[Sharpey]

We're pretty spread out when you look at that list!

 

Oh well... Singapore is a small island... even on a Vespa

 

What's falling off your scoot Maz?

[Gweester]

Sharpey, guess maz scoots has got all the thingy that failed him when he went to m'sia....welding joint on the bracket for the exhaust, bolts and nuts on the front wheel....

[Sharpey]

Aha... Well good luck getting it all fixed Maz...

[Sharpey]

Ok... Here's my wishlist for the Worb 5 order...

 

1) 60mm Maz Crank, gas flowed and cut to 185deg inlet

2) Scorpion Exhaust

3) 1.5mm base gasket.....

 

These should weigh in at about 7 kilos and this costs abt 120 euro to ship to Singapore. Their shipping prices are as follows

 

upto 5kg 70Eur

upto 10kg 120Eur

etc...

 

So, I've got 3 more kilos of space in the shipment before the charge goes up.... Anyone want anything from Worb5??

[Gweester]

I will check the webbie soon...havent got the time recently...

 

the scorpion exhaust comes with all the necessary documents for LTA approval?

[Sharpey]

yeah... I need to check.... I have 1 doc (from sip) which states that the exhaust is manufactured for the scoot... but the E-Pass cert isn't there....

 

Am checking if worb5 can supply this to me...

 

I'm not ordering super soon, want to double check what LTA wants.... Don't want to buy an expensive exhaust and have them reject!

[Sharpey]

Hopefully I can submit forms to LTA before purchase to get preliminary approval...

[maz]

At last everything is rectified. Can hear that the scoot is purring with delight. What a relief. lucky reddy accompanied me while he rectify his lost of compression. loose nuts of the carburettor. but disappered b4 i could get to my damper.

 

Sharpey> nearly everything is falling off.except for me. haha. before new yr the whole lamp came off cos the braket came loose. and it started disintegrating from there. yest was the worse. exhaust dropped off twice and i ran over it cos the welding on the braket failed. bicycle cord safed me from dropping it gizzillion time. now its back to my fav pipe but have to patch up some tiny rust holes on it. then the rear signal light came loose nut fell off. lastly and ultimately the front damper unsrew itself at the top. so had them all fixed today. guess VIBRATION is the real culprit for nuts unscrewing by itself.everthying was fast except the front damper. took awhile to saw off the but from the fork. it got stuck. the rest wasa zippy.

 

thanks for the wishes guys. it aye ok. hope it stays that way for awhile. it feels gd to have done. and hope my work horse can make it to the meet.

[maz]
