RatJack is back (and better than ever).

Post by laxer »

Some of you may remember I had a rattler that I painted matte black with red/whitewall rims. It's been at the local shop for the last TWO YEARS getting one-off stuff done and I finally got it back today. Now 125cc, new exhaust, carb, intake, etc. Got it up to 63 (indicated) on a flat on the way home. Since it's been sitting out for two years, the cosmetics need some work, but I'll post some pics when I get it all up to speed.

It was a one-off made by my local scooter shop. Has a Technigas expansion chamber exhaust and pulled the oil injector so I just premix now.

She is mean, alright! I think the 125 kit was modified from a Yamaha Zuma, but don't quote me on that. I think he had to custom cut a metal shim because the stroke is slightly longer. I have to premix now, and manual choke when I start her up, but it's a small price to pay to ride the Rat-outta-hell. Can't wait to really open it up in a full tuck and see how much I can squeeze out.
