My new Buddy With question!

Post by Throwback7R »

Ok so here are the pictures of my new "to me " 09 St tropez

It just got here from superseagulls FROM FL to Chicago

Image

And I finally opened it all up to see what was wrong with the engine after 13k miles on it. I bought the scooter knowing it was bad so compression testing ... = 0psi so opened up the head and to my surprise 1 bent valve to start " intake

Image

Alright what did that to do the piston ?
OH WOW..

Image

That cant be cracked in 1/2 ....
Image

No wait yes it can.. WOW

So what should I do ?

Should I rebuild the motor as stock....
OR
Should I rebuild something crazy like a 171 or 180cc?


Right now I need a new head, jug, cam, and piston plus all the gaskets ..
SO I guess I am ready for a cylinder upgrade.

well, you seem mechanically inclined, so you'd probably love the crap out of a big engine in it.

If you already need to replace the jug and the head then, no brainer!
Go bigger!
