Re: 200 CC ENGINE CASING - LAST BATCH / PRODUCTION END ?

I did ask Scooters India to look into the problem with the rear brake shoes locating pins and the rear brake cam, and after several tests they said that they could not find anything wrong with their machining. Perhaps it may be the odd casing that seems to have this problem with the problem being ma...

Re: 200 CC ENGINE CASING - LAST BATCH / PRODUCTION END ?

Thanks for clearing that one up, I was wondering what he meant by "offset rear brake". We had no end of problems with Italian brake shoes, we had to return over 200 sets back to the manufacturer to have the brake shoes skimmed down to the correct diameter. Offcourse everybody assumed the S...

Re: 200 CC ENGINE CASING - LAST BATCH / PRODUCTION END ?

The reason why we sold the 200cc casings so cheap before, was because all the other UK and European dealers were buying casings direct from Indian Exporters based in India in small batches of between 10 to 50. We were supposed to have the exclusive on the 1,000 casings, with a new batch for 1,000 ca...

Re: 200 CC ENGINE CASING - LAST BATCH / PRODUCTION END ?

The last batch of a 1000 arrived in November 2005, and we still have around 250 casings left, so you can see that it would take several years, well decades really to sell the quantity that Scooters India are asking for me to ord...

Re: 200 CC ENGINE CASING - LAST BATCH / PRODUCTION END ?

I can't really say at this moment in time what quantity Scooters India are asking for, but it's in the thousands and a huge financial decision to make especially when you have to pay in advance and then have to wait a year before you receive the first batch.

Re: 200 CC ENGINE CASING - LAST BATCH / PRODUCTION END ?

These are the last batch of 200cc engine casings unless you know something different? Marketing ploy , perhaps you could show me where I have used the phrase "this is the last batch that will ever be manufactured" where this has not been the truth. I have just come back from Scooters India...
