if you realy want to have a bit of fun, invest in a malossi 172 kit, there about 200quid for a air cooled typhoon. trust me it'll bring a smile to ur face imp:
maybe in the future but if i stick that on what else would need changeing? gears,, rejet higher and maybe oilpump set a lil bit higher to add a bit more oil for now could you or any1 read my bassic setup? AND most IMPORTANTLY ABOUT THE AIR FILTER, ITS LIKE A NEW TYPE, I THINK, NO AIR COMES IN AT THE FRONT!! ITS THE BACK AND YOU CAN HAVE 1..2..OR 3 OPEN AIRINLETS JET HELP PLEASE PEEPS
ive never used that air filter so i cant help u realy but i cant imagine it beeing much differnt than any other open filter, tbh its not going to make much of a differnce on a stock engine. id start at around a 96 main jet and work down. with a 172 all ud need to do is upjet again and it will run
daym i was told to put it in here yesterday is their a way i can move it? its only really a jet setting question i was hopeing to get a reply for by today as i want to make the order asap and does it matter what make the jet is aslong as its the same size thread..i dnt think it would?
hmmm i hate you you got me thinking about a 172 kit now errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so a 92 would proberly be right on my setup then? any1 else read my thingy and have a answer i need to know this soooooo bad ALSO I KNOW IT WANT MAKE MUCH A DIFFERENCE TS JUST I CNT STAND THE STANDARD BIG FAT AIRBOX LOL
erm what makes you want that air filter?? go for a k&n or malossi one, tried and tested mate and bout 98-105 for them bt probs bout 90-95 on the doppler air filter Bore kits are the way forward mate
READ ABOVE MA8 also Thanks so 92 is seeming a good size so far PS IS A MIKUNI TYPHOON 125 CARB MAIN JET 5MM OR 6MM THREAD also where did you lot learn all about how to do this stuff as i know if i find how i wouldl be able to as well thans o far PS IS THEM SHOCKS IM GOING TO BUY A GOOD PRICE OR OVERPRICED??
jet is 6mm on the mikuni - ditch it for a dellorto tho... forks are expensive thats it lol, can get standards or even malossis too for between 150-350. experience is the main learning curve, i for one am a bike mechanic. did the courses done the practical etc. it dont say why you want the filter it just says blah blah please help jet my bike im too lazy or sumin like that lool, i really really wouldnt recomend it btw. but ye 92 sounds right but you do realise you will have to play around with transmission setup AND jetting.
92 sounds right but you do realise you will have to play around with transmission setup AND jetting??? huh im changeing the main jet for 92? nah im not lazy ma8 ive done alot to is in a quick time if you aske me although not moding just the ehole process of taken to bites to check for things and treating the fram etc and i just want to change the exhaust and filter as the piaggio 1nse make me want to be sick when i look at them ALSO YOU SAY...can get standards or even malossis too for between 150-350. huh i thought doppler would be better than standard as everyone with a typhoon includeing me has probs with stock front forks ..might be ba luck though anyway i thought mallossi front forks are like£400? is £215 for the fron dopplers to much whats the best place to buy parts like i need from to make sure im not overpaying THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MATE imp:
about the airfilter theyre good m8, ive got one on my bike and it works like an airbox..doesnt make ur bike lazy. and buy a box of jets theyre about ten pound kl
that what i was thinking thats why i wanted it due to the design is similar to a standard box do you think i should still go up 10 sizes with the jet (82 go up to 92) with just 1 hole at the back open?
daym thats the only thing i need o learn about the carb setting it up properly cause who ever had the bike before me fooked with the airmix screw and the throttle cable at carb & throttle end you got a link so i can quickly read and learn about it maybe even a place to learn everything about scooter building fixing moding etc.... as im new to this stuff
No one can give u a specific size so stop askin. its trial and error..doit yourself and find out, if you realy are interested in your scoot then try i have one of them filters on my 172 with all 3 holes open and it works like a airbox but revs freely. and change ur pic..u scary muva fuckerr :rofl:
lmfao yp scary (crazy contacts in) and ok so i just keep changeing them untill it feels right? but ho wwould i know when its correct ps WHAT YOU MEAN BY IT REVS FREELY?
you cant have a correct jet as such you have to try different jets drive the bike and see what ones feels the best in your opinion.
ok thanks i thought peolple would be able to work out which 1 would need useing by what was fitted to the engine somehow ..anyway seems not so ill do it your way thanks jets ordered
