HUGE Power Upgrades on my DREAM SCOOTER

People like the guy that was messaging u step by step are the reasons i love the car/motorcycle/scooter community. Ive literally fixed my broken down cars based off ppls comments and being told where to look. Most of the time with vehicles jts knowing where to look for an issue and knowing how to disassemble/reassemble. Its rare to find someone that will walk you through the entire process like this, but i guess the point of this comment is... ppl like that are still out there, And those are the ppl that make me love this community. Find one, make friends and build engines together for life

As we in the netherlands say: ''Poah dikke getunde scooter''

Great job!! 🎉 Don't push it too hard for the first 300km: roll it nicely, warm it up properly, use a fatter fuel mix than the one recommended, then after that you can push hard and enjoy 🤟🏼✌🏼

Always check ring gap. At least .004" per inch of bore. A 70 kit is usually around 47mm which is about 2 inches, so rings should have .008" gap minimum. Also, it's important to make sure the cylinder ports are chamfered. Many kits require you to do this. I know Malossi is higher quality but I still would have checked that. It's extremely important. I also would suggest removing the engine, as it's only a couple more bolts and allows you to put the thing up on a table where you're not crawling around on the ground. It makes it way easier and more pleasant to do the work. Although that just might be my old-man-back speaking...

hahaha Malooooosiii. that really got me. I love scooters. When you are kid in Denmark, tuning scooters are your first intro to mechanic.

That video reminded me my childhood - before (and even little after 2010) those 50 cc scooters was a go. Almost every teenager in my country had one and we even had our own community. Imagine a dozen of scooters zooming through the streets in line, popping wheelies on a secluded streets, working on them with friends. Performance mods is one thing but the cosmetic was also important - two tone paintjobs, polished aluminium parts... Heck, we even had a guys with a sound systems built inside the storage space under the seat (built from one/two speakers and a car radio or amplifier). Now I'm a 30+ years old guy and I see scooters being used for food delivery and casual cruising to work but there is no communities like those from 15 years ago. And no crazy builds. And some of them have electric motors. Now hear me out - with the set up like this I think You should easly achieve even 60 mph! Also, if I were You, I would entirely throw out the oil pump and do the oil and gasoline mix by myself. Then, for the new cylinder set I would add a bit more oil for the breaking period ;)

Hey, i was the second of 2 mechanics in illinois biggest scooter dealership for 2 years until they downsized a few months ago. I had taken apart your exact bike hundreds of times and replaced everything imaginable on one of those, just wanted to say love the video. it really gives me a calming feeling of nostalgia and happiness seeing someone figure out how to assemble a big bore kit, after id struggled with them for so much time. be sure to work on some old vespas and piagios next! Those will make you reevaluate your life

This is what most of us in Europe run for a budget, sporty wheelie build. The 70cc Malossi cast iron performs well. Al tough a lot of people do prefer the DR70 cast iron above the Malossi kit. Both seem to perform about the same with the Malossi having a tiny bit more top end. With a full volume crank set, a 19 mm carb with a good expansion chamber exhaust like a Yasuni R if you can find one in the states, a bigger intake manifold and thicker reed valves or a reed valve kit this moped wil fly! It will throw you back without any effort. You can go a bit lighter on the rollers as well 6.5 is the sweet spot for now. Have fun, stay safe!

if you look at the old piston you really can see why it was running so bad. the rings where worn out and there was lots of blowbye. Also you can hear it from the sound and how its trying to run at the start of the video. oh and a quick tip to get the contra spring nut off, just throw it upsidedown in a vice and twist it by the pully

Awesome! , just a tip : paint a little area of your floor white where you're going to mess with small parts , makes a lot easier to find them 😂

This was my dream when I was 13. BTW I'm 29 now. A friend of mine had a Honda dio ZX. The only thing we did is tune it to 72cc with a unrestricted CDI. A few adjustments on the vario weight. It was fast like a rocket. Because of the lack of money back then, I couldn't fullfil my dream to tune a Dio with a 125cc exhaust carbs and everything. There was a kit on eBay back then for 600€. That was out of my league for then. Now I make more than enough money but I live in a city , in another country, no garage what so ever.... I wish I had a little money back then. Good to see someone did what he wanted. Nice video mate

The Honda Vision was the one that started it all for me. I was 6 years old, my then 15 uncle and his mate had found one in the bush, probably stolen and abandoned there for a long time. They showed up with that thing and asked if I wanted to try it, I'll never forget the terror and excitement I felt as I twisted the throttle of a motorised bike for the first time in my life. Now, 25 years later I'm still hooked to anything that goes Brum Brum. Spent my teenage years in Italy riding modified scooters to school, after school and anytime in between that, those were the days! Keep it up man, that was a great way to spend 40 minutes of my life 🤙🤙

One thing i have always learned is that if you can, get the 6 point socket at ANYTIME over a 12 point. 12 points just seem to strip the shit out of any bolt/nut after a few times of being taken off and put back on. 12 point sockets have their uses, but honestly i don't use them for much other than hammering onto a stripped bolt at this point.

Love it dude, happy to see you bring more attention to these fun little machines!

This really takes me back to the 90's when i was in high school, loved it. One thing to keep in mind when doing this, is that the scooter will now require a lot more maintenance than the standard setup. Which can get annoying if you drive it daily and are counting on it to get you places. The fun factor of a geeked up scooter is incredible though

you're criminally underrated, bro. it's clear that you're putting a ton of time and work into your videos. +1 subscriber

Good job man! As a fellow 50cc rider i suggest you get a 21mm carb like a Polini CP21 or a cheaper PHBG21 from dell'orto, also Malossi reeds, intake manifold (21mm diameter) and a cone air filter would change the bike greatly without affecting reliability.

I’ve seen your video before. Great watching it again. You did a superb job following the excellent instructions!👍🇬🇧

Well jealous of that bike man. Looks and sounds great, well done mate.
