Got my 40 slider in the mail today. Hopefully I will be able to finish my front plastic and install the carb parts. Corrosion I am counting on your setup recommendation! Too bad I won't be able to test drive it though, rain announced for the weekend. Next Carb setup will be: Carb: Dellorto PHBG 19mm Needle W7 (2nd from top) Slide #40 Pilot Jet #40 (snorkel out, no additional vents in airbox) Main Jet #90 Atomizer AU262 AU Bushing Mixture Screw 1 3/4 out.

Installed the carb parts today unfortunately the weather forecast was accurate and it is raining cats&dogs today and probably tomorrow. So no test driving for now. It idles good though and throttle response seems to be OK. Will know more once I go for a drive. Regarding my plastic paint here more Info on that situation. Now something else, is there anyone out there that has installed an after market carb into a Zuma that originally had a 2 throttle wire carb system? The reason I ask is, I had this 2 wire system and I just took the wires away and replaced them with one wire. Now the throttle unit at the handle can be turned either from up to down, which is normal, or down to up. So I can accelerate both ways and the upper way is short and dangerous if you are not used to it. So how do you guys do that? Did you just replace the throttle unit with an after market one? Or did you find another solution?

Tsimi, the Zuma's must have a stop built into them because I've switched over three of them to single cable and didn't encounter the problem you are having. I can pull one apart later and take pictures if want?

Today I had the chance to go for a test drive with the new carb setup and man she drives nice. The rich sputtering at low range is gone and she accelerates smooth. Max speed was again 63km/h and max rpm was 8200-8400 so same as with the previous setting only that now the low range is running smooth. I kinda feel that it takes bit too long to reach top speed but that could be the CVT setup which I will tune next. Corrosion is a genius! His recommended setup was spot on I only adjusted the idle screw and that's it. Still the mixture screw setting is still not working as it should but hey who cares as long it runs good I leave it for now. I could try a lower PJ from #40 to #38 or even #37 but that I will do at a later time. Something else happened today. The woman which hit my front plastic few days ago called me and said she would like to come by my place. I thought she wants to apologize again so I said yes sure. So she comes with the car and she opens her trunk and takes out a huge box. She said, "please take this as an apology and sorry but they didn't had them in red." I was like what didn't they had in red? When I opened the box... a complete set of new fairings/plastics for my Jog was inside! Blue metallic! I told her this was too much and it was not necessary since I fixed the part already. But she insisted and she said she wouldn't feel alright if I wouldn't take it. So here we are, a box with a complete set of new plastics.

That's awesome that she did that! I love that metallic blue too. Maybe not as much as your red, but the blue is nice.

They look nice and are better painted than my red parts. Before I painted my scooter red I wanted to go with blue metallic but when they gave me the red helmet the decision was made. Now I have a spare set of parts so I might as well go with the Polini blue flair. Those are not oem Yamaha fairings they are from a different maker. Something like you guys have there from STR8 for Zumas. They offer those fairings in blue metallic, black and white. I think the price for the set is around $160.

OMG Tsimi! That is incredible. I'm impressed that the lady sourced the correct panels for your scoot and even more impressed that she had the personal integrity to do that. You must have made quite an impression! So awesome but damn your scoot looks sooo good in red.

Thanks spaz12, mail received. niz76Imagine how stunned I was that she got the right panels. The day she hit me she only took a picture with her phone and I told her that this is a Yamaha Jog. She probably asked a bike shop for more details or in her family there is someone that knows about scooters. Also lucky that we exchanged phone numbers and addresses just in case. For me this all came very unexpected I never thought she would do that. I am now very tempted to swap the new panels on and change my red Jog theme into blue. Meaning new blue grips, new blue bar ends and probably a new blue helmet. lol

Yes, the throttle unit looks different on the inside then mine. I will take some pics today and post them later so you can have a look.
