Re: T5 cylinder
This sounds just the job, if I remember correctly Mark Broadhurst used to offer something similar in the late 80's. The next question is would it work with a box exhaust and up jetted carb?gaz_powell wrote:you could bore it out, replate it or steel line it and use a suzuki TS185 piston

T5 cylinder
I've got an old T5 cylinder that has been seized and now has damaged plating. Can it be rebored, replated, and a bigger piston used or just replated and use a standard piston.

Re: LN 125
She's very slim and the bikes made out of plastic so I wouldn't think that either of them weigh a lot to be honest.Muttley McLadd wrote:Is she the same weight as the scooter? If she is, that could be the problem.

Re: LN 125
45mph from a 125 seems very slow, my wife's ET4 will do 40mph and it's only a 50cc:? You can usually tweak a few more mph by plating with the variator weights and or removing any spacer washers between the two halves. That would invalidate any warrantee though. My thoughts exactly a modern 125 shou...

Re: LN 125
The bikes brand new but I'm not sure how many miles it's done. To be fair it's a nice looking scooter but it's s**t slow with poor fit and finish and the plastics creak when you ride it. I think that she's going to sell it and buy something faster.

LN 125
Girl I'm working with today has just bought a Lambretta LN125 but it only does 45mph. Don't know a lot about auto scooters and struggling to give sensible advice on tuning. She wasn't impressed when I suggested buying a real Lambretta. Cheers Hank
