Grandad Jog (CG50) Rebirth

[geoffh]

As though my 2004 CS50 Jog (daily ride) isn.t enough work.I found these on flea bay and couldn,t resist two 1988 CG50 Jog for £100.I had no plan,no idea how to, but sometimes you just want something. It might be awhile posting photos my putin skills are rusty 
  so turns out the one at the front has 1700 miles on it and seemed do able

 the project front end

 there is a small panel missing from here,start of a world wide search

 in it,s glory Grandad the stylish sensation of 80s Britan

And then I sat and thought for a while,sure I had the bones but what to do with them.I decided to strip it right down the chassis to see if the frame would pass our MOT test and be a legal ride once again.
 panels off and labeled,a tad of dusting required,as it stands 28th April 20

Well we have moved on a little since then :)I will post some photo,s later(I need a little help)but we crossed a big hurdle today the V5 came back from Swansea (USA = title)so it,s MINE.
next I need to MOT and tax it before I can venture out.but if you put the tags from a legal commuter build on it :)hits 34mph in next to no time so I,ve been told

Cool now the work can start. 😁
Did you realise this scooter has never had an MOT since it was new?

[birdman]

I have a soft spot for the cg50. It was my first scooter. It taught me a lot.

[geoffh]

Yes I checked his history,there are only 1798 miles on the clock so I think it broke down and got parked up in a barn for 28 years,a white\red wire had broken and with that repaired it fired up .Birdman what kind of speed would you expect from a stock motor,has anyone seen this exhaust,I bought it on spec for £25reasoning that it must be better than stock.

The '88 jog i had would hit 70kph with a range of 65-70km per tank at WOT with 100km being possible if driven nicely

Has it got a restriction in the header pipe you can remove?
I don't recognise it. Looks just like a generic aftermarket replacement.

[geoffh]

No restriction in pipe,variator ring removed and air box reducer also gone,there is an 80 jet in at the moment the manual list,s an 82 so I will up jet and see what happens.

Maybe 40 stock. After I did a pipe, BBK, carb/ intake, and some cvt tuning, it pulled 53 mph but was a wheelie machine and got to 53 quickly. It needed taller gears, I could never find em.

[geoffh]

Thanks 40mph will do,I need a stealth pipe and a variator on Santa's list.

If it has the vertical AC engine, the stage 6 street is about the best performing stealth pipe.

Yes its a vert mina. All the prebug stuff fit (cylinders, intake, and pipes) the geometry of the prebug is different ie higher off the ground, so prebug pipes on a cg50 hang a little low but work great. The clutch and bell from a horizontal jog fit. The variator was the larger size jog drive bosd, there was 2 sizes 15mm and 18mm I think. Or maybe it was 18mm and 21mm I can't recall. Either way it's the larger one

Thanks, thought that was the case.
I have the vertical Minarelli engine in my slider, and the BWS. I have the old Aerox Malossi variator in it which fits fine. Even though it is not listed for it.

I have uploaded some pictures to an earlier post I decided to go for the 'surviver'look and may uprate the engine and CVT as and when I can afford it.as a UK spec it came with a chrome luggage rack with the rear lights on it,l found it ugly and deleted it.the lights you see now are discontinued Yamaha parts sourced from Philadelphia ,Greece and one from Coventry(UK).
