2008 Zuma-$250Craigslist Restoration

[swaltersjr]

Alright gang, here she is. I know spaz12, ams417 katastroff 
moofus02 iwiketuddlz niz76 i finally got it uploaded. LOL. Anyways as you can see guys, shes a little on rough side of looks. I did manage to hear it crank up and idle so i know she runs. Ignition is gone, airbox and seat latch cable. I have ordered those three things as of last night and they will be here Friday. I see alot of potential here and for 250, bucks i couldnt let it go by. It was super random and out of the blue. I had decided to call off the purchase of the 2010 and keep my 900 and throw a couple hundred into the TaoTao just  to play around. At any rate, i refreshed my browser and saw the post for it, it was there as of 10 minutes, called the kid, he delivered it in 15 haha. I verified with police department that it wasnt stolen (at least in NC, IDK about another state) and insurance company confirmed with the VIN it was a 2008. She will be getting the performance upgrades VERY soon. Gonna replace the rear tire first as it is almost bald. Plastics are a MUST cause this thing is an eye sore.

Partzilla has the plastics cheap. Just search different years until you find the colors you need. All the Zumas from 2002-2011 interchange. Glad you finally picked one up. Tires are like $30-$50 depending on what you want. I thought my 2004 was high mileage. Wow.

Man you lucky dog!!!! Very nice build scoot dude!!! Congrats!!!!!

Hell man a little bit of black primer spray and you are good to go. Glad this one came up, this is kind of perfect for what you wanted. It sounds like you wanted a project, and that is what you got, and at a good price. Did you keep your taotao as well?

You were going to pay 700 to 900 for one and you got one for 250, that leaves you a good 400 bucks to play with fixing it up. You can do a LOT to a scooter for 400 dollars.

Congrats and good luck.

Bike bandit has pretty good deals on tires and the shipping is fast.

Glad you got your hands on the 2T you've been wanting.

PFS has 10% off on tires with code "RUBBER15", but that ends today. The Kenda K761 would prob match up pretty well with stock Zuma tires. I also get tires from Motorcycle Superstore often and haven't had issues with their service.

Thanks guys, yes I did keep the TaoTao. Im gonna check out partzilla now. i pulled them up last night actually but fell asleep. Regarding the tire. Like i was planning on swapping a 13 on there, i like these wheels. but thats coming later.

Looks like I kinda like this Michelin Bopper tire. Read some reviews here and there and people really like it. majority says smoother and quieter. Have any of you ran it?

[swaltersjr]

So with Partzilla. im up to 316 for plastics. Im going to go back over it to make sure i didnt miss any pieces cause im sure i left something off

[moofus02]

the admin has run those. I've run the kenda k413 simular to the bopper. i realy like them. i think i gave 80 shipped for a pair off ebay

[swaltersjr]

Rught on, thanks moofus02

Pirelli SC26 is a good tire. Nice ride and handling.
