First off, hi I was doing the scooter thing a few years back but got into other projects and gave away my Chinese scoot to my nephew. I may be able to get my hands on a beat up jog. From what I can tell it’s an 88. Most of the plastics are gone. I talked the guy down to $150. It seems like it would be a decent deal as long as I’m not mistaken and it’s actually a razz. I’d like to kit it for more power. I’m not racing but a little more umph would be nice. Any suggestions for kit/gearing and pipe? I’m a bigger guy so more power is for getting through urban traffic better, not for wheelies and burnouts.

It sounds like a Naraku cylinder and a street pipe like the LeoVince SP3, Stage 6 street or the Tecnigas Silent-Pro would be just what you want. Not a lot more noise. But seriously upgrade the performance.

My apologies, I think it’s a prebug Zuma, it’s hard to tell. Those suggested upgrades should still work, from what I can see

An early Zuma would fly with those modifications. They are so light. It will make a great ride.

It’s in pretty bad shape but I’ve bought worse and got them running.

If it's cheap enough. And the engine isn't seized up. Might be worth a punt.

I talked to the guy, he has no idea what it is.
Any guesses from the experts?
From what I can see it’s a vertical engine. The variator cover says yamaha and the nose look like a prebug. But I could be wrong. He says it starts then dies. I’m not worried about getting it running, I’ve worked with worse.
The tires don’t look like a Zuma though, or at least stock Zuma tires. The bad paint job hints at “stolen” but it could have also just been a bad paint job by someone.
At any rate, I’m trading it for my frankenbike that is cool but impractical for city driving. Ill post a picture of that.

This is the bike I’m trading. I put a lot of time and money into it but if I can’t ride it on the city streets what’s the point? I had a lot of fun working on it so I got my money’s worth

[/IMG][/quote] The more I look at it, I think it’s a jog. I’m cool as long as it’s not a razz

it,s a jog it,s not a CG50 but close to it the chassis number should help I.D. it properly,its on the frame behind that oblong panel above where you put your feet. Knowing how many "gills on the front panel helps the CG50 has three openings and a longer " nose" than your model.Yell if you need help. Geoff My jog build thread Grandad jog has been shuffled to the front page of the builds threads.

From my research, it looks like a japan jog 2ja.

From my research, it looks like a japan jog 2ja. How did that end up in St. Louis?
