sorry | |
| from wellingtons finest matt
brookes the "scooter king" another creation has been born.
keeping true to his tuning & modifying methods brooke bond has
grafted 8 diffrent types of scooter to make "frankenscoot" (insert evil
laugh here) is this possible? has relly exceeded all expectations of "team rash speed"? b l u r b: hi
jaxy ,- here’s
the run down on the malossi 225 frankenskooter: engine
- this is
a reincarnated engine that started out in Hamilton back in 1989,
various
reliability issues and tuning botch ups have been hopefully resolved! reedvalve
handbuilt block welded to casing with a dt yamy 4 petal + a 28mm mikuni
flatside,
crank runs rz yamy rod and silver cage bearing. cylinder
case spigot machined for px barrel ported for
malossi 210cc transfers, cylinder head machined and reprofiled
squish + dowelled. px
gear pinion and to
be done: disc brake 2
many people to
thank for parts and machining! bench tested, and hope to run it in this
weekend. u p d a t e: had
a few issues initially jetting on the
weekend, however overall it seems to have the reliability my other
scooters
dont. reedvalve seems to help with
smoother overall power than rotary, however biggest disapointment was
vibration's
from the nolathane swing arm bushings making the hard going over long
period's! malossi top end seem to cope with long periods of high rpm without seizure, i expect i may have to watercool as Summer riding will be to xtreme. |

| take one bajaj 150 add 2inch
extended px fork & a piece of box pipe welded on the rear shock. one whole side of the box pipe has been cut out so the engine mount will slide in with holes drilled for the ride height. it just takes a jiffy to unbolt the rear mount and readjust the height. cut a little bit of the body around where the carb box is. run a crap exhaust with the header pipe running into the side of the box, pooman. |

| Frame: - frame seam-welded to half-way up legshields - hot-dipped galvanised (all of $40) - engine swingarm trimmed (only the bushing shafts that extended past the actual casing swingarm, about 3mm each side) - engine mounts jacked apart slowly (over 1 - 2 weeks) with a scissor jack - frame dented to make room for the 200 cylinder - rear shock top mount re-positioned about 25mm back - rear shock jacked up (silent block + long shock extension bolt) to match front-end ride height - right-hand pod trimmed right back - left-hand pod has a new (stronger) bracket (still needs a rod to be welded along the entire bottom edge of the pod, to prevent splits) - Carbone rear shock Engine: - '98 PX200 EFL engine - Cosa clutch - 150 Super quadrant and kickstart - 60mm Mazzuchelli crank - Polini 207 kit, Pinasco head - 1.5mm base packer plate - no real porting (inlet cleaned, chamfered barrel transfers and exhaust port) - Dellorto PHBH30 carb on Malossi rotary valve manifold - old TFF PM lefty chamber (with Yamaha RZ stainless can) - new manifold connecting rubber (slightly S-shaped) to move carb away from frame, and to give clearance from cylinder - no cylinder shroud (as engine is totally exposed to air) - currently no flywheel shroud (i'm gonna trim down another flywheel soon so there will be no forced cooling whatsoever) - drilled 7mm bolt for the clutch air breather (shock spring hits original breather) - all electrics mounted as a single unit to an L-bracket where a smallframe carb should normally go - wide rear rim, running 100/90x10 tyre Front-end: - Honda NH50SS (Lead) anti-dive disc brake front fork, grafted to an SS90 fork stem (with a turned steel lower race mount - no steering stops) - SIP/Grimeca lever-operated full-hydraulic brake setup (custom made master cylinder bracket to fit SS90 headset) - Sigma BC800 digital speedo - 100/80x10 tyre Performance: - gay, like Lance's NZeta - kinda goes fast when it wants to - handles like poo in a storm on bumpy roads at speed - corners like yo mama (good or bad? you decide - it's an "experience") The Verdict: - engine vibrates so much splits appear all over the place (engine mount, left-hand pod, legshields, number plate) - frame is too light for the power - rear brake is prone to lock-up even with the stickiest tyres - sucks gas (smallframe tank doesn't help) heh heh, neil armstrong
