Triton R4

Been about four years since I’ve posted anything. But I’m back at it again. Bought this for $100 dollars. Only has barely 1200 miles on it. Needs a new top end and carb. The bike was a disaster when I picked it up. Brought it home and stripped it down to the frame and cleaned and degreased everything. Took off the bad cylinder and carb. Cleaned the little bit of surface rust from the frame and repainted it along with the cases and wheels. The plastics are in great shape besides a few light scratches. But I will be repainting it anyway. Put the new top end on today and waiting for the new carburetor tomorrow. Going to be riding it stock for a while and then start tuning it.

It wasn’t this clean when I picked it up 😆 I washed and waxed the plastics.

Finally took the scooter out for a test ride today. The weather here has been rainy. Not very fast at all. Top speed on flat 28-30 mph. Going up hills 20-23 mph. The rpm’s stay high, but the bike is going slow. Feels like the belt is slipping??? Got back home and measured the belt width and it was 14.8mm. And a ton of belt dust inside the casing. Took clutch apart and it looks great. The scooter barely had 1200 miles on it. So was concerned why the belt would be worn down so much? Any ideas?? And I can’t remember what the stock belt size is? I thought it was 788-17-28? If anyone knows the belt size please let me know so I can order a new one.

Is it possible to add a an autometer fuel gauge to my scooter? And it read accurate?

Depends, does it have a sending unit/sensor? If so, can you integrate it into the existing fuel tank? Either by replacing the oem one, or by macgyvering it?
