2001 Yamaha Scorpio from Indonesia

Summary:

This is the best bike I ever had

Faults:

The rear suspension bushes worn out after 20,000 km.

The engine stationary chain was badly loose after 50,000 km.

General Comments:

This motorcycle handles extremely good on dry and wet roads.

This is the fastest Knock-Down-Built 4-stroke bike in my country.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

That's real biker comment. I have 2002 Yamaha Scorpio too, and my problem as same as the writer, how to solve it? Where I can buy rear suspension bushes and engine chain in Indonesia?

The 2007 model is named as the "new Scorpio Z" in Indonesia. It has air ignition system (AIS) for euro II standard. The fuel tank model is different from the 2002. It looks more sporty. And as September 2007, it comes with cast wheels upgrade.

As of August 2007, it also sells out in New Zealand and Australia for $3795 NZD & $4500 AUD. Instead the price in Indonesia is about Rp21 million ($2100 USD). The max speed I've reach on this bike is 150km/h (on 19hp), with high compression piston replacement (by Federal Izumi Manufacturing/FIM - aftermarket part), the power gets more up to 22hp, means it can reach 170km/h as easy. (The Yamaha Fazer 250cc also has 22hp). But for a small modified option, 85% of the owners prefer just to porting the original exhaust & main jet to gain more extra power, and also get a bit wider rear tire. Since 2002 until 2007, more than 15 Scorpio clubs have opened in Indonesia, with average 100 members each per club.

Can anyone tell me if any of the big four Japanese companies make a 125 or bigger trail bike in Malaysia or Indonesia, thanks.

I have owned a 2007 Scorpio Z for around two months now, and have found it to be great fun. So far I have pushed it to 160kmh, but it took a while to get there, and I am hoping to modify it for a greater top speed.

Hi I own a new Scorpio Z. Can anyone tell me of a few websites that I can buy aftermarket performance parts for my bike? eg. piston kit, air kit, and larger front sprocket or smaller rear sprocket. Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks

Steven.
