Well, given that I live in the land of the endless potholed road (sydney) now, will have to commute into work and absolutely detest the public transport system, I've been starting to look into small capacity bikes... mostly around the 250cc ones.

While I was looking at the bikes I came across an ad for a Yamaha Majesty for a touch over $4000. The Yamaha Majesty is a big scooter, or a feet first bike... however you wanna look at it, its not exactly the coolest looking thing on earth. However it is 250cc and its mighty comfortable to ride in (I've ridden one before a long time ago when I was test riding some bikes).

Here's what it looks like in stock form (1996 majesty... about 4 to 5 grand to buy with rego n stuff):

now you can take that... and make it look like this:

or this (blue one):

The black one is the newer majesty and the red one is a suzuki.... which brings me tot he choice of shelling out an extra couple of grand and get the newer majesty which looks a lot better, and has a whole HEAP of aftermarket products for...

Of course there's other large scooters made by Suzuki and Honda (esp the Honda Helix, which is pretty popular in the US, Europe and Japan... which can be imported pretty cheaply as a 1988 and older import).

Anyways... some more pics:

Here's a moderately pimped Honda Helix:

Now... you can take a honda helix, take off all the fibreglass parts... then drop a bodykit that costs about 4 grand or so on it... and get this:

Pretty f**king cool if you're a fan of the anime, although, I'm not really a big fan of the fake wheel cover, esp in this day and age where you can get a wide chopper wheel pretty cheap.

So the question remains... VIP Scooter... yay or nay?

We all know its not how you ride your scooter, but how you stand by your scooter...

I think those big scooters are a bit lame, but seem practical....Nowhere near as totally homosexual as most 250cc learner bikes - especially the four cylinder sporty looking ones which are the lamest of all.

Little scooters are fun. Our shop hack used to be a Derbi 50cc, with a ported 65cc barrel kit, high comp forged piston, thin head gasket, bigger carburettor and tuned expansion chamber with carbon fibre muffler. Happily wound out to beyond 80kmh which is no mean feat for a scooter with a 100kg bloke on it. With sports brake pads and rotors, and sticy rubber it also had unreal handling. Plus you could jump it over/off stuff and bunnyhop it etc, do nose wheelies, just a total pisser of a bike. The BP100 race fuel and motul oil was a little exxy, but then it ddn't use much either.

i used to own a Peugeot Speedfight, 100cc of pure fury. this is what the bad boys look like:

if i had to buy another scooter, the only one that id consider is the Peugeot JetForce 125cc Supercharged. yep u heard right, the little f**ker is supercharged.

heres pics of the JetForce:

JetForce Compressor

The Jet Force - a natural sensation of speed

A World's First - Jet Force opens the way to a new generation of engine, with three stunning new models:

50 cc TSDI horizontal engine with liquid cooling.

125 cc EFI optimised horizontal engine.

125 cc Compressor - fuel injected, supercharged engine with displacement compressor: a world first!

Featuring the new Direct Perimetric Frame (DPF) with partitioned double tubes provides the chassis with unparalleled rigidity without any increase in weight: the perimetric frame is just as light as a classic chassis. With optimum weight spread, Jet Force has much in common with motorbike design: central fuel tank, central shock absorber and horizontal engine. Daring and original architecture, drawing its inspiration from motorbikes, a natural sensation of speed, exceptional performance and faultless road-handling... Jet Force embodies sportsmanship at every level: perimetric type visible chassis, central shock-absorber, flowing lines.

The Majesty has a 250cc 4stroke engine, and can do 110km/h comfortably. Its the same engine that comes in the 250cc Yamaha motorbikes. You can readily get bolt on turbocharger and nitrous kits for these suckers... but then that goes against the point of having an economical commuter that has a lil eyecandy.

Provided you bling it out nicely, they must surely enhance the strenght of your pimp hand. You can even get longer handlebars so you can ride the thing chopper style... and a backrest for the seat so you can get your gangster lean on.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
