What scooter are you riding?

[peter_c20]

I have a Honda nh125 Lead, they seem to be very rare. I brought mine on trade me for $800, and have only seen one other on that site, and that was wrecked. Are there any others out there?, any for sale as parts in the lower south island?. I thought since mine seems to be quite rare I might keep it just to have something different. It is in good condition, but rough.
Also just brought a new SJ50QT for the handbrake to ride to work and save gas. I took the restrictor out, and it is giving 100 k's to the tank, nothing like the figures claimed by others. Anyone shed any light on why???

...apart from "get rid of it girl!"

Hi there,

I have just bought a fairly clapped-out FS50 for a project do-up. It has had a very hard life from the looks of it and needs virtually every bit of body-work replaced or repaired.

Anyone out owned or worked on one of these before? I would love to get into it and am suffering that post-purchase depression, where I am wondering if I have bitten off more than I can chew!

cheers
Cari

which might suit for parts etc. Thus far the bidding has only reached $7!! and is due to close on Wed 5th Oct. Don't worry - I am not the seller, nor do I know the seller. Am just another person who has bought a scooter off Trademe and am now looking about for parts to fix the thing up.

If you know of any Suzuki FS50 bits to be had - let me know!

Best of luck with your project

cheers

Cari

I have an FS50 parts book which is handy to identify parts with, printed 1974. looks like it shares a lot of parts with the V50 stepthrough.and the FS1E (Fizzy) ss50.which was a 5 speed rocket.

Bummer - are you okay - and (gulp) is the bike still going? Bus Drivers really, really make me want to commit murder at times

I am riding a Suzuki SJ50 aswell.

Its great! Goes really well de-restricted and keeps up with traffic no sweat.

Yep and it does get about 100k off a single tank of gas!

Not bad for $1000

I got a scooter to save gas (my skyline is a hungry hipppo) and for $320 I got a honda 1980 somthing Honda FC50 scooter, its pretty strange looking and I have only ever seen one other. Its water cooled, has factory rev counter as well as all the normal stuff, factory expansion chamber and it has a thing called "v-tacs" which is like a foot operated "v-tec" system but for a 2 stroke. According to Honda it makes 7.2hp/5.4kw. So far I have done abour 2000km and its getting slower so I think the piston/rings are getting worn, I hope I can get some more or I will have to sell it

Hi All,
i have a stock (maroon coloured) 2005 sj50qt brought it originally as an a2b mobile while i get my rotabug on the road but now i am having so much fun with it, may have to start modding it too.

please let us know when there are stainless exhausts available for them, oh and air filter upgrades

[50fty_CC]

yeah I got a performance air filter for mine (Dio) from Scootling. it was a preoiled element that went straight into the factory box..

There was a big range, including some for suzukis.

I put that filter then added some holes to the airbox and put in a bigger main jet to compensate for extra air. Also had fitted ZX exhaust a while ago. With the filter/airbox mod it pulls wheelies away from the lights now.. nice!

I'm new to scooting. Just got a Honda Giorno from Scootling. I've been told its a Honda Dio with a different body. Silver & white. Lovin' it. Great fun to ride (despite all the rain lately!). My commuting costs have dropped from $8 a day to $5.50 a week.
Looking forward to working on it to get a bit of extra power. Any advice on what to do as a 1st project would be appreciated.

I ride a Gilly dna.

Its had a lot of cosmetic work, have been working on performance the last month or so - total spending is around the $4k mark since October...

0-100 time has got better and better (around 8 secs if i get a good take off) just trying to get the setup fine tuned, does 140 @ 11k rpm, and still yet to change the cam and valves

Not wanting to mislead you its basically a Tact with a different body, but a lot of stuff, including the engine is the same as the Dio.
