    hello, 1st and foremost, i would like to apologize to the MODs if they found me posting on the wrong section, sorry, im a total noob :grin:

    and the story begins now. i bought a piaggio zip 125 and decided to 'almost' fully mod it with malossi parts. found this website http://www.malossistore.be which sells malossi parts for my sasha(yup, that's her name)

    like a friggin retard i just bought all the parts without considering whether further parts need any modification.

    ok, here is my problem, what should i do about my original carb and exhaust??(im a noob, please bear with my whining :grin: )

    -i read about carbs at dell'orto site but couldnt figure out which carb does fit my sasha :cry:

    -could leo vince 4road exhaust be fitted to my sasha??? :huh:

    A little more info about your bike would make things easyier for us. Is it 2 stroke or 4 stroke and in completly standard condition?

    You've asked about the Leovince 4-road so I assume yours is the very rare 125 4T zip.

    You must be extreamly careful tuning these engines for 1 main reason, the crankcase bearings are NON-replacable, once they are nackard you need new cases which means alot of work.

    Secondly, you need alot of money to do it properly. 4T piaggios are very expencive to tune.

    The leovince 4 road might fit with abit of adapting, probably not a straight bolt on though. And the standard carb is fine, there is a 34mm one avaliable for stupid money.

    There is a 190cc bigbore kit for these bikes if you really want good performance gains! But it'll kill the crank and bearings over a long period of time.
