Sounds like the valve clearances, well known for going out of spec quite quickly on the LEADER engine that you have in there, had the identical...
No grinding required stroke of the engine is the same, there is a 2 degree difference in timing but it'll run fine with the 125 CDi, gear up kit...
Heads the same on them
Sadly the one big issue with Italian vehicles, is that they were quite often built with whatever was laying about on the day of manufacture. You...
Depends if you are looking at the VXR180 Runner or the FXR180, VXR is the same 4 stroke engine, FXR is the 2 stroke
Very dependent on your location as well of course, plus your car no claims wont count towards the scooter
Did you check the valve clearances, they have a tendency to go out on the LEADER motors, I had very similar on my old VXR, ended up changing the...

They push out around 6 hp even if you could find a gear up kit so that it could get to a higher top speed, it's just not got the power to do it,...

Not sure the Malossi head will fit with the standard piston to be sure, think you need the big bore kit from them for it to fit as the valves are...
Got a set in my R1 and they have been fine for the past 5 or 6 years, though no guarantees you've have the same experience [img]
If it's gone through a MOT without any issues on the bearing and linkages front I would suspect the tyres, are they nicely rounded or when looking...
Love the read so far
Yip it's a straight swap
Impressive for a fivty
