The engines in the P series Vespas and LMLs are interchangeable. I have a 1979 Vespa P200E, and a 2009 Genuine Stella, which is what an LML is called in the U.S. I bought the Stella new. Just after 12,000 miles, the crank failed on the LML engine. I had a local vintage Vespa shop build me a real Vespa engine with a lot of high end aftermarket parts, and it bolted right into the Stella/LML. It should run forever now. I also have a 2006 Vespa GT200, which is a 4 stroke, liquid cooled, CVT (automatic) transmission scooter. The manual shift 2 strokes are way more fun to ride, but being an older guy, when I need to ride a long distance through town, from stoplight to stoplight, I take the GT200. Shifting and clutching are fun, until the arthritis starts to flare up.

Thank you for sharing Gerald. The Italian scooters are such awesome culture for a great reason. The Vespa - fantastic You seem to have the full spectrum of them and enjoying them all. Something very special about the vintage models. Even if the joy is sometimes tempered by occasional arthritis Have a great day and thanks for watching and sharing Cheers Bruce

Electric is a little strange but a totally different feel. I have had the opportunity to ride one of the 8 KW Braaap hub motor bikes and that was to me a little odd. It practically had no sound at all and scooter style brakes with left lever being rear brake and right lever front brake as on all bikes. The Zero runs a belt drive similar to the Harley Livewire. The only issue for me is the cost of the Zero and the Energica and harley are are way expensive some like +27K for the Zero 40K+ for the Energica and the HD - The Braaap electric (now branded Leki) was like 8-9 K You should give Brad a call to try the Leki electric also.

I've been catching up on your progress, and this video made me ask if ceramic coating head and or pipe would aid in any way??? Really rooting for you guys. ❤
@TwistgripTalesАй бұрын
The short answer is yes. Ceramic coating of heat exposed surfaces to eliminate “heat soaking” the head that would produce detonation or pinking! Piston crown, internal combustion chamber of the head and the exhaust port. It is interesting to see the effect in lab testing of various products but it does make a difference Especially when we are racing in 45deg C environments. Not so very air cooled engine friendly. Thanks for watching and appreciate your interest in our project. Cheers Bruce

Yes. Put a little lube on the cable barrel and the bolt shaft. Make sure you use a lock washer. I change them for Nyloc nuts. Re route the cable for the easiest & straightest biggest curves. The factory looks at tidy first not cable care. Not a difficult job. Enjoy Cheers Bruce

Great video guys!.. I actually have one just like this ,..red, 1977.. it's undergoing a full restoration here pretty soon, as it's been setting for a long time out in this Southwestern desert sun. But it's in good shape, and will be in better shape when I complete the renovation process. I had an earlier model years ago, ..it was the smaller DT36O in the green color. It was a runner for sure, so I can imagine how strong the DT400 is..I haven't ridden this 400 yet since I've had it, so I'm looking forward to it. I grew up with dirt bikes, and I'm 70 years young at the moment. Thanks again for this outstanding video on the Yamaha DT400..!! Best Regards..Bill in Las Vegas!!

Correct - A little bit of research tells us Silver has an index of 430 Copper an index of 400 Gold and index of 300 Aluminium an index of 230 Steel ie std head gasket 40 and Iron as in barrel liner 80 The big surprise is the best at transferring heat by a mile is high density carbon chain material. 2300 Wow! Got to be me some of that and maybe a 1cc motor? Ha Ha! Great question Thanks Cheers Bruce
