Kyle's 2008 Zuma build

[kyledude]

This was a pic when I first bought off my buddy was not running due to vacuum line being disconnected.
I did respray the plastic to bring the black back to life

Top speed 35 MPH!!



I modified the rear turn signals and license plate light (license light was already broken off and not function from previous owner)
 I reused the existing bulbs just cut off the metal flashing around the bulb and used drill bit slightly smaller then the back of the bulb so it would be a tight fit/also cut and rewired for turn signals.
For the license plate light I  went to my local auto store and found these led lights for motorcycles and wired them up.

                




List of the parts that I bought and in order in which I installed them

• Athenna 70cc big bore kit (Amazon)
• Dellorto 17.5 carb/ electric choke(drowsports)
• Malossi "multivar" Variator Minarelli Kit (scooterswapshop)
• Yasuni R exhaust (scooterswapshop)
• MICHELIN Bopper tires (Amazon)
• NCY clutch springs 1500 (scooterswapshop)
• Motoforce shock 280mm (scooterswapshop)

Installing the BBK and Carb I was pushing on average around 45 Mph which I was happy with for around town. 
but I have recently moved and live a little farther from town then before and some roads are 50 Mph. I hated the feeling of either holding everyone up/ the feeling someone was going to run me over.


After a lot of help from people on this forum I bought the Variator and exhaust. I installed both at the same time and was literally blown away on the difference that it made.    My top speed as been 62 Mph!! that is tucked in but still gnarly!
but on average I'm around 55-58 depending on the weather.
 
The tires made a big difference also especially when cruising at those speeds and I believe gave another 1-2 Mph. 

Replaced the rear shock because the other one blew my back out lol, only had it for a few weeks now but I like it.

Last added some Led strips I found on sale at the auto stored and hardwired them to the battery so they could be left on without having the key in them.


 

only problem I'm having is if I let off the throttle and drop speed then go back to WOT its very slow to pick speed back up


ps I know this is a brief description of everything iv done but if anyone was questions feel free to message me.

Nice looking work .
Those leds have to look so cool at night .

As far as good take off when you let off the throttle .
cvt or carb
Contra spring if you have the white contra installed with your malossi variator that usually provides enough down shifting .
The yelllow would down shift to lower gear faster .

Weights also need to be light enough to be real revvy with that cylinder and pipe combo .
5 grams to 6 grams work ok but 5.5 grams works best for me .

Carb
Is it revvy through the Throttle range or is there a stall or bog when you come off the throttle .
It might just be a needle setting .

Made some nice upgrades.
Good quality tires can really improve the confidence when it comes to handling.

Changing out the weight yesterday and these guys fell out where do they go? Somewhere behind the electric start

[aeroxbud]

That's from the starting clutch. The thing with three big screw heads on. Make sure you have all three weights and springs.

Number 5

here is how they go together spring the tube then the metal roller .
If you want this could be the excuse to drop the electric start .
You just need to shim out for losing the clutch .
You end up with less weight on crankshaft and spin up a little faster .

[pinkscoot]

putting a starter clutch back together is not for just anyone. Patience and very small hands are all that's required.
