Nope was looking for a Bigfoot for Mrs randomly found that. She changed tack wanted engine on that other scooter i have waiting it's turn.

Haha been watching that on Facebook.... found a good home.

It also breaks chain.... not so good.

A few of the last tweaks have had a combined effect it now revs to around 5000rpm does rolling burnouts with 75kg of me on board.

Stainless steel wool jammed in the muffler works a treat found pot scourers worked best on my Bonneville can hook em out with wire. Can fine tune it between power and noise they don't last forever but stops unwanted attention.

There's a guy in my street who owns a noisy as fuck Harley the ghastly stretched American tv style. while I was cleaning my car the other morning watched him try and fail to start it for around 10 minutes the peak of this was him trying to crash start it and it fucking off up the street without him while he watched from the ground having tripped trying to jump on it. He saved it just before it hit my neighbors car but it died again outside my house cue Death-ped and jumper leads and a sheepish Harley owner getting told he needs a earth lead on his engine because he's frying his clutch cable.

Mazda did a while back even came in white to match the other appliances.

Make a T and start the bastard with a drill.

Did you find out what killed it after the post mortem?

I did muck around with the front brakes today turns out the mount bracket was bent so the pads were missing part of the rotor and had worn a bit weird. Straightened bracket machined pads with my sander and slapped it all back together yay the grinding sound from my Go-pro vid is mostly gone.

Shitty neighbors few houses up partied till 4 am last night.... ruined their sleep in this morning with donuts on my back lawn around 8am then ripping past their house got middle finger from the guy behind me once he figured out what I was up to I got the thumbs up. Fuck think I may have stretched my chain doing it though. Need to rethink my chain tensioner to cope with engine braking.

My only experience with 2 strokes is with one of these engines...... exact same thing flywheel spat the 6mm cap screw and ate stuff fixed that and clutch exploded ending my interest in that engine. Sure it's going to be sorted easily.

Fuck yes! Sounds half way between a swarm of wasps with laser beams on their heads and a huge chainsaw. Don't spare the safety gear on your first ride picking it'll be an absolute handful to ride.

Got sick of staring at the exhaust and kicked myself in the ass for been lazy when I first built it. Both pipes now enter the muffler straight I also linished off the welds and pulled the front pipe 50mm closer in after burning my jeans. Minute power gain possibly as i spent about 4 hours making sure every pipe matched up nicely and no gases blowing into restrictions. Thats Saturday gone..... if its not making 20hp now I'd be surprised I'm also sure if I took it to a Dyno people would keel over with laughter.

Had a brainwave to solve the taking off without me dying issue, "Launch Control" Being a twin i've got 2 independent coils if i rig up a momentry button on the bars to ground one coil i can take off with 10 ish horsepower then engage beastmode once rolling, kind of a design disaster but i cant take the covers off with the engine in the frame as i put the bars around the engine to protect it if i came off. Turbo will have to wait (I will do it) till i cave and put this in something with suspension and possibly a numberplate.

Got hands on a Go-pro Actual moving video with ridiculous mechanical noise.

Misses has admitted she's keen on one with a smaller engine. 50cc will be plenty for her will build hers so we can explore waiheke etc, she's bought an adults scooter that will be ideal. It's hanging upside down at present no need to adjust your screens.

Can confirm it does the speed limit and has plenty more in it. Really needs a Cvt now makes peak torque just as the clutch engages resulting in the first 3 or so meters on the back wheel, if you get your weight up front though it'll wheel spin till your bored.

Dumb headlights.... remind me of the below.

Fuel in the tank was from the bottle I was using it was full. Fuel lines are bit complicated but the fuel pumps 30 micron filter presented a bit of a head scratcher so this will do for Now so I don't kill the pump.

Bracket to mount it not Kimjon spec but it works. Also fitted an Air filter and strangely enough Headlights they look stupid but work quite well.

Fitted 1.5 litre go-ped fuel tank today so has enough juice for around an hour of hooning. I bought 2 but they end up been bigger then I was expecting so didn't tuck into the frame where I wanted them to go.

What's the name of the app? @cletus tried heaps to clock my machine most just show me adds or flatten my battery.

Just buy one of these Engel Fridges used to have them in work vans I used to have. Hold a dozen beers and 2 litres of milk no worries on a hot day you would have to crank the engine up around midday or you weren't starting up at 4. But they did get things icy from warm and keep them cold. I once filled mine with snow in the south island bought it back to Auckland so my kids could see it/postpone another expensive holiday.

The only way it could be any cooler is if he drove it to work on Fridays.
