Anyone got experience of a dyno operator in Auckland that can set up two strokes? Specifically, Lambrettas.

Good experience preferred. :)

There was a chap that was on the shore that used to do quite a few 2T scoots, he has closed shop but now works out of his home I think.

Lincoln Shaw (X- R&R Powersports http://www.rrpowersports.co.nz/)

He is now available on 027 273 1989 (I think) The word I hear is all good with scooter work.

Yeah Lincoln did my Lammy and Speedy Steve's white beauty, there is another place around somewhere that Kane went to, not sure if it the same guy did Gazza's Franken-Bella or not?

I have a brand new JL4. Can even help fit it if you want.

You might want a Scooterloopyidiot bracket for the tailpipe. I don't have a spare one of those.

How much do you want for it? JL's come with TS and standard downpipes don't they?

Sweet. I looks like funding approval might be forthcoming as well...

Ice, when are you looking at running the dyno day? I needs to get one or two other bits and bobs.

I'd get it jetted close before then..

If you're whipping it apart to finish off the tuning and whatnot, I wouldn't go spending hundreds of bucks dynoing it, until you've finished :)

Whipping it apart...you make it sound so easy...

Whipping it apart IS the easy bit. Putting it back together so it works properly is the bit that people get a bit precious about.

We can also do customising..

Yeah, Skands will be really impressed if I turn up with a box of bits and say "could you put that back together again?"

Matt Black is far to common - I don't want a scoot the same colour as anyone elses...:girlfight:

Bike now dynoed, courtesy of Gavin at Henderson Motorcycles.

He's a two stroke enthusiast, and understands the addiction to throwing heaps of good money after bad on them.

18hp with a perfect torque curve. Not bad, for a 185cc 44 year old shopping trolley.

Got a printout of the curve?
Dave Lobster
2nd April 2009, 12:42
Yup. I'll scan it when I'm back in the factory tomorrow. Too lazy to look for the power lead for my own scanner. It's in another room, and I can't reach it from here. :)

Max torque and bhp are at 7000 revs, with a JL4. Revs on to 9000, but there's only 12hp left then.
