200cc Jonway VIP (Reaper)

[fl0540bravo]

Greetings all. New here and thought i would show off my engine transplant. I have a 2009 Jonway VIP 50cc. I bought her new with less then 1 mile on it. At the time that I bought her I really didn't have a clue about scooters or the following that they have. The reason i decided to buy a scooter was well I blew the engine in my mini van. And i really didn't have the money to fix or replace it. I'm a full time college student trying to get some reeducation after the economy dropped here. Not having much money I wanted to get something cheap and easy to maintain.


Note: Not actual pic of scooter only a stock pic i found online.

I didn't take any pics of her when i bought her. For the first 2500 miles she ran great no problems or issues with her. Other then i did need a new belt and battery after a year. At 2505 miles she soft seized on me. This is when i found the world of scooter tuning. lol. When searching online for a new engine or parts I came across BBK kits and complete engines. Boy let me tell ya what I was in pure heaven. lol. Well to make a long story a little shorter i did a BBK from scrappydogscooter

well to be honest I didn't do a really good job at installing it and she didn't last long again. Did one more and same thing. Next i did a stock crank, head, piston, all new bearings, rings and gaskets, new belt clutch variater rollers everything but a new case.

She ran good but now i knew there was so much more out there that I could do. Well luck would have it and my Income tax came in and a school stifes check came in at the same time. Boy it was on and I was a happy camper.

Did a lot of reading and Google searches and decided what the hell lets try to max out the little 50cc and have some fun. And the upgrade began.

After all this and only only got bite once by the scoot. lol

[Rebel]

What a transformation. You did good!

And Welcome to the forum!

I would really like to know what that scooter will do now, tell us about how it performs. Is that a true 200cc or a more like a 175cc that they are calling a 200cc.

How did the conversion kit work out for you. Do you really wish you had just bout a 150cc and put a big bore kit in it?

Shes still in the break in period so i really haven't pushed it much. I did hit 59 on Tuesday. She handles good from 0 - 45 after that the front end gets a little wabaly, I'm assuming its from the 10" tire up there. Thats my next thing to change making it a 13" to mach the rear.

I'm sure its not a full 200cc I think it has the 61mm piston in it which i think makes it a 170 or 175 Do have plans to install a strocker crank and a 63mm piston and head.

I almost got a 150 and did a BBK but with my past 2 BBK's i did and didn't turn out that well I'm waiting until I'm out of school and I can take my time and do it right. The conversion kit went well Just wish it came with directions lol

[Rebel]

Well, now that you've got you feet with with doing a motor conversion. Think about a Linhai-Yamaha 257cc liquid cooled motor. I thin it uses the same motor mounts as the 150cc does. That would be a ride.

You need to think about brakes and upgrading those too, I think you are right on with needing a bigger front wheel and tire. The little 10 inchers are just not great at higher speeds.

Great work though, nice to see what you did and that speed was it off the speedometer? or do you have a GPS reading for that. I'm sure you are aware the Chinometers are about 10% off most of the time.

[fl0540bravo]

Speed was verified by GPS and LCSO street radar. lol.
I'm defiantly looking for another project once this on is all the way done. Would really love to get a water cooled engine as it does get hot down here in Florida.

[Rebel]

Problem with the water cooled one is the puppies are expensive. It would be best to try and find a parts scooter and have most of what you need for a donor.

Love what you did with this little 50cc though. It is one of my favorite scooter styles and yours looks great.

[jmkjr72]

lc conversions are fun

yeah if you think about doing something like that the best bet is a full donor bike that way you can use the forks bigger tires and better brakes

[fl0540bravo]

Thanx. Cant tell how many bikers have slowed down to take a look then give me the nod or the 2 finger down low wave then take off. Had a FMPD officer pull in to my drive yesterday as I was getting home, thought i was in some major trouble but he just wanted to see it up close and get ideas for his.

I'll be uploading a few new pics tomorrow of the new mod i did today. I installed a set of Sunpro gauges in home made pods on my glove box lid. Got oil temp, Oil pressure, and volts. It came out nice just got to dark for me to totally finish wiring up the lights and volt meter. Looking to add blue lights to them to mach my Blue neon cooler fan under neither.

And earlier you hit on the brake stuff. We have a you pull it junk yard here in town and they have a scooter grave yard there Last time i checked they had a 150 with 13" rims with front and rear disk brakes They want like $30 for em I just have to pull em myself. Im going to check and see how much they want for the whole scoot. I see parts for a new toy in my future maybe.

[fl0540bravo]

Got a little bit more done on "the Buggy" (name was given by boss and it kind of stuck to it). Got all three gauges hooked up and working. Oil pressure, Oil temp, and Volts. Made the pod mounts for them out of 1 1/4" PVC connector pipe cut at a 45 degree. Then i tried to epoxy them together and paint gloss black but the epoxy didn't hold. But the way i have them mounted with 2 screws each pod they wont move and still looks good. I was worried about how to mount the gauges in the pods, as I pushed one in to get an idea the one screw in the front inside of the pod sticks out just enough that it pushes on the gauge and holds it in nice and tight.

The volts is showing 12 volts with the key on was trying to see if the lights were working but sun was out and could not see.
After the gauges I did my first post engine swap oil change (no pics as I'm sure we all know how to do that, lol).
Next came some "chrome" looking wire loom. I started to just do the main wires around the engine (starter, coil, etc. etc. etc.) When done with that I saw I had a lot left over so I just went wild. LOL







All in all I think she looks good. The speakers on the handle bars are for my 100w stereo as long as the motor is off she sounds good, but when I star it up and try to listen to it I get more engine noise and squawks and popping that it hurts the ears. I've tried different grounds and I've even wired it right to the battery and no difference. When it was hooked up to my 50cc I didn't have any problems with it. I'm looking for a noise isolator and hope that works.






Well that's all for now I will try to get some pics of the gauges tonight when the sun goes down and see who the lights work. Did a little re wiring to them and I hope it works. If not you'll never know cuz i aint saying what I did. LOL
Its dinner time and I'm hungry Think I'm going to make me some Manwhich and watch some Syfi channel.

[Rebel]

If you had used pvc cement it would have held the pods very well.

[fl0540bravo]

I thought of the PVC cement but i could not find mine at the time. But im kind of glad i didn't use any as when i screwed em in it allowed all 3 to adjust to the glove box lid and not the other way around. The lid even fits better then it did before.

Yup its a 120mm tri LED tri speed fan. I bought it a few years ago for my water cooled gaming comp. I have it wired to to my ignition switch. It runs all the time when the key is on.

wow nice build, take it to a scenic spot and take some more pics so i can have a desktop picture, lol
