my first ever scooter build. cagiva mito 125 engine

[tonydevon]

Well I just cant stop fiddling lol.
Went back to the fuel pump setup and pretty confident its now sorted. Fitted an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. 1.5psi seems to be just fine and so far its all good.
V5 still not back from dvla. But ive decided that instead of letting it go silly cheap i will stick to my guns and in the event of no interest i will try and raise cash to either change motor or have my motor tuned and get exhaust professionally made as im very certain thats what is killing the power. Quoted about 400 to have pipe built.

Keep it and tune it! Great thread!

Never got around to saying what a fantastic job you made of that Tony. I think it's the most "right" looking motorcycle conversion I've seen. All the proportions, ride height etc look so Lambretta, it's great!

For a bloke of your capabilities the actual manufacture should be a PoP. There are books and www designs for 2t exhausts. Basic materials aren't too expensive, so why not give it a go?
http://www.dragonfly75.com/motorbike/ECdesign.html was the first one I looked at, and the next site said it was the best out there. SoYnot?
Looking forward to the !!!! results.


Quite near you, http://www.axminster.co.uk/305mm-sheet-metal-worker will make it easier.

Thanks guys. I only have mig welding gear and its hard work with thin sheet lol.

I appear to have accidently purchased a ktm450 oooops lol

4 stroke. Leccy start. Hooooge bags of torque.

my gasgas 450 4 stroke is fun tony just make sure you make a really beefy swingarm and put a cush drive on your rear sprocket

[tonydevon]

I sold the ktm450 decidedit wasnt right for my needs

[gerryjunior]

it sounds great, is it kick or electric start..

[tonydevon]

Electric start only. Typical that today it started sticking

Tapped it and it went. Need to look at that. Its on ebay and just had a great offer on it. Need to sort before i accept

[tonydevon]

Well its been a long fun journey.
Anyone that read this thread might remember that I started this build after chats and drinks with my mate Vic Saunders. We wandered around the woolacombe custom show at his last rally bouncing ideas and generally having a laugh. I said how i would love to build something worthy of parking in a show.
This weekend i parked in the show area and hope that I did him proud. Had some great comments from people. Overheard chat a out it from people that didnt know it was mine.
Lesson learnt is that its not big enough engine.
I have some ideas bouncing round my head for a rather mental series 2 with loads of custom car and bike influences.
