    Well I was doing some wheelies/went out on some rigs and well it's blown up. Spraying fuel and oil out of the bottom of my cases and no compression FUN! Will be stripping it to a bare frame, Polishing some bits up and most of all. Converting to Lc going for a proper sleeper. aiming to keep up with terro's vespa so watch out ;). Time for lots of power. Will post a few wheelie/speed videos in a while.

    Well I said I would get some pics so here they are,

    Here is a pic of my zip before it had any porting, This is just tt and polini sport
    no porting,flowing,TT.jpg

    Here it is with the porting

    flowing,yasuni-r,ported,3.jpg

    Well all was well and great then the pile of shit blew up due to a dodgy oil seal and a leak in the cases, I was going to have to change the cases anyway due to it having a giant crack in the case vvvvvvvv
    fucked cases.jpg

    Well the bike has run out of m.o.t so I've decided to rebuild every last bit of it, Better than factory, Going for a ported Mk2 racing kit should be 20bhp when i'm good and done, I've started by painting the frame and new cases while starting to flow them here is my progress so far.

    Here's the cases painted and my work so far on the flowing, Ignore the overspray that will soon be gone.

    More to come soon!!

    Rally 50 you get me
    did you raise the exhaust port at all when you ported the cylinder or did you just open up the manifold?

    Nah just took the restriction out the port. I'd do a 125/172 but I only want to do a typh they're really expensive now. I got my zip for £100 lol.

    So did it just lean out?

    It's a shame, but I guess it's a good thing that it's gonna be all done nicely. Gonna feel nice to ride a properly sorted Ped

    Well road to pedparts and it heat seized on the way there. They ran up and said it was lean top end, Changed jet it was fine for a while, Then did it twice in a short period of time. so stripped it down, blowing through the crank cases and the oil seal stator side was fuckeddddddddddddddddd.

    Not good o_O

    My aerox is lean I think, bogs out with the throttle all the way open, just like a lean main jet but the jet was fine before.

    I did the transmission side me last night, I don't have a fucking flywheel puller
