I also opened up the variator to help get the belt to the top of the rear pulley. It’s much better off the line. I’m waiting for a larger carburetor to arrive then I’ll tune some more.

        I’ve been riding my grande around a bit after getting it reassembled.

            Love the hill,s:thumb You realy need a vario over there.

            The acceleration downhill is a bit disappointing 😉 Maby you need bigger balls 😀

              Haha, I wanted to compare the acceleration between my proma pipe vs the hacked Yamaha yz85 pipe so I didn’t think racing down the hills was important. This one is a simple build 43 malossi, 13.13 carb, stock crank cut for longer duration, gy6 scooter variator modified to fit, and 100mm clutch disks on a 12.25: 1 transmission. The bike tops out at 43mph (69km / h) on flat ground.

              This is the video with the proma to compare, this was the first one I filmed the camera angle is worse.

                  Looks sick! You could try and take it to Bonneville! Do you think I could use my motorized bicycle cdi on a stock vespa ignition? I’m picking up an electric engine soon but it doesn’t have an cdi and I really want to test it.
                  Greetings Robin

                    9F547F7A-4F0A-41C5-A620-DBB0C7AD1A2ABonneville is a 28 hour drive from where I live so I doubt any of my bikes will see the salt flats. I’m unsure if a bicycle cdi would work on a Vespa since the bicycle doesn’t use a pick up coil.

                    More progress

                        Custom cases, simonini Vespa crank, athena 80cc minarelli horizontal scooter cylinder with 43mm stroke(claims 16-18hp), hpi ignition, reed valve with 24mm carburetor. I’m excited to get it running.

                                I swapped a techno estoril pipe on my grande. It took some work to fit on the bike, different header size, different mounting location. After a test ride I lost 15 mph off my top speed so I cut it apart to remove the restrictor cone.

                                  That pipe looks great on the bike, how much did you gain by cutting of the restrictor? About the cdi, i completely forgot about the vespa using a pick-up.
