I just recently picked up a nw bike for the lady of my life. I want to put a kit on it (so she can keep up) but want it to pretty quiet. Has anyone put a kit on aand kept the stock exhaust and carb?
The bike.
Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
Depending on the kit size (and if you have the v1 most kits are big) the stock carb is not a good idea as it could lead to seizure. I don't know about the carb though.
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
It has a V1. I think with a 75 or 70cc kit I could get away with the stock carb? My other bike has a 70cc kit and it said in the instructions to use a 14.12 carb with a 54 jet!! (Polini) I just wonder how it would run with the stock pipe mostly. I did not see a big difference when I added the super loud mamba to my bother bike when it had a stock bore. The stock pipe has a pretty good size header and is not nearly as restricted as my stock pipe from my other V1.
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
Yea, don't listen to those instructions from Polini. It's a one-way ticket to seize-ville, man.
You won't get all the performance that kit has to offer in the stock pipe, but it shouldn't blow it up. If anything, spend some loot and get you a 19 or 21mm for the kit. Your bike will thank you.
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
Then I guess you should be fine on the exhaust end but I can't say enough to invest in some carbeurated insurance for that exspensuve kit.
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
I ran my v1 with the polini, dell 15.15, 75 jet for a month or so...not bad at all. I did gain 5mph with a 19 though. Hell, put a pipe on it, that'll be a great start before the kit.
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
Minarelli exhausts loudest to least: Mamba, Scorpion, Proma Circuit. So get a Proma Circuit and at least get some performance without too much noise.
Re: Kit with stock pipe (Mineralli)?
I just swapped over a 15.15 on it. I also have a Techno boss pipe I am going to hack up so it is on the right side I guess? I also have anextra cylinder I might try my hands at some porting and see if I can get her a little faster. Is it 1mm you shave the cylinder for more power?
