Scootermatix Race Bike 2 - Garry Atkinson

We will also upload info on our second bike that is due for a lengthy overhaul

 

Here is bike No. 2

 

Hi, Garry Atkinson here....

1996 Zip SP

Malossi MHR Brake pads and linings
Venhill Brake hose
Malossi RS24 Suspension
Schwalbe Paceman tires
Malossi DERC Tacho and logger

Lights, stand etc removed.

Malossi MHR 70cc 7 port cylinder kit c2002
Malossi Team MHR Crank / 85mm Rod
Malossi Derc Ignition
Malossi MHR Team Exhaust
Malossi over range kit 105% spring 2.9g rollers
Dellorto 26mm carb
Malossi MHR reed cage and block

THe bike is quite old in fact I think the newest thing is the cylinder at c2002 which really needs updating, however we have had minimal time to get it sorted and up to spec for this season.

I am hoping to use some Stage 6 components on the rebuild instead of Malossi which IMHO are very expensive for what they are, such as team crank £650!

Thanks

 

Garry, I think these guys are gonna build you up then rip your machine aparts. They are tough as hell on here....but they know their stuff!!

 

If anyone wants to rip the machine apart can they put it back together os its faster? :tup:

 

I think I've lead you in now Gaz, enjoy the forum.

 

sounds like a monster of an engine mate. how did you get into scoot racing? minimotoing??

 

No mate, I went in at the deep end, I purchased a race Zip SP and turned up at Mallory park on the 27th March for practice!

I've never raced a bike before in my life so to go into this was / is quite scary!

 

The bike had been stood for 5yrs so it needed refreshing, we have not had time to alter much but we will be doing as the game has moved on in that time and we need to keep up.

 

didnt even no they raced them in the uk tbh. loks like a good sport to get into tho, love my 70s

 

x2 on that.

 

:mrgreen: :cheers:

 

There will be some pics coming but first of all we will get the old girl dyno'd and see what it can do, I'll get a video of that put onto YouTube for anyone who wants to see, no-one knows what the engine is like inside, it may well be a right mess and I will end up getting some new crankcases and starting afresh.

Fingers crossed I don't, this is not a cheap game.

 

It was built by Ian and Terry (rip) Frankland of Taffspeed fame, sadly after Terry passed away the bike was stood and never ran until I offered to purchase it. I have no information on the engine really except for what I can see externally so I have no idea of internal mods, porting etc...

 

That'll explain it then

I was reading about Terry frankland in an old Twist and go mag, a good while ago...

was an article about him and his tuning, before he died, RIP.

 

110% agree on the downhill part. I got my fingers burnt buying this bike and I will not be having anymore to do with them ever again. Sad, but thats how it is.

I am not prepared to discuss any further on a public forum.
