    Hi looks you know quite a bit about the italjet formula by now looking at your threads.
    I was wondering if you mayabe able to help me????
    I have at the formula 125 project which I have posted in the projects section on here and the italjet forum to which you replied amny thanks.
    I have heard that the gear up kits for the formula 50 lc/suzuki ap will fit the 125 formula do you know if this is true or not?
    I have seen this one what do you reckon
    http://www.donotlink-pedstop.co.uk/...it_3_parts_for_Suzuki_AP_50_etc__12-3937.aspx

    Also I need some stronger clutch springs for it and do you know if the formula 50 springs would do as I have also heard the 50 and 125 share the same variator?
    Would be gr8 if you have any info........?

    I don't know about the gear, but the clutch springe should't be a problem.
    I don't think the variator is the same, but I'm not sure about that either.

    PS: The link don't work because the administrators are a littel "childis", and have banned some companys.
    You have to add a space between some of the letters in the url, then I can copy it an remove the space.
