Description
Airsal 80cc "Racing" Cylinder Kit. Nikasil-plated aluminium cylinder with bridged exhaust port and single-ring piston (d=50mm). For Minarelli AM6 motor.
With a lot of power and a lot of torque, this 80cc cylinder kit definitely falls into the Mid Race category. We recommend combining it with a reinforced crankshaft (mid range), a minimum 17.5mm carburetor and a sports exhaust favouring mid to high rpms (Yasuni R2/Cross HM, MK SP, MVT Carrera, SCR Handmade, Reverse NON-E, etc.). With the right set-up and a little adjusting (jetting and squish) you get between 13 and 15hp out of this cylinder kit.
How to Install a cylinder on a scooter, motorcycle or moped
The cylinder or cylinder kit is the heart of the engine on scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. It consists of a cylinder, a piston with piston ring(s), a cylinder head and gaskets needed for installation.
The service life of a cylinder depends on whether it has been fitted correctly.
Tuning Level: Racing
We categorize our products into different performance levels Original, Sport, Racing and High End , so that our customers can choose the right parts for their setup. It is really important to combine parts that belong to the same tuning level, this is especially true for cylinders, crankshafts and exhausts.
Racing products are designed for a more extreme uses and are developed primarily for racing. Whether you stay at 50cc or increase the displacement, the corresponding Racing parts produce much higher performance than the original parts in order to achieve maximum power.
Aluminium cylinders
Aluminium cylinders are more powerful than cast iron cylinders, but require more regular maintenance and must be combined with different components such as a reinforced crankshaft and a larger carburetor.
How to run in an aluminium cylinder?
Aluminium cylinders should be run in for about 200 kilometers , and you should use a fully synthetic engine oil.
Note: To ensure optimum performance and reliability, it is advisable to measure the squish clearance. Just have a look at our tutorial How to adjust squish clearance.
This cylinder will get your front wheel up in 1, 2 & 3rd gear with a lil clutch play (stunt clutch advised) no problem. With my setup and gearing, will be listed below, it tops about 100 kmp. Which no, has not been tested op GPS(idgaf). I genuinly believe that with a heavy gearing this cylinder will push 120-130 kmp, although it would be less fun on enduro models.
Setup:
Airsal 80
Stage6 28mm carb (comes with poweryet which def helps higherup in the rpms)
Yasuni r2 (low powerband for wheelies, when going for top speed consider R3 instead)
Malossi VL6 membrane (barely makes a difference from your stock VL6 membrane)
Standard ignition
Standard crankshaft (has not broken so far, used 2 months now, might brake later idc)
14-53 gearing
Airsal gets a lot of hate for being "cheap". I disagree, i think that they are insane for the quality you get, way better than quality to cost ration on brands like malossi or polini. If you wanna learn to wheelie of even go fast on a racer, get this god damn cilinder
