  • Restoring my Kinetic Zoom Y2K.

    Hi everyone. My name's Ashwin and am from Kollam,Kerala.
    I've got a Kinetic Zoom 110cc 2stroke scooter that's been laying around for a while. It was purchased in the year 2000.

    My friend and tutor of biking, KB100 has accepted to help me complete the job, since am a novice when it comes to bikes.

    Pics will be coming along shortly.

    But before I start the restoring process I've got a few queries and hoping you'll could help me sort it out.

    1. Can I swap my engine with a Shogun one???
    2. If yes, what all should I replace???
    3. Anyother recommended mods???

    Thanks in advance guys and wish me luck on this project.

          Keep your Kine Stock, if you really require to mod, then do some mild port job on the cylinder, but thats it.

          Shogun Engine!!!!!!!! Sorry that is not possible. Yours is a scooter & that is a bike. Forget it. Moreover Shogun cylinder kit + CrankShaft are more hard to come by then your ZX Zoooooom's.

          Also FYI, Shogun Engine is naturally air-cooled, but Kinetic ZX is forced air-cooled, so dimensions will matter. Please buy a Shogun if you like & keep both these with you.

          Keep it stock, keep it healthy.

            IMO Restoring to the stock condition will be the best for any vehicle than modding it seriously. Personally i didnt feel any lack of power in you kinetic.

              Yeah when discussed with Sarin bro, he too said that was a good idea and also was technically possible and am not talking about the engine as a whole, I forgot the names of the parts thats why I said ENGINE as a whole.

              And FYI my stock ZX can easily smoke a RX100 .

                Karthik - It's a shame that I own and restored the RX with great difficulty, looks like Kinetic ZX can smoke RX, damn! I wasted all the money! I'm not going to spend any money on RX at all.

                I'm going to buy ZX and do stage 3 port set up to smoke RD350!

                    i never said put the engine in the kine , i said it might be possible to graft shoguns cylinder and head into the kinetic , i remember it being done elsewhere , but it is in no way an easy job

                      Next time bring your ZX for the G2G.
                      You told me this before and I just smiled because I know you are ignorant about the RX. But bro, now you said this on a wrong place .

                      Very good suggestion.


                      BTW Aswin, solve all the problems with your Kinetic and if you want more power do some port jobs and all. Sarin(KB100) just said we can try for a Shogun Cylinder/piston kit. That doesn't means that it is possible. It requires a lot of work .Not easy at all and almost near to impossible. We can work together with your ride. If you want some competition I have one for you. As you know my old Marvel is getting ready (thanks to Sarin) and we can have a drag race, and may be your ZX with some mods can smoke my Marvel.
                      All the best for the restoring work.

                        Parts for the Kinetic are getting increasingly hard to come by. Most of what is available is local made stuff. Restoring it to its original condition would be the best option. I did it to my Kinetic for less than 10k with almost every engine parts replaced. I still enjoy riding my Kinetic more than any new Activas os 4stroke scoots.

                        @Sarin, a Shogun piston can be installed on the Kinetic engine with little mods. Since even the Shogun piston is difficult to procure and expensive, its best to go for 110 cc Stock Kinetic piston. I have experienced my Kinetic performing well even on 'SAM' pistons. The boring job should be perfect.

                          Hehe.. Love the sarcasm sir, but the thing is, when you hear kinetic the first thing that comes to you'r minds the original honda make's and I have to agree they were a pain when it comes to overtaking and they also topped out at a mere 80~90Kmph and you'd have to get out and push it to overcome a big bump. But the ZX's nothing like that. For you to understand what am talking about you'd have to ride one to know it. The engine,silencer every single bit of the rides different. And when my ZX was top notch it use'd to overtake faster than my ZMA.

                          Lemme restore my ride, cause now my ride wont even start properly.

                          Marvel at its best tops out at 70~80Kmph.... Dont worry when we restore my ZX we'll see which's best.

                          Very true bro, my original silencer was screwed so switched to the free flow type used in the old 100cc kineys and my bike's mileage dropped from 60+Kmpl to less than 20Kmpl.

                          Anyways am hellbent on doing this..

                          BTW Yamdoot, what happens on you'r kiney when you ride at wot and let the throttle go for a sec and then pull it back to wot???

                            sir ive seen that the kinetic marvel uses a piston with a concave crown , so putting in a domed piston should bump up the power slightly , any way the way ashwin is doing atleast an expansion chamber will have to be made, parts for the kinetic are available here but as you rightly said its of local make zodyx and similar ones , but before doing any of the above i have to start it up first , and that is the most difficult part

                              Im sure together with Sarin(kb100) and haris(bikerHaris) you could do some wonders. All the best for restoration and mods.

                              Im suggesting you to keep her in stock setup, Because in future it will be hard to find these 2 strokes in stock condition.Moreover, the bike will respect you back without much headaches.

                              You made me to think like I have to drop my dream plan to own RD. If ZX can smoke RX, me got to think for some other better option.Have some mercy on RXs when your super scooter is on road.
