well as a few of you know, i recently lost what little income i had, so my plans to get an sr are pretty much out the window, but ive been offered a zip50 with a typh 125 lump for 200 quid, its got a blown cylinder (but as if i wasnt gonna 172 it!) and needs a new battery and some other shit but thats about it, so im thinking of getting that and tuning it up instead im thinking polini 175 kit, 55mm crank, bit of porting, 180 gearing andsome other stuff, whats your opinion?
The Polini 175kit is only made for LC engines now days. It sounds like a damn good price. Give this a read http://www.scootershack.co.uk/125tuningguide.html.
ahh terro once again youve saved me haha and yeh its a bargain i thought, bodywork isnt too bad, only thing is some twat decided red was a good colour for the lump! so it looks like im gonna be bashing a malossi 172 kit on, should be a real nice ride! cheers again mate
you've now got no income but your planning on re-building that? how the hell are you going to do that :msn1:
well i have applied for more jobs but by the time i have enough money to fund the 50 project ill be 17, so i see it as more useful having a bash at the 125
whats the chances of gettin a malossi barrel bored out to 175, re-nicosiling it then putting the polini piston in it??
have you seen how thin the sleeve in a 172 is? and to make use of a polini piston you need a cast sleeve as its forged not a cast piston. cant use a fordged piston in a lined barrel
