I've done about 500-600 steady miles on my polini sport cast iron ac.. and i'm wondering what i could do to travel 90 miles safely without melting the piston, rings and bore in the journey thanks
get a tralier and put the bike on the back of that then your dad can drive whilst you just sit on ya bike orrrrrr, you can stop couple times in ride
will need to do it in like 10 hits or somthing... 10 miles at a time, let it cool down. will be at it all day but ye, it will do it, if it was a stock 125 id do it in one go (or a completly stock 50 would do it, but i wouldent, fuck THAT)
i don't think they are meant for speed. They are meant for Sunday afternoon stunting in the B&Q carpark. I'd like to have a go on one to see what they are like.
I recon you should make sure everything it tip top, drive belt, rollers and carb settings etc.. Then carry oil with you and coolent if L/C, a bike pump incase u pick up a slow puncher. Maybe a small bottle of petrol incase you get low and are miles from a station. Think that will do then obviously pull over to cool down every so often and dont rag it. Oh and carry a spare spark plug! I do london to brighton trips about twice a week on my VXR180 and I just give it an oil change every 2,000 miles then change the drive belt and rollers every 5,000 miles, clean air filter weekly and check the whole bike for any loose bits and obviously make sure it runs well. I change spark plug once every few trips to brighton. And because its a nice strong 4 stroke I can run it flat out the whole way without stopping or overheating, so consider getting a 125+ 4 stroke bike if your doing these long trips on a regular basis.
the scoot should be fine on a long run, if your'e worried, up jet a size and drop some slightly heavier rollers in. Top up your oil (WITH GOOD OIL) make sure tyre pressures are ok, no exhaust leaks, make sure the belt is ok. just go through everything and make sure its not going to let you down. I've done 300+ miles in one go before now on an iron 70 kit, 21mm carb and had no problems (stopping for fuel 3 times) The only thing i would worry about is when you stop, the heat from the belt/variator can pop your crank seals as it's transmitted up the crank. when you stop, let the bike tick over for a couple of mins with no load on the transmission, it should give it chance to cool down rather than stoppng the motor streight away and not allowing the outer pulley fan to cool the crank. I know of people doing 500+ in a day on an SR125 and that's not let go yet (apart from a left crank seal)
