SBF Classic Vespa's Cafe 2009 / 2010

the backfire can be bacause the setting is too rich too. but most prolly its ya plug that didnt fire up after kicking it for a couple of time that it backfires.

like the guys say, u better have it check up. u dont want to have a weak leg everytime u kickstart ya scoot. :0

cheers

[Sharpey]

Wow... you night owls certainly lengthened the tread

 

Mind you I did post at about 2am the night before last ha ha... I rarely stay up so late these days... am such an old man!

 

Gweester, the crank isn't wider... it will fit.... to be honest I don't fully understand... but think of it allowing the crank to have 1.5mm extra travel on each stroke.... thus allowing it to sink lower in the cases and thus increase the displacement of the cylinder.... The Pinasco 200cc kit runs better with a 60mm crank as far as I have read... so, seeing as am paranoid that my current crank is about to self destruct, I'm going to bite the bullet and import one from Germany.

morning guys!

1 nite i'm not online only so much you guys post....

i'll be available for the meetup..

need you guys to look at my scoot...

[fluffpuff]

haha we sure did eh sharpey anyway, hmm i am a bit lost when you guys start on all these technical aspects. frankly, i don't know even know where my crank and plug are located and what purposes they serve haha geez anyway, as you guys were saying, i guess i need to go send my bike in for checking and get a crash course from ah joo at the same time

[-ResiDue-]

fluff >yeap...just look at whatever he's doing to you scoot n try to remember...

sparkplugs are very easy to remove....you just need the special tool....

[Gweester]

machine_k,

 

by the time you asked....am fast asleep...heehee!!! gotto work lah....althogh i am on half day...woo hoo!!!

 

fluffpuff, you can do some read up on the links i posted to cephelix...helps in some way or another....they explain the overall thingy on our scoots...just some overview..

 

shaprey, addition 1.5mm displacement...hmmm...

if it's a 60mm crank it's gotto be the diameter (wider) rite?

cos with the con rod, i also dont really understand how it will fit...

your crank gonna spoilt?

also you might wanna shave off and do some modification before you install the crank...more inlet time...more fuel....more power!!

BTW is your crank already shaved?

does the new 60mm crank come shave?

[fluffpuff]

hmm the list looks fully male how intimidating

[Gweester]

intimidating??? ahhahah...nah...

anyway i guess it is a first meetup and we are all not so familiar with each other...so this meetup is to chat and chill out....

also if this meetup is confirm...will ask the VCS people along...there are some female riders with modern scoots too...

 

am gtg to TA this afternoon....anyone?

we will be as feminine as we can so as not to make u feel weird... is tat fine with u? should we come with pink top as well? eheh:cheeky:

[machine k]

fluffpuff>> if u come along, it will be less intimidating... maybe i can get another female px200 rider down, so that she can learn a thing or 2 from Sharpey.

 

Gweester>> u took half day off to go TA? haha. weather's looking great so far~

[fluffpuff]

haha ya it is intimidating if you are the only female in a bunch of 10 guys or so, some more guys you aren't familiar with haha anyway oohh yeah i know VCS has some female riders, supposed to join them on a couple of occasions but till today, i somehow haven't

[machine k]

u make it sound like we are some baddies..

i live in holland v....

[Sharpey]

Gweester.... the crank will be shaved/cut when I buy it yes... Worb5 know thier stuff...

 

The one I have now is shaved/cut to allow for a longer inlet... I'm just worried that the bearings might be on their last legs (PARANOIA let me go) and that the crank wasn't properly balanced after being shaved....

 

I know the crank will fit... its a popular mod for pinasco px200 users....

[Gweester]

I guess the contact number would be useful...otherwise..how to call when in trouble...
