    Zip 125
    Hey guys,

    Name is billy I live in the West Yorkshire area(Leeds) and I am a owner of a Piaggio zip 125 4t

    Been looking around the website for a good few months now I have learnt a lot from the website. The zip been my first ped and not knowing much about them at all the website has helped me tweak and fix various small issues.

    There is some great people around here from what I have seen so far, nice to meet you all!

    Hey guys!

    I can get some pictures of my zip tomorrow for you guys, I heard the zip 125 4t is rare? Not sure how true that is but she is a great ped! (When running) :d

    Here is a few of my zip from inside which I had taken a while back ImageUploadedByTapatalk1380556936.822792.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1380556959.719834.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1380556984.453765.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1380557011.678560.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1380557040.447356.jpg

    Not the best looking zip but its how I got the ped I plan to fix all once I get some advice on why she isn't sparking!

    Thanks mate yeah I'd go for a ride out anytime once the ped is fixed.

    By any chance know any decent place to take the ped to get looked at around these areas? Only know limited things about the ped and don't know what is at fault right now :)

    Will give them a go bud, mostly just need to know what is at fault so I don't go replacing anything which is fine.

    Well yerstday didn't really go to plan, rang start rights and they are fully booked for another 3 weeks. Rang dyrons and they wanted £120 to look over my scoot and drop back at my place. So obviously not going to go with them they are the closest garage around as its within the mile but there prices are ridiculous.

    So back to square one :/

    really?!?! £120 just to look at your bike thats outrageous just keep searching google for places in or near leeds n only reason i suggested start right was because thats where my cbr got some work done which was a cam chain tensioner ,new chain and sprockets and a rear wheel bearing and they took pritty much all day to do it n charged me £195 for it

    Yeah I've also heard some good things about start rights from friends I've been trying to contact bob his a mobile mechanic from dewsbury and I think his prices will be fairly decent we'll at least much cheaper than dyrons also if I can get in touch with him I simply don't have to take or get transport to take the ped any where so think am going to try him first thing in the morning as its a house number I guess his out through day as his most likely already taken up a call

    sounds like a plan and you could leave a voicemail on his house fone if he has an answer machine
