Pedmoto Series 2 exhaust for Gilera Runner and Piaggio Zip MK2
The Series 2 is here not only with an amended silencer logo but with improved torque and redesigned expansion allowing fitment throughout the Piaggio, Gilera and Aprilia scooter range including the early years.
Each system is maintaining the £99 price tag and includes variator rollers and all other components needed to fit.
A jet increase will be essential on stock 50cc scooters, here is a link to the product for more information PMS1860
Here is a link to the exhaust shootout from July 2012 that explains a little about the true operating RPM of the series 1 and 2 and why this makes life easy for any DIY scooter tuner. Shootout

Derestrict a Tecnigas GP 4 exhaust system
This is a short blog just to make it a little easier for you guys trying to make that 4 stroke engine breath a little easier and give more performance when using the Tecnigas GP 4 exhaust.
In most homologated exhaust systems there is a restriction at the manifold connection which meets the cylinder, the GP4 exhaust from Tecnigas is different.
The GP4 has been restricted on the exit of the system, the hole is very small and gives a similar effect to the normal restriction. You could call it an alloy spacer, washer or bush, regardless of name it needs to come out if you want to get beyond 30mph.
The crudest way and by far the quickest is to simply insert a bar or even a screwdriver with almost the same diameter into the washer hole making sure when you push it in you don't make contact with the baffle tube. WD40 would be useful making it easier to work the washer out using a rotational movement.

Once out the system will be free from restrictions enabling an increase in top speed making your journey that bit safer. The sound tone will also change, we think it's more in line with what you would expect a 4 stroke to sound like.

Derestrict a Piaggio 50cc 4 stroke scooter, Zip, Fly, Vespa with a CDI
Single cylinder 4 stroke scooters like the Piaggio Zip, Fly and Vespa S and LX etc have been hampered in their already feeble performance with some other niggles just to make sure you really know that you are going slow enough for a cyclist to overtake you.
The obvious restrictions are in the variator and the exhaust system, which are easily changed or removed, here is a link to show you what should be removed from the transmission on a 2 stroke engine which is exactly the same principle for your 4 stroke, follow step 4 and 5 .
The exhaust system also needs liberating but don't expect an increase like you would receive on a 2 stroke which in some cases could be double the top speed. A good system which is stealthy in it's appearance is the Tecnigas Silent Pro . This offers low noise, improved top speed and freedom for the engine to rid itself of the gases.
The CDI is key to achieving more top speed, previously the only way to get past the electrical restriction was to cut part of the circuit on the CDI and re seal the unit. Now you can unplug the old unit without visiting a Piaggio specialist and plug the new one in it's place, the offer price is only £31.00. Although only an approximate figure we would expect you would see between 45 to 55mph with the components mentioned.

Honda PSi 125 and SH 125 i exhaust from Tecnigas 4Scoot
Tecnigas exhaust systems for scooters and mopeds are becoming increasingly more popular as people realise what we have been seeing for many years.
The new 4Scoot for the Honda SH 125, PS i 125 and @125 i adds to the range and keeps within the criteria you would be looking for when replacing a system on your maxi scooter.
The 4 Scoot stainless steel exhaust is a good choice for a few reasons, it offers a good performance increase over the standard unit. The longevity of the system is increased due to the materials used to make it and the price we are managing to offer this for is much lower than the original Honda scooter exhaust.

Athena 160cc big bore cylinder kit for KTM Duke 125
Its official Athena have released a 160cc cylinder kit with a replacement ECU that corrects the ignition curve getting the very best performance capable from this pretty and popular bike.
The pictures we have available are extremely poor so we thought it best just to look at the bike instead until they arrive with us. What we can tell you is that the kit is very easy to install with no modification to crank casings etc, simply fit the cylinder kit and plug the ecu in and away you go.
Here's some tech spec, the kit uses a forged piston with a nickel coated aluminium barrel 65mm diameter. The official hp figures are below.
The kit will be £744.00
