Birdman's Yamaha "Zog"

[birdman]

So now I am happy with my 1990 Yamaha Jog CG50.. The main problem is I cant find a/m gears to get my speeds to the next level, so Im callin this one done at  mid 50's and mad wheelies. Now I shall move on to the Elite and build that for 70+mph, wheelis will be optional on the Yeelite. Anyway heres my mid-50 wheelie machine

I was going to do cosmetic mods now like a CW50 Zuma speedometer, paint the rims, source the missing panels, and replace the headlight w/ a blown low beam, and a fancy kickstart lever... But I realized to make this thing a show stopper is more work than it's worth, so it shall stay as a ratty, loud, hooligan, wheelie prone, "party-starting" Jog... I mean did you see my zip-tie "stitches" holding the legshield on?? How about the "lazy-eye" to keep my hi beam from making everyone mad?? So yea... Cosmetics... Forget it, this wheelie bike is prone to continuous dropping anyway #stuntlife
Thanks for looking at my first ever scooter project, on to scoot 2 The Elite AF16 build..

Your "ratty" scooter looks better than all of mine. lol Very nice!

[birdman]

Thanks 90! Spray cans, stickers and bondo go a long way lol

[micka80]

Yeah, that looks like fun, nice job. I would love to have a jog, they are so zippy and feel wheelie worthy almost at stock. Lookin forward to your elite build so I can get some ideas for myself.

Nice ride birdman! It really looks like a ride that was built to ride. Not a ride built to have its picture taken and sit in some display.

You gotta post some wheelie vids like niz76.
Are those PA's on the floor board or some super loud horn?

[oldgeek]

Very nice!

Not bad Dude

[birdman]

Thanks for the kind remarks. Clank that is my sound system on the floorboard, this thing doubles as my garage ghetto blaster and its great for summer afternoon at the beach with the girls drinkn smokin n dancin. It uses a mini amplifier and plugs into an mp3 player
I have been contemplating a go pro and welder when i get my grubby mits on my uncle sam refund. For wheelie vids and a welder because no man should be without one.. Thinkning about making a 12 o clock bar and some foot pegs for this thing and make it my full blown stunt scoot

Nice scoot man! I like the zip tie stitches. Might have to use that on mine.

[niz76]

I see the big fat aftermarket intake w/reeds to go along with that big 24mm carb!

Nice scoot man! The jog is my favorite scoot ever/ or maybe the elite..haha I love both but only own one. I like the squared front headlight assembly. I bought a new one for my jog thinking it was the old style like yours and it was not i would be scAred to drop it on the pipe after failed wheelie. Looks great man!

[birdman]

So. I just pulled the trigger on an old CW50 Zuma version of this vertical minarelli, so now the sky will be the limit with the jog... Im now just having trouble deciding if I should swap all my stuff over to the new CW50 block or should i clean up and reuse that Airsal T6 kit I had and do a build with that on the CW.. hmm decisions.. Also did I mention I also got that CW50 speedometer I been eyeballing as part of the deal too!! Guess the Jog is not done after all!!!

[Clank]

And most likely never will be done brother. Feed the addiction.

P.S. wheelie vids

P.P.S. Does cornering to the point that you lose traction and slide it out win a chicken strip dinner? If so....

[birdman]

So I tried cleaning the Airsal cylinder up, the one I previously had a piston seizure on, and its still a little too rough to use... So I guess I will just swap over my current set-up to the CW50 block, with the addition of taller gears, switching to an 18mm vari from the 21 my current vert uses, and I will see about using this Polini Clutch and bell I used to have on my Jog.
P.S. Coming soon
P.P.S. No it doesnt Clank sorry. Is falling down short of the goal line going to win you championships?? The answer is no.

[Clank]

Ok I'll post the next two vids after the tires warmed up. The first run they were cold so down I went. But even using craisin's method of risingthe center stand and still hook up leaning hard.

P.S. is soon up now?
