Yama Goped Project

found these pipes for 67 plus shipping. as addy put it, " obscene" lol. but will allow me to fine tune it ( plus allow better acceleration/speed( now the fun part. savin up the cabbage lol.  )

Glad to hear you got the parts to get her running again.

I hear ya on price of pipes! Good quality expansion chambers aren't easy or cheap to come by. I paid $200 for the weakends race exhaust on my garelli, only paid $120 for the complete moped haha Speed ain't cheap!

+1 karma for never giving up, and always having updates/photos for us to drool over!! Can't wait to hear that beast rev out again

You need to switch that air intake to the front.  Make a 'ram-air'

[yamahonkawazuki]

Got the battlepig running again. the used wheel, choke lever arrived from costa mesa, the starter and piston stopper arrived from draper UT. that piston stopper sped the whole assy process up considerably. did a slight burnout test lol. Once i round up the next head of cabbage, ordering a road tire for the front, and an exhaust. and a tube. ( just in case) cause i will do a burnout on the old tire.
( the piston stopper)

todays thrash session began with this

then some red loctite
Then i attached washer, and flywheel nut, then starter engagement part shown here

followed by the starter itself

the white thingie/disc on top of the carburetor is $5 i didnt need to spend. ( starter engagement disc) new starter came with one. and its price its not worth the hassle and expense of sending back. 3 things on list now. 1 a pipe, 2 a tire, and 3 some 25h chain

cool!! .. 

but that starter engagement disc .. the $5 you didn't need to spend... pffffft .. thats called a SPARE matey!!!

yup. its getting stashed. aka why spend $2 to send it back to idaho to get $5 in return. that wouldnt even cover a gallon of 93 octane.

[yamahonkawazuki]

some of this stuff. is hte main thing. going to give her hell tomorrow after work. may jump it may not. not sure yet.

[yamahonkawazuki]

cant wait til i get my hands on an expansion chamber. if yall can find one ( even a chinese one) i can modify it. IF it can run on  a 42cc engine. stock its 4.2hp @ 18k. its ratio has been changed from 6/98 to 7/98 so i get some higher speed, but less takeoff. although theres pelnty of takeoff, i want to be able to emphasize its takeoff and keep its speed gains. theres 3 gauges of clutch springs available to the gp420 the "clutch saver springs" which allow opening @ lower speeds to save clutch wear aka harsh opening, the yellow springs which i have open @ 6500 rpm, and the red race springs which i recall open @ nearly 9500 aka very harsh but damned strong

Get all sorts of lookers, ( but ive got the walmart mentality aka chinese scooters) 3 gopeds in this town, ive owned 2 of them i bsed someone the other day, told them 575 they could have it. ( not selling ever) this is hte only trail ripper in east tn. need to round up the 67 to get the pipe and maybe 40 to get the street tires, and shes good to go. then ill film and youtube a tire roast. to kill the dying rear tire

[yamahonkawazuki]

Plans for the near dead rear tire on the gtr. ( once i get my hands on some new rubber)
and yes it will be youtubed

[yamahonkawazuki]

God carb dialed in perfectly today. had to pawn camera to cover dentist. so will be first of week before vids resume. but planning on next ride. yarnell to lee intersection, left on yarnell, to east wolf valley, take right, 4 miles to clinton highway, take right onto chw, then back into clinton proper. then back onto yarnell & home. about 8 miles give or take a few hundred feet. cant wait to get pipe. shes got some pull now.

want to get my hands on a gps so i can find out exactly how fast she'll go.

[yamahonkawazuki]

Need some eyes please. what im looking for is an expansion chamber to fit a 40-50cc engine. ( mine is 42cc) also looking for 3x4" tires or 3.5x4" http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018U0AAG/ref=asc_df_B0018U0AAG2425988?tag=thefind0275973-20&creative=395261&creativeASIN=B0018U0AAG&linkCode=asn although 25 for tire and tube is pretty good. so i dont think i can find that any cheaper. moving on, final wanna find cheap is 25H chain. preferrably in a 10' length. lemme know what yall find out there. soon as i get the new tires on hand, am doing a burnout on the old back tire. and keeping the front for either a drive or a spare. or just may put the front knobbie on the rear, and use a street tire on front. for better steering.

[yamahonkawazuki]

Heres the plan of attack. the red route is my latest trip. ( and prolly normal one) the blue one is the next one ill tape. twice. first one is using hte old tires ive got on the pig now. then again as soon as i can afford to replace them. going to time em both. a significant part of this route will be on a state highway. ( 25w aka clinch ave) there is a bar there, i COULD stop in for refreshments. but i refuse to drink and ride.

Hooly Dooly ... thats a good size loop!... you need a camelbak fuel tank for that or what?
