hi guys just brought alot of performance parts for my gilera runner.
polini evolution 70 kit
polini belt
gear up kit
polini speed drive
polini 9 roller variator
21mm carb
polini clutch
polini exhaust
polini evolution 2 crank.
Anybody have any idea if there is anything else i need and what if any problems i may encounter.
Can the electric start be fitted and will the crank and variator fit with no prblems, any help much appreciated.
Cheers Scott.
21mm is a tad small on an evo2, a 25mm, as said, would be a lot nicer with a straight inlet and a different reedblock.
the evo2 does need some case work for it to fit and run properly, i dont know if you've looked into that? this sort of spec isnt just bolt on and go, the rebuild needs to be complete, new bearings and seals etc.
other then the things ive mentioned, should be a nice bike, but defo go for the 25mm, straight inlet, and maybe a vforce3 reedblock, and an open filter.
possibly look at electric waterpump, piggy waterpumps are shit and by installing an electric one means the bike will be more reliable, and you can do away with the oil pump.
Hi Guy's
Forgot to introduce myself.
Scott from Nottingham Gilera Runner 52 plate, leo vinci exhaust, till this weekend when all the Polini Evolution parts will be fitted. unk:
I forgot to mention i have also bought 125 inlet and Malossi reed block.
Cases are sorted.
Anybody know if this little lot will be ok for fast road use and how long before engine rebuilds new rings etc.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers Scott.
yea will be fine on the roads but will be loud and rev like fuck so may have a slight amount of attention from old bill, if it was my engine id be checking it over after every run and changing rings around the 2k mile mark
Hi thanks for that info lads.
anyone got any videos or anthing so i can see how these 70 kits go.
Anyone have any idea of how quick it will be when all parts are fitted.
ill get some pics up saturday when all the parts are in 2.
cheers Scott
