Thunder Polini Zuma

Well here is my 2000 Zuma build with some pics and info on what I did. ;D First off I got the scooter from some friends at Red Streak Motors up in MA. for $500 . It was a steal and pretty clean with 600 miles on it. I brought it back to my shop at scootertronics and started getting into tearing it down. I pulled the engine out and the first thing was the cylinder kit.

Aluminum cylinder kit w/single ring piston which Iported and polished my self .I do not recommend porting and polishing unless you know what you are doing .

I covered all wires in plastic wire looms just to keep it all organized.

This all bolted right with no problem at all. Sounded great when I fired it up. [img]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5750/sany0217.jpg[/img] So then it was time to get into the transmission. I used a Polini Variator , Drive face and fan with 6gm Doctor Pulley slider weights a Polini Generation 2 two shoe racing clutch a ZTR 1500 RPM Torque spring and a Polini Kelar belt . I also installed Polini final drive gears.

I did however have to freeze clutch shaft to remove bearing and same to reinstall new shaft and bearing and I also had to press final drive gear on. But this was all very simple with the right tools. I installed an NCY kick start lever , NCY handle bar riser and a pair of ZBAR handle bars also an NCY throttle housing. I got rid of all lights and switches and installed racing kill switch set up.

It was raced hard from the beginning with ove 20 races with no problems. I do however change the weights and spring depending on track size I am racing. So that is my build. Minus a few small tricks and secrets for that winning edge [img]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6816/sany0198r.jpg[/img] Fuel catch can [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2741/sany0096z.jpg[/img] [img]http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/6753/thunder1i.jpg[/img] [img]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3939/sany0040t.jpg[/img] [img]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3269/wwscposter.jpg[/img] Also check out the more here [url=http://masrc.wordpress.com] Scooter Racing[/url]
