SBF Classic Vespa's Cafe 2009 / 2010

Thanks for the info! Should have given that earlier when we were discussing.. Haha.. Tho I feel it's a little pricey too, at least I get to learn how to clean dismental the carb assembly.. Well my office is at Yishun, I'll drop by Tock Seng to have a look..

 

BTW I found a nice P150X already.. How much does it cost for a respray?

 

well like sharpey said its cost for keeping hands clean and time free.

 

for me i feel that taking the time to ride to the shop and to wait while it is being serviced is not any less than the time taken to do it on my own.

 

Plus i am paranoid and rather do minor maintainence on my own, because i will take more care and do it right. As long as i know how to, and if i have the right tools.

 

but thats if you're like me.

 

 

 

Paint wise.. depends on what kind of quality you want. ranges from 300-1000.

Alright. I just want to know about that shop and did not give any comments of it. Hope you understand why I asked that. Have more chat with you guys when there is a meet up again.

 

Btw does anyone go to JB for doing up their vespa? Any experience or comments in there?

 

 

Finding a bike shop that you like can be a long and tedious process. It's your money and you have the ultimate right to choose where you wanna spend it at.

After TA break my headlight on my PX and still want me to pay for a new one myself. I never go there anymore..

Cool... can do. The classic vespa thread hasn't met face to face in AGES! High time we did...

 

For your second q... yes. There's Man Masai (the guy's name is man... his shop is in masai) don't know how to get there yet... but hear he's pretty good.

 

There is also Ali at Waja industrial park (off the koti tinggi road oppositie "the store"). Ali does some pretty creative and decent quality body work... doesn't do paint or engines though...

Totally agree here... sometimes a "new" mechanic will do the servicing on your bike... they tend to learn vespas on the job, and sometimes can screwup your scoot (had air filter screw threaded by this).... Either make sure the right mech services your bike... or DIY... then you can only blame yourself when you screw things up

 

But seriously, carb and topend cleaning is nothing you can't do yourself... it's really very easy.

Can I hav the man masai address?

Maybe will try to look for myself there.

[Sharpey]

Somewhere in masai I would guess... Sorry don't know the specifics.

Hmmm... Maybe its the petrol station nearby?

Actually i think its normal. i cover my bike too, and there's that smell.

Sometimes smells of paint. Maybe it has got something to do with science......

Well, if you're not having any problems with your machine, then don't worry.

[whazzup]

mine got no smell when cover with a bike cover. it might be petrol leak on where ever u park?

[Ruzaini]

below bike no petrol leak signs leh.. only when open the bike cover in the morning..FUYOH!! the smell of fuel rabak man.. even my dad who parks his bike beside mine said he can smell fuel coming from my vespa even when it is closed with a bike cover..

maybe its the tubing, hose of the carbs that are worn out..

watever it is, just hope its not some carb problem ah..if not die..

[machine k]

hmm or is your fuel tank cap worn out? rubber cracking, or not capped properly.

Shouldn't have petrol smell, i cover my bike too. Hope it helps.

 

anyways, petrol evaporate relatively fast so you might not see a pool of petrol so your cover just trap all the fumes. For the time being till you find out what's wrong, don't smoke near your bike. haha
