LF250 / Re: Oil Filter?
« on: April 21, 2009, 10:40:35 AM »
Ah-ha, the light dawns! I've just discovered that my bike has the same oil filter under the cover held by three screws as previously mentioned by the above biker - thanks for the info. I have a sneaky suspicion that the dealer I got the bike from doesn't know about the filter either. There is also the small gauze filter set under the engine but I suspect this maybe to catch the rough stuff from when the engine if first assembled and isn't too important I guess.

Hi, my Skygo 250 cruiser has a gauze filter but it's a pain to get out. It's set underneath the gearbox (foot brake side) right where the frame tube is and can only be removed with care as the spring which holds the gauze gets in the way. I had my first dealer service which included an oil change but when I asked about the filter I got a very vague reply. I did the second oil change and checked the filter which was pretty gunged up with bits so obviously the dealer hadn't touched it. Hope this helps, Pat

LF250 / Re: rear sprocket
« on: April 20, 2009, 02:09:05 PM »
Any luck with getting another rear sprocket? I'm assuming that the 38 teeth is less than the standard sprocket and hence raising the gearing? I'd be interested to see if the bike can take the higher gearing as I'd consider doing the same - I tend to do a lot of cruising. Thanks, Pat

LF250 / Owning a Skygo SG250 - B
« on: April 20, 2009, 12:45:37 AM »
I've owned my Skygo SG 250 - B for about 6 months now and have had almost nothing but pleasure from it. The only real problem I've had is with a slight misfire in the engine caused I believe by a sticking slide in the CV carburettor. I did remove the slide once (bit fiddly as there's quite a lot to remove to just get at it) and put some light oil on it which seemed to cure the problem but of course the oil didn't last long with all the petrol around and the slight misfire has returned. It only occurs on light load throttle settings so is more of a slight annoyance really. When I get to check the tappet adjustments I'll take the slide out and polish it to see if that cures it once and for all. I'm unlucky enough not to have a garage (converted to eldest son's bedroom) so the poor bike has to live outside under a cover so the rust is appearing in a few places but mainly cosmetic at this stage and easily cured. The bike's running characteristics are great with ample power, good handling and very good fuel economy. All in all a great bike and so bladdy cheap compared to Jap stuff - Skygo 250 £1400 - Honda CG125 £2000

LF250 / Anyone know the tappet adjustment for the LF250?
« on: April 19, 2009, 11:53:26 AM »
Does anyone happen to know the tappet adjustment for the UK version of the LF 250 - B cruiser? Also, how to adjust the cam chain - if it has any adjustment that is? Thanks, Pat
