I think I also have a bit of the classic rubbing on the basket Have got some shims so will split the cases and shim the tree 0.5mm or so. I’ve also got a DRT sport clutch so I’m going to give that a try and see how that goes.

So courtesy of a new DRT basket from Juan and a bolt from Henri I’m almost back in business. New DRT basket in position with DRT clutch spider mounted. Given the deeper dimension of the basket (which is a really tight fiddle just to get it into the bearing in the case) its much easier to build up the clutch in the engine Clutch complete! It’s a shame to have to hide it all away....

Hi,
As the new owner and after a quick chat with nick I would like to bring this build to an end.
Finishing on a big high with great dyno results from day’s session at shiny red tuning.
First run made 15 bhp and 8lbf torque.
With the carb jetting looking good we checked ignition timing.
After a little tweak on the vespatronic we were off again.
Over the moon with the results for such a seemingly small tweak.
17.2 bhp and 10.3 lbf torque.
Cheers nick she a Beaut.
(if I can work out how to post a pic I will post the dyno graph, pm me if you can help with the photo posting.)

Hi all
I nipped back to the dyno after Adding a little ubend pipe to the tail pipe on advise from Gary at shiny red tuning.
The idea with this was to stop the exhaust gases hitting the body of the expansion chamber, as this was interfering with the exhaust wave etc.
Now the little Quantrini is putting out 18.6bhp and 10.8lbf torque
That’s a gain of 1.5 bhp and 0.5lbf torque
All down to Gary at shiny red tuning.
Mega chuffed the scoot is smoother and rides better now.
👍🛵👍🛵
