Matt Black Scootaaayy! **MOT Passed n Insured**
 

:y::clapping: so basically i bought a scooter :homme:

this thread is gonna be covered in hate but it was a neccerary purchase for me as im not gonna have my car in oxford till end of February and with graduating uni next week i want something to run about oxford in

so i saw this scooter on gumtree

advertised as taxed but one thing was it didnt start

ended up gettin it for £75 and put it in the back of some little van driven by a pikey cunt who i swear was still pissed he didnt even strap the bike up and it fuckin fell over smashing a wing mirror.

least say he didnt get much money for his work.

time to whore

pulled it on the drive


pulled it into the garage


stripped it down


then low n behold the thing started, to be honest not sure how i got it fired up but it now runs fairly well

took it round the road on the downlow n it started running better

however body work is rubishh need a respray as its chipping n peeling




oh yea an i stripped the screws in the belt cover


any one know how to sort this?

gonna paint it black silver and blue i think

what u all think

is that the kick start thats broken? if so iirc you take the big silver cover off and you gain access to the back of it and you can change it, i love mopeds! this is my old one :)



did an engine swap on this as well ha

yea man the kick start is broken but its starts off the button think it only jus needs the lever,

i cant get the belt cover off cus i may have stripped the screw heads the other day
but you can come round n desrestrict it and generally make it faste if you want as its only a 49er

:Y:

Last scooter I had was a piaggio skipper st, least to say it didn't last long. I stripped it down and it never went back together lol, a lot harder to work on than I though so friggin fidly. Look good though mate :)

lol i never derestricted mine personally, the main restriction is the exhaust, you can modify your original one iirc, but it involves, cutting, drilling and welding a lot of faffing when you can buy a sport exhaust cheap enough but mine came with one, and then you have to take the washer out of the variator which i got my mate to do and i fitted some lighter rollers in there while it was in pieces as well which made it accelerate quicker, he also fitted me a high flow reed valve and a little k&n style air filter, made it sound less screechy lol was pretty nippy very happily get to 55mhp and on a duel carriage ways on a long straight i could reach over 60mph and happily overtake lorries lol on back roads i was doing cars! f**king loved it would love to have it back again but i sold it to a mate and he hit a tree, didnt look too bad but it got sold on to a few mates and now its lost probably been scrapped lol

EDIT: you can also get them re-jetted (fit bigger jets) and that makes them noticeably quicker, my mate had it done to his and his was faster than mine

haha cheers mate for 75 im happy with it body work is wank but im looking forward to painting as i kinda enjoy that:y:

yea i googled up how to make it quicker im gonna get it mot'd then try get it was quick as possible before i paint it, i think a sport exhaust is necessary but i dont a hugly loud chavvy one

gonna try get the variator done this weekend if i can get those burred screws off mabe do the rollers aswell

i had my variator done at a garage because when you try to undo it it just spins the variator, i shoved a spanner in the fins to stop it spinning and then the fins snapped :s lol so my mates garage used a air gun on it and it came straight off

hmm i wud do but dunno any one who works at a garage here in ox so i might jus risk it or mabe videojug will shed some light on the best ( and cheapest) way to do it, u gonna be workin on the 106 this weekend?

you'll need an impact wrench, the variator is attached to the crankshaft so trying to undo the bolt will just spin the crankshaft

:zainy:

Nice Project! I loved having a go on a scooter when I was in Zante! :p

To get the screws out get a nice sharp chisel put a nice grove on the top edge of the screw then using a flat blade screwdriver and hammer try to tap it round! If this doesn't work drill the head off and get some mole grips on the remaining thread to undo it! :y:

yea its lookin that way gonna go pick up a cheapo one today i rate as im not reli up for snapin the fins like sam did haha ;)

yea cheers man i think im gonna have to drill them out, i swear the screw heads are softer metal than usual

just push it round to dentons garage they do me loads of backhand favours! lol anytime im stuck i just take it round to them and they usually sort me out they wont mind will take them 2 seconds to zap it off, and yea tom is bringing me a h/g back tonight and we'll probably fit it tomorrow :)

ahh kk, ill have a go on it tonight but i need to take the head of the screws first, but got too much uni work to do shud have it on the road next weekend after i finish uni but need to redo my cbt

not sure what colors to paint it mabe matt black, white wheels with white mesh bits and few vans stickers haha :y:

yea that colour scheme sounds alright just take your time on it make it look good!

i got a honda 49cc. for 30 quid with a full tank of petrol. piston was on its way out so thought it couldnt be that hard with a few basic tools to renew it. ended up fapping the engine totally lol.
so bought a new engine for 50 quid. dropped it in within a day,love scooters.
still out the back garden now under cover. :p

Hope you keep that garaged else im having a go on a drunk excusion one night

haha yea man im tempted to take it now its in the garage but it aint locked :y:

you gota feel the scooter love
