First, I have several questions about the Kubler cylinder kit
(278 cc). I have an Aprilia Atlantic 200. The description of this kit says
that it is not a plug and play kind of upgrade. I am not so concerned about the
skill needed since my friend who will be doing the work on this kit is a
motorcycle mechanic by trade. However, I am concerned about the fact that it
says that a primary fixed
sheave is needed from a 125 cc Leader engine. These
engines are not so very common in the US (not many 200cc engines either, or I
would not need to order parts for my scooter and have to have them shipped
across the ocean). I searched the website to see if I could find the part
mentioned (from the 125) but I got nothing from the search. Do you carry the
125cc primary fixed
sheave so I can install the kit on my 200?
Also, will I need to buy a gasket set in order to install this
kit or are all of the gaskets included?
I probably have more questions about the cylinder kit, but
they can wait until I know that I can install it on my scooter.
The next part that I have some questions about actually fits
into the issues of the cylinder kit. I would like to install the HiT Dr Pulley
clutch on my scooter. The one listed for the AA200 has a part number
of HIT201203. However, the description for that part says it fits Leader engines 125,
250, and 300. Does it also fit the AA200? I mean a natural, quality fit? If
so, since it fits the 125, would it work with the Kubler cylinder kit without
making any changes to the clutch. (I am assuming that the clutch replacement
includes the primary fixed sleave since that is considered part of the
clutch.
Related to the clutch, I
have a question about the Torsion controller MALOSSI, part number M2513210. Would this part work with a clutch
other than a Malossi clutch, such as the Dr Pulley? Or would it even be
necessary for the HiT clutch?
And just to make sure, the belt (
part number PI833578 ) is an OEM part for the
AA200?
IF I can
actually apply all of these upgrades to my scooter as well as Molossi and Paloni
primary and secondary gear kits, I obviously would also be interested in the Dr
Pulley slide weights. It would probably be helpful to know that my goals are
for greater efficiency, not for racing. Presently, my scooter is most efficient
at 45 - 50 mph. I would like it to be its most efficient at highway speeds
(around 70 mph) and still have some acceleration at that speed if needed for
safety purposes. That is my ideal. Given that ideal, what would be the best
weight or combination of weights to use to get the closest I can get to my
ideal? I think 10.5 grams is OEM, but since I am looking to essentially change
the whole power train of the scooter, I would imagine the weight would need to
change as well.
Well, that
is enough for now. It will get me started so I can know what kind of decisions
I will have to make.
Thanks for
your help.
