125 cc engines

Hi there - thank you for letting me join! I need some advice, I am looking for a scooter to run a trial with a new engine additive. The scooter I need is a 125 cc water-cooled 4 stroke engine. It needs to be automatic, as the trial will not work with a wet clutch. Has anyone any recommendations for a reliable engine. Ideally, I am looking for a scooter that's about 10 years old. Thanks

 

Piaggio vespa GT 125.

 

I think the GT 125 engine is air cooled - is there a water cooled version of it?

 

It's water cooled !

 

aha perfect - thanks for the info!

 

Whats this new additive then???
I'm curious because I build A LOT of engines

 

Hi Steve,
If you check out rvstec.co.uk you can get a good understanding. We have been using it for heavy machinery mainly where it is known as a friction modifier, it has other attributes that help repair and extend engine life. The Finnish guys have been running a Peugeot 205 for 10,000 km with no oil and I wanted to do a lands end - John O groats run on a 125 with no oil ( any excuse for a laugh ). It has to be a 4 stroke and dry clutch (no hydraulic valves) or it won't work for obvious reasons! If you likey send me a message as I am always looking for outlets - you never know!

 

Hmmm, I have a couple of partly built Piaggio VX125 engines under the bench somewhere....

 

Hey Steve, give us a shout if you want to trial some.
