close to test drive time
More done, headstock is all welded on four sides now.
chopped a few barely hanging on rusty panels off.
channel cut out for the start handle, not pretty but strong.
tested the handle to make sure it didn’t catch, flipping engine started while upside down! must sort a kill switch.
figured out that vespa’s don’t have a positive stop gear change, thats gonna be a right arse to fix. Tomorrow (if i can find first gear) its definitely test drive time, even bought new bolts to screw the body back on.

Hello I’ve got a Yamaha ysr myself have nicked the idea of the rxs engine it’s sat in my shed currently scratching my head as to how you’ve fitted the engine as it seems a tight squeeze near cylinder head and the rear doesn’t want to come closer to the frame do I have to chop the engine cover down on one side? More photos would be amazing or any more info, cheers Lewis
Hi, sorry the YSR/RSX is not mine, i didn’t fit it, and these days it’s very buried in the back of the shed and being a dad has cut my playtime to nothing
if i find the time i’ll dive in and take what photos i can and post here. My advice is to chop the engine about, head fins, side cover CHOP.
