Skorpion sport restoration
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2015 4:41 am
HI,
My partner has had a sport for years, about 13 k kms as I recall. She got sick and the bike has stood for years unused. Last time it was in at the mechanics they said the radiator was leaking.
I'm thinking of putting it back on the road. I have some questions if I may. If these are answered somewhere I would appreciate a pointer. I looked but couldn't find answers.
Is the radiator a yamaha item ?
Can you get parts and workshop manuals anywhere ? I found a parts listing online, but would very much like a shop manual.
Is it possible to use traveller footpeg hangers or something else to lower and bring forward the pegs ?
Where is a good place to source parts ?
I'm old so I don't fold as well as I used to I'm thinking of using it as a general purpose bike. Pity as it's a wonderful scratcher but I'm past that. Just a shame to see it unused...
We are in Australia.
Thank you for reading. All thoughts appreciated.
