I've been planning to post this build for some time now, but just got around to it.
It's a yamaha spy, similar to US zuma I think.
It used to belong to one of my friends, he crashed it nearly 6 years ago, and then left the country to search for work, leaving the scoot to rot.
Fast forward, after asking him every time when he comes on vacation about the scoot, this summer I finally bought it of him.
This is what it looked like on day 1
Forks and stem that came off it
Engine case had a crack near the exhaust mount
Vario missing and everything covered in oil
Bunch of spares
Gruesome, horrific. polini
Piston with one ring missing, and the other trapped in the groove
Cleaning up and removing paint
A lick o' paint
Welded and primed the cases
Got nice forks and stem from an aerox, decided to use the carbon coated ones on my scoot, and my forks on the booster
Rubber is new
Assembling
And finally how it looks now:
That's it for today,a few more wires need connecting, piston, intake valve and kickstarter are on the way.
Inner panels are painted and will be installed today, outer panels are being sanded and should be primed tonight or tomorrow.
Setup:
Polini sport 70
G.S.P. by Giannelli pipe
Mikuni vm16 karb
No name sport vario
Pod filter
