Purchased for £200 some time ago, haven't got round to stripping it down till now. I'll let the pics do the talking:  After a few body panels were removed. I don't usually take things apart in the cellar, but I couldn't be arsed to push it through the rain to the workshop :rofl:  Some rather sad looking panels   Spot the free pair of scissors   Somethings missing here   One engine. The cases are actually in mint condition, nothing snapped or missing.  Don't like the look of that   Bore isn't too bad though (it's a Malossi sport). The exhaust port's definitely been tampered with, apparently Minor ported it. It's in the sink having a bath now, I'll post some timings when I get a chance to measure it.  Tasty! |

There's a lot of stuff packed in a small area up front where the gas tank is. I guess that's a coolant reservoir up above the fuel tank? If you take the front off, can you show us more of the radiator setup? I never get to mess with LC stuff, so it's cool to see.

You've got fluid containers everywhere on those things. That's cool that you get a reserve tank stock.

Does leave more to go wrong though!
The current plan is a mild high end sport setup, perhaps a S6 streetrace. It'll probably end up being my brothers scoot, so I'm not going too over the top.

a mild high end sport setup   Haven't you heard that phrase before Brent? Basically, it'll be a 11k sport setup, not quite a mid-race. |

Sorry, I'm horrible with detailed terminology to classify anything. I first discovered this when I tried to figure out what kind of music I like. As I learned with music, I like metal. I can't figure out what's what otherwise.  For scooters, well, I like the fast ones. I tend to think of all that as different stuff. Mild or sport kinda meld together, but high end is way off of those other ideas. I get it, but it just sounds weird together to me. I dunno, all my stuff is cast iron (sport) and junk to all the good tuners so I don't worry about it too much. lol Maybe all cylinders should just have like a star rating scale or something. Or stages, like all the ricer tuners liked to talk about when the first Fast And Furious hit theaters many years ago? Stock being Stage 1, Riddiculous being Stage 10. ;D |
