Decided to try find the reason this wasn't charging the battery as it is equipped with a a 10 amp coil. Wiring is a bit of a birds nest but not to many dodgy connections, decided to ditch the Honda ignition box as it stuck out heaps and digs into your leg when riding it. More functional but a bit more ugly for now I'm not worried as it all works again and will tidy it up.

What's the go with rego? Class etc is it similar to forkhoist reg.

Here it is doing it's thing May of ridden it a little bit..... without the governer it's way better the throttle does what you tell it and needing more twist you can roll on and off the juice smoothly. It's grunty as fuck but really controllable now. Stunt double needed.

Been a man with a lot of free time at present and also impatient I tried swapping the spark plug from sad cylinder to the good one. Fuck me..... the fault followed. First thing I did when I got the engine was throw new oil plugs an filter at it. Chucked in an old plug I had at back of tool box BOOM twin cylinders again. So my morning then got busy with modifying the carb linkages to be more progressive and no longer connected to the governer. This is what I've come up with governer has been given a spring to tug it's heart out on. The little plastic arm on the carby got lengthening using a perfectly shaped tab from the governer arm with a heavy as return spring. The extra cable I've left on for when I change to something bigger.

Smart or stupid I'm not sure I sold my GSXR to fund doing more shit to this "thing" I've ridden this far more than in the 12 months it's been going then the 18 years i owned the Suzuki.

Also picked up some wider handle bars the bmx one's don't work to well with the motorcycle brake levers and bind up the throttle if it's not left overhanging a bit. they did prove a theory that I had though wider bars should Equal more control so happy to upgrade now.

Have had this thing running a bit it keeps dropping a cylinder and fouling the plug it's definitely not happy. Going to look a bit deeper and give the heads a tickle with the die grinder and redo the headers in bigger tube and depending on whether I can find a kit for these Mikuni's might just slap a 1 3/4 SU on there. If budget allows a hot cam will go in too and some pick a part valve springs are needed to stop it valve bouncing at 3800rpm.

Looks like the scooter mod equivalent of a tunnel ram looks mint.

Sweet no more key ring needed.

Cyclecar maybe?

I'm keen on something like a dragster. Or make some kind of Buell knock off out of a sportbike

Just trying to make it a bit more tractable the factory carb goes from idle to full noise with about 10mm of throttle twist then the governer gets involved and makes it bunny hop. Scooter is just a test mule I'll pull this motor off eventually and put it in something else it's just going to keep evolving for a bit longer till i decide what to do with it. Till then it's ready to rip at dromegedden.

Is that on the roof? If it is you can forget about anything quick. best fix a roof skin without those strips in them absolute water and dirt trap. My sister had a civic back in the 90's that my dad bogged up and painted 6 monthly for its warrants. Was a blistering leaky mess again pretty quickly after each fix real design disaster. if it's not to bad now get the rust welded up and have a chat about stopping it coming back with your panel beater could fill the channels and get rid of the trim all together.

Wouldn't surprise me @Raizer... slides flat at front = flatslide to this motorcycle bits novice. I'm sure they'll perform much better then the tiny single throat jobby on there now.

Idle control valve might be buggered not compensating for load on engine.

My little air filters arrived for the flatslide mikuni's I bought December last year off EBay. Might take a little bit of time to fit these as I can't ride it for a bit and need to rebuild and rejet them for E85 Might jam something else in the inlet tract yet too......

There are advantages keeping heat in ya pipes I couldn't recall what they are right now. Heat wrap done done right looks sexy anyways.

You need to change your thread title man this thing is beyond epic and the engine is worked to the absolute limit!

I've acquired another stock electric scooter which will get the 2 stroke treatment nothing compared to this though. Watching your build eagerly now I'm out of action.

Where'd you get your parts from? In need of a proper fuel tank.

I'm looking forward to seeing you ride this wouldn't mind betting it's terrifying! And could put much bigger engines to shame.

It now makes 36 horsepowers.

I thought it was dangerous before but had gotten used to the power after changing the gearing it was more manageable. Need to make throttle throw longer to tame it should be ok it's geared to hit the governer around 60 ks now.

I need a more progressive throttle it's still clearing it's throat a bit so was taking it gingerly sputtering along it cleared and the front wheel came right off the ground about a foot I near shit myself. Took it out on wet tarseal after letting it idle till it was definitely running on 2 if you lean over the bars and get on the front brakes figure 8s are hilarious. So bloody loud! I've torn up the front lawn as well in case I fell off I'd rather land on grass.

Since I did the exhaust the front pipe has burnt all it's paint off the back has not so I yanked a lead today..... fuck me it's been running one cylinder this whole time ! The boot had been arcing out so wee dodgy plug lead mod and holy shit it's unrideable it just wheel stands or wheel spins and sounds insane. Can do proper stand up donuts now.
