cletus Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Got an exhaust that releases more of the ringaningding Had a 94 jet in it, I got a 96 and a 99. Put the 99 in and it seems to like it. It goes much better now. Went up a hill at wot for a bit and cut ignition, pulled the plug. Looks ok from what I can find on the internet? @Raizer what you reckon? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cletus Posted January 27, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2019 Solo pesting today, went for a tour around whitford, beachlands, maraetai, clevedon, thru twilight road, some off roading at a new subdivision where I found a vespa kickstart lever will bring you to a sudden stop if it gets caught in gorse. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cletus Posted January 28, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2019 Had this on trademe but nobody wanted it Logical thing to do is more mods instead, put a longer rear shock in, jacked up the front with some spacers on top of the springs, and some china pit bike knobbly tyres on it. Done some off roading this afternoon, it's good on grass and gravel, not so good on steep hills. And a bit odd on the road, the rear feels slippery around corners, unsurprisingly 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Much to @RUNAMUCK s dissapointment I spent more time fiddling with 2 wheeled things instead of working on the plymouth. A mod that the internet says is good is to drill out 2 extra holes in the air filter, I couldn't see how it would help that much but I did it anyway and went up to a bigger jet. Tried a 104, and a 106, it seems good with the 106 so I left that in it. I don't know if it's any faster, my butt dyno can't pick up changes that small... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad for china spec parts, little bit of de burring on the valve holes and had to tidy up the threads in the wheel nuts they were supplied with. Swapped the rear tyre to the front, left the spare and cover off, made a thing to hold rego and wof tags. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP_wag Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Nice, I sold my one of dem last year. Does it have the factory carb? Makes a mean commuter for sure, good height/vis and brap from light to light. Not sure I agree re comfort, my butt hurt riding more than about 40mins - very windy at speed too! Wicked fun tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cletus Posted May 23, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah the windyness is good for the license I think, it was pretty comfortable getting along at 90-100 Stock carb, might have had a re jet cause it's already had the common airbox mod and an exhaust Put some new tyres on it today, front is stock 120/70/17, rear was a 140/70/17 but I got a 150/60/17, bridgestone S21. Won't be doing any skids on these, bike tyres are a bit more of a muck around to change than car ones. And not cheap. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 nice!, bike shop to change the tyres? what width/size are the rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I dropped the wheels off at the bike shop, it wasnt very expensive for them to fit Fronts are 3.5", rears are 4.5", both 17" The biggest pain changing the wheels was those little plastic crash knob things... I said many swear words at those 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Matthew Black. Because its cheap, requires less prep and I can do it myself. I had ideas of painting it some sort of military green or tan but that would require a different set of wheels to go with it . Matt black I think the wheels still work, could get them vapour blasted to a matt finish as well 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
