    Spec up list, opinions on parts or better parts you can recommend...

    Right first up yes its a 4 Stroke I'm tuning so if the comments going to be along the lines of..
    "Get a 2 stroke" or "why not get a 100 or 125 engine"
    Politley as I can put it just don't bother as your obviously not going to get what the challenge I've set myself is about.
    ...sorry but I get a bit fed up of it off people :)

    Right now thats out of the way the challenge I've set myself is to build a sub 85cc 4 stroke scooter... why? because I can do.... the Scooter thats getting the treatment is a Piaggio Zip 50 4T one of the slowest around

    Anyway heres a list of parts...

    MAIN ENGINE

    Polini 80cc cylinder kit for Piaggio Zip 4t . <<Ordered Awaiting Delivery
    Malossi Hi-lift Powercam Camshaft (For 80cc Only) <<Ordered Awaiting Delivery
    Box of various Jets (polini)
    Polini manual choke kit
    Polini Piaggio Evolution air filter
    Stage6 small-end bearing
    NTN crank bearings and seal kit
    TK S/S Exhaust. <<Now Got
    New OE Piaggio Valve springs
    New OE Piaggio Valves
    New OE Piaggio Valve guides
    50/100 CDI Unit. <<Now Got
    Head work (Enlarge, Port, Polish)
    Dellorto Carb 20mm

    TRANSMISSION

    Polini 9 Roller Super speed variator kit - Doppler S2BR - Polini Hi-Speed Variator<<Ordered Awaiting Delivery
    Polini Evolution belt pully
    Polini quartz speed drive
    Box of various rollers (Stage 6 or Polini)
    Polini kevlar scooter belt <<Ordered Awaiting Delivery
    Polini compression spring with Evo Slider <<Ordered Awaiting Delivery
    Polini Evolution 3 clutch
    Polini Piaggio speed clutch bell

    Possible future purcahses depending on what the other parts produce Power/drivewise.

    Polini or Mallossi primary & secondary gear up kit -
    Transmission Gear Cover Stage6 R/T



    I know its not gonna be as fast as a 2 stroke but thats not the point :)

    Only thing that stands out is the polini 9 roller variator which is more hassle than its worth to set up IMO and worth changing to the 6 roller one (super speed i think it is?) if they do them for 4Ts. I'd maybe do away with some of the other expensive transmission parts for cheaper stuff aswell (S6 etc) just because its not gonna be overly powerful as you said but thats probs just me being cheap..

    Its a good spec though and should be a nice little bike either way and I genuinely wanna see this get built:)

    Yea I was under the same opinion myself with the polini 9 and to add to that theres more rollers that need to be bought too think I may go with the Doppler S2BR as they fit.

    Glad you get what I'm doing :) it will get built parts will be rolling in in the next few weeks, going to collect them all before I fit them all up :)

    just write down what youve spent onn this, every penny... then look what you could have bought :confused: nobody does it for a reason.

    Yes but if we apply the same logic to say a runner 172 or somthing along them lines and counted the money spent on them look what could have been bought

    Its good to be diffrent an when it comes to tuning all of us could have spent money on somthing better, but the funs about tinkering and thinking outside the box

    doubt you'll need two gear ups. It wont pull it. I'm only using one gear up lol. I'd loose the s6 r/t gearbox cover too. Totally pointless tbh.
