Hi all .

Please can any one help , I have a Sioux it's been locked away for toooo many years . The last owners wanted to rebuild it , but as normal never did.
I got the bike this year after sitting in a back of a barn for many years it started upfirst time ;-) .
I need help . There is no reg number nor logbook as they was lost years ago .is there any way to find out the age and the reg at all .

Problems I have found
Clutch seems to be sticky
Kick start slips .( electric start fine )
Most panels are cracked or brokern
No water pipes

I just don't know if should sell or restor it . I have had a offer to buy it but £45,00 is I think a bit low .

You could try asking Piaggio to look it up from the VIN but I guess it was never an official import to the UK.

Early 90's. Parts will be hard to find. Someone is advertising one on Gumtree. Complete more or less for £150. Documents lost like yours.

looks like a mini RC/C :)
So all the engine parts from the 125ccm Gileras from that time will fit.
So first we will have to make shure which engine is mounted.
Power valve cover clear plastics.... electronic
Power valve solid aluminium... pneumatic.
With that information you may find parts at the electronical bay from other gileras.

I think the Sioux is also included in the workshop manuals of the 125ccm Gileras.
Have a look at the members area here around.

It looks like the Sioux is rather rare. So keep it an enjoy ;)


<edit> uupsss.... 50ccm?
The 125 seems to be another indian. Apache.
Sorry :S

ciao Joachim
