project NRG 50cc LC....

Ive kind of just got myself a free 2005 Piaggio NRG 50cc 2 stroke, picking it up tomorrow and this is going to be super low budget build, my aim is to get it running and to be reliable to take to college, it hasnt been run for 2 years since it was dropped by the owners friend at drinking party when it was took for a joyride lol but im not bothered abut what it looks like until its running and passed mot...

As its liquid cooled on monday im going to attempt to start it e.g. charge battery, fresh fuel, flush coolant and rad, turn it over by kick start few times, then see if it runs wish me luck.....

 

woooo free is always good lol

 

yeh

 

just to clarify its actually air cooled heres some pics from my 7 mile walk/collection

 

fooook me them tyers are balled lol does it run then bud?

 

apparently and yeh i know bout the tyres

 

do i need a front mud gaurd for mot

 

great turn around mate well done looks tidy!!

 

Cheers pal + You will fail MOT if you haven't got a mudguard

 

doh

 

might get these and custom mount them and put mesh in the original holes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pc-Oval...cycle_Parts&hash=item41543187b3#ht_4582wt_895

 

universal indicators brought for £1.95 awesome so the total spend atm is £1.95

 

ugly motherfucking indicators lol btw to check if it is LC or AC check at the front panel where the black thingy is, if you see a rad behind there then its LC

 

i think its air cooled coz theres no cap like there is on this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Piaggio-N..._Motorcycles&hash=item256c8fbc1a#ht_500wt_949

 

this has alot of potential dude and for free you cant complain but you can tell it needs abit of work

jonny i thought its 75% or is it different for bikes?

 

yeh needs a front mudguard and yes im not really tuning it coz its fast enough just getting it road worth and modernise it a bit e.g. hidden front indicators and led side lights in lights and behind grill cant get the spark plug out though drained oil and put some in to start it going to get battery terminals, de-ionised water for battery, wd40 and fuel in a minute to hope fully start it

 

oh and about the front tyre ill get one with a wheel on ebay but in no rush that will be the last thing to do tbh

 

oh and i noticed that the cvt cover has crack so im not touching it lol
