Re: kitted v1
They make many high performance parts for these engine.. also new case.. so mod away!..
Re: kitted v1
Minarelli cranks are plenty strong, and depending on year they are full roller bearing.
Never a bad idea to rebuild with new bearings and seals though! go to Handybikes and print out the PDF fo the motor breakdown they have posted. It works well to understand how it goes together.
Re: kitted v1
hell yeah man. thanks for the info. what is a good carb for the 90cc kit? will i need 2 upgrade the clutch? this is going to be a sweet bike!
Re: kitted v1
the clutch is the weak link
upgrade clutch is all most $200
Re: kitted v1
clutch is not weak, just not many upgrades that aren't $$$. Never had a problem with the stock though.
Re: kitted v1
dot go all the way to 90cc on it.. use the polini 47mm kit and the stroker crank. then ask ed about the new springs and clutch upgrade for the V1.. you need more grunt for the 3 wheeler and the 90cc will do that but runs hot
Re: kitted v1
just run the 90cc and put tons of fans pointing at it .
Re: kitted v1
i run the 90 cc with no fan haha
no problems either
im using a 21 mm carb
Re: kitted v1
The Polini kit is easier, especially if this is your first time kitting. The clutch is not weak, and will do fine on a kitted bike, its just pricy if you want to upgrade it.
Re: kitted v1
the clutch is strong ,oh ok.
i thought i read the ed blew up his clutch? that was one of my reasons for not putting a kit on my V1
Re: kitted v1
Yea ed blew up a clutch, ed has lots of crazy kitted minarellis. People blow puch clutch shoes left and right, even on stock bikes. If you think its a reason not to kit a minarelli you don't know what you're talking about.
Re: kitted v1
Coco, only after 2 years of driving everyday.
I got my monies worth out of it.
Clutch is strong, chain the oil .. sooner more often its only 1/2 pint.
I do have a really really kool upgrade stock kit now :)
Includes:
4 superstock brake pads
4 superstock Heavy Duty brake pad springs
2 superstock Heavy Duty clutch springs (1500rpms)
2 superstock SuperSticky clutch shoes (lighten)
$85 shipped
These are all aftermarket parts Meaning there NEW not nos.
If you don't want these parts please get out your manuals.
Make sure your strong or have the correct tool to put the clutch springs. The kit is design to work with the stock clutch assembly. I have one of these ktis install on my ped works very nice.

Re: kitted v1
OOps.. _If you don't know what these parts are get out the manal_
Re: kitted v1
don't sell mine ed!
Re: kitted v1
I would not think of... it:) frick
Re: kitted v1
damn ed,thanks for the advice.my trike is bone stock, and that polini kit would prolly be just right for it.it prolly shouldnt go to fast cuz its old and on rusty spokes. however,i would like some better acceleration ,its not to hateful 4 being stock. she keeps up with a tomos 2 speed till 30mph. also, how do i check the fluid on it?where is the drain/fill? im interested in the clutch,but it will be 2 weeks before i have the cash due to the exhaust i just purchased and incoming rent. thanks man.
