whoa reddy!

abit extreme eh ur soot....

hope you're ok....

guys,does TA sell tools? or toolkit for scoots?

i dont think they sell essential tools set for vespa.. all u have to do is to collect and get a bag to store it in like i did. i slowly collect the tools til wat it is today.. most important are spark plug opener, tyre spanner( the one that the head can rotate), phillip and normal screwdriver, plier,long nose,cutter, and adjustable spanner. thats abt it. and the lastest addition was small spanenr to tighten the screw for ya clutch tension. i can show u my tool bag if we meet at meet up and u can write down the sizes cos i cant remember them.

Gweester>> even with rectifier , the current won't be stable for IU? or you need to rev as you ride thru gantries? thought for IU, you need to have a steady constant supply of power (aka battery).

 

just wondering

[Chung7x]

hey guys how's it going. i've been a loyal AJ customer since day one (got my vespa there haha) but today i went to TA to get a new exhaust. i've heard lots of rumors about the auntie being a nagger etc etc but to be honest i found her quite friendly and nice heehee. and although i'm not much of an expect but i thought the workmanship is comparable to that of AJ. pricing is pretty reasonable too. only thing is must go one big round through the erp gantry and up the carpark to the workshop. i even had my AJ Scooters sticker on my vespa when i went to TA haha. overall it was good, and i guess i'm on the fence on the whole AJ vs TA thingy. don't understand what's all the fuss about anyway. =P

 

oh and i was talking to the mechanic of TA (sorry didn't get his name) and he said earlier vespas.. those i think 10years+ actually don't require a battery at all. the battery is only intended for the IU. just learnt that today. =P so i'm just curious where does the electricity actually come from for my CDI px150?

I haven't quite finish uploading the pics...

but the link is here for your reference.

Any enquiries can PM me. Last day of purchase is Saturday afternoon cos the shop owner rests on Sunday and I fly Monday early morning to SG liao

While stocks last...

[-ResiDue-]

SK I > curious to know how the exhaust extender fits onto a stock exhaust...

> how much are the flaps?

> how much is the rubber grips?

>bubble grips??

 

chung > yeah, went to TA twice already n the auntie didn't seem as bad as i thought it would be. workmanship to me is the same between AJ & TA but for accessories, i'll probably scout both shops first before deciding to purchase

[fluffpuff]

chung - you haven't kena from the TA auntie about AJ yet huh haha don't worry, you should experience it first-hand the next time you go to TA it's quite entertaining really. apart from that, yea i find her pretty nice and patient myself

no worries fluffpuff....thanks for the offer....appreciate it....

prata cafe is a little hard to go without transport....AND i've got heaps of work this week....project is due....so it really depends what time i knk off from work....

[Chung7x]

fluff - yea haha guess i was lucky this time. but i refrained myself from mentioning the word "AJ" and i parked my scoot quite far away so the AJ Scooter sticker was out of sight haha. i noticed she likes to walk out and peep at bikes parked outside her shop ar heehee. but it's okay la.. all in good fun. =P

 

so any idea when Bianca will be ready?

[-ResiDue-]

do try to make it gwee....

hope as many ppl make it as possible

[Sharpey]

Hey Gweester.. don't feel you need to commit on a worb5 order... if the stuff SK1 has is more your style... no worries

[-ResiDue-]

what's gwee ordering from worb5?

sharpey > you're ordering internal parts right?

[fluffpuff]

yep sure hope to see you gweester - my late night chat buddy together with machine_k

 

anyway chung - i have no idea when bianca will be ready. hopefully soon! then i can ride her to work - great opportunity since both my dad and brother are away on a trip and no wonder you didn't get to hear some classic backstabbing from the TA auntie - you didn't mention ah joo's name! haha if you don't, she will leave his name alone but if you do, hmm prepare for the floodgates to be released

[machine k]

i have a buddy! haha

 

lately been a bit busy (and lazy) to check the thread... hope to see everyone on friday.

 

Gweester, try to come lah... can update us on what u have done on ur sprint =)

As i do not go thru gantry very often (probably only 3-4 month), i was contemplating whether to put the IU or not....the battery take up space so my mechanic recommended me a better rectifier and tap the current direct from the coil-drive...

machine_k, for your question...from my past experience with rectifier + battery...yes, u need to rev when gtg thru gantry but you will be opening your throttle anyway....
