Description
4-stroke scooters are becoming more and more popular. Malossi responded to growing demands by putting together this Malossi Tuning Kit cylinder + camshaft for Piaggio 125 / 180cc. The kit includes:
- aluminium cylinder 74mm bore
- V4 cylinder head
- performance camshaft 'Power Cam'
This tuning kit is a very powerful upgrade. Displacement will be pushed to 209cc, and even without the camshaft performance / power will be increased by 20% for the 200cc models and by 40% (!) for the 125cc models. Torque is considerably improved. Adding the Power Cam camshaft and the V4 cylinder head will get you even more power, for 125cc models and with the right setup 50% increase is not unrealistic.
If you're using a stock or similar crankshaft, you should by all means get a reinforced model for this kit. We recommend this Malossi MHR crankshaft.
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.
