NEW ZIP 01 PROJECT

Bought a 01 piaggio zip 50 of ebay for £200. Everything is standard but i think its got a vespa exhaust.

PLANS:

Stage 6 70cc kit
Straight manifold [Got]
Leo vince tt or laser x pro exhaust [Wanted]
Stage6 Double Layer Racing Air filter
Unlimited CDI [Got]
Clean engine and polish tranny and forks
Spray panels in matt black
Maybe get a new back pannel
Side stand
Jack up

I can run a standard carb and crank on that cant i?









Does anyone know how i get them bolts off on the manifold?




Does anyone know how i get them bolts off on the manifold????

 

yes you unscrew them cratch:














if you meen your cant because there hex screws then you have to buy the hex bit that fits

 

yh they look like the alan key bolts but its got a bit in the centre (so obv the alan key wudnt fit) i jus need to know whats the name of the tool so i can get it off

cheers

 

i torx keys :thumbsup:

 

you know you want some sp forks for that :mrgreen:

if you wanna be bodge you can hammer a flathead into it and unscrew it

 

ok cheers rideorcolide i will give it a try lol

 

the fittings are security torx. You can get the proper tool as part of a set from places like screwfix or machine mart...around a fiver for the set

also, waste of time running a std carb with all the mods...If you arn't getting the fuel in fast enough all the other mods will be pointless

 

ok so do you guys recommend a 21 mil carb then?

 

Yeah deffo dunno about others doe ?

 

20.5? get a standard runner carb, can pick one up cheap usually and just get a 125 inlet , i found it a bitch to set up though tbh...

 

Pans got sanded, primed and sprayed in matt black today. (will add pics later)
going on holiday for a bit so i will put the stage 6 kit when im back and show what ive done.

ive noticed that the bike runs fine on the first ride but gradually the acceleration gets a bit poorer and it seems like its loosing power nd bogs a bit.

anyone have a solution?? do u rekon rollers and clutch springs need changin?

 

ok cheers
will give all that a go

 

Back now, and the sanding, priming and painting has been done.
grey primer and matt black used, i might add another coat of matt black and spray over in clear laquer.

Heres what it looks like.


TOOK THE FRONT MUDGAURD OFF









I am going to polish my case this week.

 

why did you just spray over damaged pans?

should have filled/fibre-glassed them first woulda looka a whole heap better??

anyway i love matt black so good choice of colour :mrgreen:

 

^^^ indeed cratch:
