Two-stroke lover!
After 35.000 km my front suspension was worn out, i replaced it with a hydraulic version from EBR. The swap was easy, everything lined up perfectly. The ride quality is superb, and the price is lower than a original from Piaggio. The only hassle are all the plastic covers, they consumed most of my time.
This is what it looks like now.
Setup:
Stage6 Racing MK2 47,6 mm cylinder.
Stage6 21 mm PHBG carburettor.
Yasuni C16 exhaust.
S6 R/T ignition.
And alot of other tuning bits.
This is my daily driver, a modern and sporty scooter:
I got this Typhoon very cheap, perfect for my new tuned engine.
I took everything apart, checked all the bearings, shocks, brakes etc. And assembled everything again. Alot of the plastic panels where damaged, but i managed to fix it with a bith of kludging.
The red rims are from the donor Gilera Stalker.
I bought a used engine for this project, the newer Hi-Per 2 Pro version from a Gilera Stalker. The crank bearings where damaged, probably caused by a lack of oil. The hose that goes from the oil pump to the carburettor was squeezed under the cylinder, the only lubrication this engine got was on the outside.
At the time i rebuild the engine, i didn’t know what setup i wanted to run. So i used a stock crankshaft i had in spare, it’s doing a great job so far. I also did the blueprinting after the engine was assembled, but it turned out fine.
This is where it began:
I rebuilt the engine first:
More will follow soon.
This is my Puch MS 50, 3 speed from 1977. I’ve only done mechanical repairs and a complete engine overhaul. This is the bike i’ve used for our moped touring in 2012, it runs very reliable. Good low end torque for steep hills and gets a good gas milage.
