I thought I should get build threads for my Tritons started in here so I can make updates in the future. Let me start by getting this thread up to speed with a little history...
Motomech from ScootDawg pointed out a Vento Triton to me on eBay. It was listed with a damaged engine and in kinda rough shape. I bid and won it for $62.09 and picked it up in a truck to avoid shipping charges.
Here's what it looked like when I got it home.
I started working on it almost immediately. It needed a lot of parts and work.
I removed the oil injection junk and went to check the motor out. I discovered that not only is the engine mostly in working order, but I had found a 90cc Mexican version of the Triton. The exhaust studs were ripped out of the cylinder though. I replaced the stock cylinder with another 52mm cylinder. Once the fuel system was installed it ran.
I modded the stock exhaust, modded the cooling fan housing, repaired/replaced all the broken parts, ditched the alarm, removed the fender and relocated the turn signals, installed Michelin Pilot Sport tires, and some other things and it was ready to ride.
Of course I couldn't just leave it at that. I made a reed spacer, ported the stock intake, milled the cylinder, added an MRP tuned pipe, aftermarket coil, 4g rollers, lightened clutch with 2000RPM springs, 1000RPM torque spring, and vented the CVT cover a little.
I added an Arreche 19mm carb and high compression squish band head not long after that video.
The mods kept flowing. I later moved up to a 54mm cylinder, DellOrto 25mm carburetor, Malossi reeds, and Polini intake. Here's a quick video just after installing the carburetor with it still out of tune.
I added a Leo Vince ZX 100cc pipe.
Next I decided to take on some minor frame mods. I made a frame brace and modified the stock engine mount to be solid, then welded the solid mount into the frame for overkill.
I used the stock handlebars to do a cheap MX style conversion while adding an aluminum throttle assembly.
I replaced the stock tail/brake light with an LED assembly and added LED front turn signals and and aftermarket rear view mirror, and then tinted the turn signals.
Auto Meter fuel level gauge.
Combustion chamber enlarged to 11.2cc to relieve detonation.
Performance variator.
Clutch cooling vents.
Added a Sigma bicycle speedometer.
After modifying an engine mount to be solid, and rattling most of my plastics to death as well as snapping the engine mount eventually, I made a few changes in T2's layout.
Homemade boost bottle.
De-restricted my Leo Vince pipe.
Modded the exhaust port slightly.
Stage 6 clutch bell and MRP clutch.
Filed the variator for more belt travel.
Modded the torque driver for more belt travel.
After a crash that bent the handlebars (amongst other things) I added a TNT bar adapter and TNT downhill bars.
That's where it stands as of now. Waiting on snow to clear out so I can start riding again.
