Saving a Vino from the brink of death

[Jordan D]

I picked up a diamond in the rough, 2002 Vino with 13,xxx miles for cheap. The wrist pin popped out and ruined the cylinder and piston so its going to get a rebuild. The bearing on the input shaft of the transmission is bad and the shaft is wobbling around so that is going to get replaced. The kick start shaft is also broken if anyone has a spare let me know, I am ready to buy. A few misc body panels and hoses are missing but for $200 I couldnt pass it up.















I plan on installing a 70cc kit, Polini HiSpeed variator, possibly looking into gearing, Keisler stretch 3.50 rear tire, NPS50 rear shock with a 2 inch riser (for the stretch fitment.)

I also have a scrappy dog scooters exhaust that came with it, does anyone know how good these are? I dont have any experience with that brand.

Thanks for looking!

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I hope you got more parts for it than are shown in the pictures, otherwise you gonna need a lot of $ to get that thing rideable again.

I have a Vino, they are small, light, quick and can be lots of fun. It should have the factory trenched cases so that is a plus. I bought another Vino at night one time in the similar shape as yours is in, taught me a lesson...NEVER buy a scooter in the dark!LoL!

You mentioned the trans was questionable, do yourself a favor and sort that issue out first to ensure that it can be fixed. Sometimes if they have been run low or no gear oil the case is damaged, ask me how I know. Also I see CVT cover has bolts broken off around kickstart, that will be a problem if you do not have them all in place.

If you decide to go forward, I have the kickstart piece you need and possibly some other stuff. Make a list and I will see what I can find.

The transmission case will be a problem for sure. Only 5 holes do not have broken bolts. I have a handful of other parts everything to make it run but they arent all pictured. Thankfully this is my 3rd Vino so I also have misc parts from the other 2 laying around. I pulled the input shaft and the gears are in great shape the problem I discovered was the bearing and for $10 that is easily fixed. I knew the seller of this bike and the condition it was in before hand so I knowingly got myself into a long term project. The only part I dont have is the rear panel (side panel 1, if youre looking on a dealer diagram) so I think I will leave the bike naked in the back and run some LEDs for the indicators and brakes.


Do you have experience with scrappy dog exhaust by chance?

[oldgeek]

Sounds like you know what you are up against, this will be a cool project to watch. I may have a few body parts you can use.

I have not used one of the Scrappy pipes so I am no help there.

Some parts arrived. I got a Naraku 70cc cylinder, piston, head an supporting parts from scootertuning.ca. I also installed a Polini HiSpeed with 5g rollers. I am planning on getting some heavier sliders in the future but this is a slow build   

I have a new exhaust gasket coming and exhaust from ScrappyDogScooters to install, along with the blue Polini clutch spring and Gates belt.

UPDATE:

It's been a while for those still around thanks for checking in! I've acquired yet ANOTHER 2t vino for super cheap this one is silver and blue and the plastics are in pretty ok condition.

This new bike did not come with a title I have a bill of sale. My intention is to flip it. It is totally stock and has low miles. This is where things get complicated. At this point I have 3 of these bikes. My original, the black one that this thread is about and the blue and silver I just got. The forks on the black bike are totally screwed. The tire is well worn and its clear that the springs or fork frame is broken.

Here you can see how messed up the front end is.

I have a title for this bike which means everything in VA. No one will by with a Bill of Sale. So I ended up taking the good forks from the new blue and silver bike and the stock engine, carb and airbox and swapping it to this bike that has the title. I figured if I was going to sell one, I would make sure it was squared away and I could work on the build slowly which is the intention anyway. It was great to learn how to do, I've never swapped forks before. From this point on, the black bike is now up for sale 100% stock and the build will continue with the blue and silver bike. ALL MODS are swapped over to the new blue and silver frame. Henceforth will be known as The Bastard since it has parts from about 6 different bikes on it now.






Here's the frame of the bastard waiting for the new forks to come in to mount the controls.










New parts arriving slowly. Not included in the pics are new bulbs for the speedo and new 5BM intake (the other one leaked like crazy)











Forks mounted and they're straight! I cant seat the bead on my tires dont have access to an air compressor, but I am taking these wheels and some ruckus wheels with new tires to get aired up this weekend. I am waiting for a new speedometer gear to come in and the controls will all be 100% functional. If you see a Leo Vince exhaust in the pics it is for sale! A post will be going up shortly.

Since I am keeping this bike, I am not so much concerned about the broken rear plastics even though it looks bad. They're expensive and it doesnt bother me too bad.

Anyway, the bastard starts and idles great with the 70 kit I havent been able to test it yet due to the fork issue on the frame the engine was currently on, so the variator and belt are still basically new. I dont know how fast it is or what but soon, soon.

Your Vino's are coming along nice! Someone needs to do a LC on one of these Vinos.

On a side note, here's some pics of us relocating the fleet and everyone strapped into the truck
