  • @kevinhagen7808
    @kevinhagen7808 Год назад +1

    I've toured on my TS1 225 Annihilator, Li150 Italian gearbox with Franspeed Race on 4.8 : 1 final drive ratio (17x48) and it does quite well, it still pulled 4th no problem but with a bit of work between the gears climbing the Austrian mountains though it had no trouble accelerating upwards in the right gear. I'll be changing that to 4.9 : 1, mostly because the new clutch kit I've got is 46 teeth and I've got a 16 tooth front sprocket. Hopefully better acceleration but still tour-able.

    Hi Dan I’ve got a SX 200 I’ve taken the old Indian top end out and the 22 jet x car out ,I’ve gone for a BGM 225 kit and on your recommendation fitted a 30 Dellorto carb what would your choice of pipe be , it’s running a Scootopia clubman at the moment I want to keep the classic look thanks 🤔🤔

    good evening I have a px 200 with polini 210 gs piston 30phbh carb very well adjusted + reed valve vforce 4 with an Polini original box exhaust what do you think of this configuration,
    an expansion is not likely to reduce my current performance or should I go to a box of type BGM bbs or sip road xl viper thank you for your advice and your very explanatory video

    • @drunkmunkey6969
      @drunkmunkey6969  3 года назад

      It depends a) how it rides now, and b) how you want it to ride. Combining a 30mm and V-force with a Polini box exhaust seems strange... but does it work for you? If not, then yes you may have to change exhaust.

      @@drunkmunkey6969 yes it works but up to 6500 rev it stagnates, good torque below which arrives early but I feel that it could give more but I am afraid that with an expansion I will lose my current generous torque good for short distance but in a straight line and long road it becomes annoying. With a reed valve it is absolutely necessary to combine it with an expension thank you for your answers

    Simple: choose your cylinder then your exhaust and finally the gearbox.
    In your opinion, Dan, is a basic and old school iron 200 stage 4 cylinder with Asso-Werke piston (without skirt) is tuned enough for an expansion or a clubman is a better option?

    • @drunkmunkey6969
      @drunkmunkey6969  3 года назад +2

      I know this sounds vague, but it depends on what gearing you run, what carb you run, how big you are, what passenger/luggage loads you may carry, etc, as to how you perceive the results of fitting it. It also depends on which expansion and which clubman you compare/use, the choices are huge. Engines are best built as a 'whole package'... everything else is a compromise of sorts.
