My first scooter build - 2002 Yamaha zuma bugeye 70cc

I love this I have a 2003 Zuma 50cc without the bore kit have you had any issues since the mods?

[@RetroJunk0]

@@wolfhands2508 thanks! mostly tuning the carb just right during ever changing weather conditions and using a pod filter but as far as the durability of the cylinder/exhaust/intake/carb goes everything is still functioning quite well !

You should post some clips

[@christianrios6295]

The integrated indicators… did you find them for sale or did you make them yourself? And the seat cover? Any specific size that fits the seat?

[@RetroJunk0]

If your referring to the rear I had to make them myself with some amber led marker lights and resistors, and the seat cover is from @thrillseekers they make covers for bugeye and prebug 2 up seats

[@christianrios6295]

@@RetroJunk0gotcha. What about the amber lenses? Are they EU market or something?

[@RetroJunk0]

@@christianrios6295yea you can get them on scootertuning.ca for fairly cheap

what carb trying to get away from auto chock carb know i gotta find different cable for throttle

[@RetroJunk0]

Polini cp 17.5 , you do need a different throttle cable , and just keep in mind that your oem throttle will accelerate in both directions meaning if you roll it forward it’ll accelerate if you twist like normal it will accelerate, oem throttle cables worked in a push pull type of way , just keep that in mind when switching
