Re: Scomadi 200?

why have they had to drop the 300 engine ? They built something like 30 hand built in Britain bikes that were numbered and cost around £8000 which Piaggio provided the engines for. Then it seems Piaggio found out that they were going into production of a Chinese produced vehicle with the gts 300 en...

Re: Exol optima race full synthetic....Is this right?

Yes, but how did it run? :lol: Ironically it ran a bit boggy and rich, but I put it down to a change from a semi synth to a full synth mixed in the tank. When I first used this scoot doing coast to coast, I was being tight and using up all oddments of oil, ie some Putoline mx5 and mx7 at 4% and it ...

Re: Exol optima race full synthetic....Is this right?

Thankyou both for the replies. It was a concern as it just seemed wrong. I;ve heard it smells a bit ,as do one or two others that are available now , but the colour just didn't seem normal for an oil of any description. I shall now empty my tank and go for fresh fuel and oil just to be safe,cheers,S...

Re: Best carb for a TS1 + JL3

On my S type TS1 which I have owned from new, I have a tiny hole the size of a ten pence cut in the panel. This was because the 34mm Amal mk2 banjo would catch the panel. The bellmouth of the carbs were also machined down , so that the carb would fit under the GP panel. I have since moved to a 30mm ...

Re: what exhaust

Is it the low slung down pipe from the stub manifold that makes you say it's low? If you still want an expansion pipe and not a box pipe like a clubman, then you could consider the Fresco.
