OK so i have a few ideas for the 70 set up

first set up:
Malossi X Special Kevlar Belt €20.68

MF30.16605/12 Crankshaft Motoforce Evolution 12mm Gudgeon Pin €95.88

S6-3219066/RB Reed Valve Stage6 NBR €36.66

S6-35021BL Stage6 Double Layer Racing Air filter €29.14

S6-30DEL-19 Stage6 19mm Dellorto BE €84.6

LM7080526 Spark Plug NGK (short-threaded) B9ES (W2CC) €2.63

S6-7019501/R Cyl. Stage6 Racing 70cc (12mm)

Total Cost:£372.88



Second Setup:

Cyl. Stage6 Streetrace 70cc No Stock €121.26 -They dont have this cylinder in stock,so could someone recommend a cylinder with roughly the same price/power that i wouldnt need to change the crank on.?

M6112730 Malossi X Special Kevlar Belt €20.68

S6-3219066/RB Reed Valve Stage6 NBR €36.66

S6-35021BL Stage6 Double Layer Racing Air filter €29.14

S6-30DEL-19 Stage6 19mm Dellorto BE €84.60

LM7080526 Spark Plug NGK (short-threaded) B9ES (W2CC) €2.63

Total Cost:£243.87


Note both setups will be run on a leo vince zx pipe?

Any input would be appreciated

thanks lad's

i like the look of these bikes, just never enjoyed the ride on mine, back end wobbled like fuck and the front suspension was crap and the wheel ended up lob sided
MichaelWhiteLocust#3
lol the only thing ive noticed is they arent well balanced,lik on other scoots if u take ure hands off the bars it wont do anything,on this it wants to topple!
Burns#4
yeah! i made the mistake of takin my hands off the bars on my first ride, shat meself
capri dave#5
Yeahh the front swing arm is like a speedy front swing arm...

On the speedy you can fit the vivacity front forks on, pretty much a straight swap...from what i hear ;)

You dont see many Area 51's about....Wobbly's got one i beleive (or atleast had one)
Burns#6
yeah rare bikesaint they, never would oif dumped mine off if i knew they where gold dust

Be keeping an eye on this one, good luck mate.

Got any spares for it btw like headlight or front panel :cool:
MichaelWhiteLocust#8
No unfortunately i dont,im actually missing the lense for the headlights!

gonna put some mesh infront of them instead :)

any comments on the setup?
