Oooh, that looks very nice does'nt it. I was looking at one of them yesterday in the showroom and could'nt decide if I like that more than the Sachs 125. £4k for a new one is a lot of money though. Make sure you buy a nice big lock judging by the scrotes circling it already in the top picture  |

The standard carb is a 28mm, the 34mm carb you have fitted should be fine. The bike won't have no where near 42hp, according to the polini site the 165cc kits they sell take it to 34.1hp, so with the carb you should have about 35hp. That is rear wheel horse power, standard the bike has 33hp at the crank and about 30 at the wheel.
The bike won't last long with the kit, they never do. Talk to a few people on https://www.125ccsportsbikes.com/forums/ and you're find out. The crank just can't handle it. They are highly tuned for a 125 as standard so are not the most reliable bikes and fitting a big bore kit and all that don't help at all, it's a ticking time bomb. ____________________

Make sure you look after it and enjoy it.
42bhp he is talking out his arse I'm afraid. As standard it will be putting out about 25-26bhp on a good day. With a 160cc kit and other bits it will be pushing about 30bhp at the wheel. All the figures claimed by the manafactures are very over exegerated and are claimed at the crank but they don't mention that bit loudly. |

You don't want to be pushing the engine too much, instead off opening it up for long periods of time it's best to do just in short bursts.
You may see 10,000km's or considerably more out of the kit if you look after it but if you don't you will be lucky to see half that. At about 5,000km's take the top end apart and inspect the condition of the piston, rings, bore, etc. As long as the kit was set up all properly there's not much too worry about, just don't rag it too much.
Enjoy your bike anyway, sorry if i bursted your bubble. ____________________

42bhp?! LOL
Probably 35bhp at the crank if you're lucky, but then again, I put tyres on wheels and not cranks  ____________________ A big enough hammer fixes anything! |

Safe riding.  |

Here's the problem with the carb according to the previous owner:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
no no don't by a new caborator! You can try to knock on it an when
this
doesn't work the caborator must be cleaned again. I think that the
floater
doesn't work. You have to ask a motor bike station
beacause it is a problem which can happen to all motor bikes. Enclosed
please find an explosion picture from the caborator where you can see
the
floater. I got this out of the internet. The floater in the caborator
is
very sensitive against shocks (maybe transport).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems like it's no big deal thank god  |
