Big head club 2021

You worried about wind drag with that thing? Lol.

The stock head works excellent with the V1 and a polini, with no head gasket. I got one of those "custom cut super street" airsal heads and it sucked.

Put this Record head from a P6 on (sideways) for the hell of it. Works great!

Metra80 head or the really fancy $100 CNC aluminum head really do a good job.

Airsal head is okay but BRN or TEAM head are both better than it

Oh and baird is a firm believer in brass little end. I think he is right with that? Never realy had a v1 bottom end go south so the needle top ends go then it just blows everything to shit. Just be careful when your clutch starts to stick. That is the point when you are like shit is getting hot

Instructions unclear, engine does not run on flaxseed oil. ;-)

I never break them in. I've put polinis on and raced them the next day, running revs up to 11k for two days straight.

Never soft seized one, and the only one I messed up was when the circlip busted on the piston, and the cylinder just had a little scuff. Still running that one on my 53mph Cimatti.

And yeah, big fan of the bushing. Never had one blow yet. But I don't have thousands of miles on my bikes, but my race bike has 67 hours on it. 95% of that on the track. Still looks new inside.

There's actually a hidden purpose behind this post.

I want to see if it's possible to mount the head and cylinder from a G1 to a V1 using a spacer. Basic measurements say yes. Just waiting on the spacer from treats.

The G1 is a mostly vertical, single speed engine, and P4 and P6 kits will fit on it.

They make 80cc kits in 17,20,24 and 27 hp.

27hp...

Imagine a V1 with 27 horsepower.

Again. Imagine having 4 times more horsepower than a polini kitted V1, which claims 5.5hp. and you can still mount it horizontally on a moped, with no major frame mods, by just making an intake.

Now imagine pulling up on someone that says "my Tomos with a biturbo does 50mph..."

And if you're asking, "why the hell would you want a 27hp (or even just 17hp) moped?

The answer is "why not?"

Yup. I could also revisit the 50/50 idea, and use a Minarelli compact system top end.

If my plan works out, I'm gonna make the fastest V1 on the planet. And I just noticed treats sells drag race slicks. Time to re-up my health insurance.

A 12 pin minarelli vertical cylinder will be in my future, I think it would even work with the cooling shroud with a bit of trimming. I also have a V1L I might one day put the 70cc liquid cooled speedfight kit on.

Link to this adapter bearing? Treats has the spacer from space in two varieties, I think one is 19 the other is 20 something. Also I have both v1 and v1l cranks laying around.

The spacers are correct but not for speedfight kit

They originally came from Carlos Cativa in south America and I gave that unit to treats to replicate.

If fits some kitz, but not all. I'm planning on using a GPR cylinder but I haven't touched that project in a bit

Yeah this isn't speedfight, this is the minarelli vertical kit, aka 'mbk booster' aka first gen zuma (before they came to USA) ... It's not even close to either of the treats spacers.

The biggest advantage is that it's really the only cylinder-reed inducted kit that's even close to fitting on a moped. It is a 40 stroke but nothing that can't get fixed with some porting.

Oh gotcha, yeah neither of those spacers were designed for that kit.

One is to put 43mm stroke kits on and idk what the other is for (the original spacer from space came with a seperate square riser plate)

it was originally intended for multiple kits that were available in South America but idk what else
