Scooter Original Type Air Boxes

Teknix and Tun’R offer a complete range of original air boxes in black or white for the most popular scooters like the Yamaha Aerox or Peugeot Speedfight etc. When using the original carburettor we always recommend keeping your original air box instead of opting for an open sponge filter on a 50cc. These air boxes are perfect for just that as they replace damaged or tatty old air box units whilst keeping that all weather efficiency.

Polini PWK 30mm Flat Slide Scooter / Moped Racing Carburettor –

Due to strict racing regulations in Europe many of the top tuning brands have only ever really offered smaller carburettors to suit their needs. With the Italian Polini 94cc open cup getting more and more popular Polini’s race technicians have developed a range of PWK flat slide carbs designed with HP in mind. This 30mm is the largest version which Polini have modified to make it a little easier to set up and increase performance. The intake duct is machined by Polini technicians while the float bowl size is the result of many hours testing to suit most scooter and mopeds needs. Universally fitting on many 2T and 4T scooter & moped engines.

Athena performance parts for 2T Minarelli horizontal LC engines

Italian company Athena produce a range of high quality performance parts for a wide range of scooters, too many to list all at once here. If your scooter has a two-stroke Minarelli horizontal liquid cooled engine then the following Athena products are well worth a look at:

Minarelli horizontal liquid cooled engines (e.g. Yamaha Aerox)

Athena HP 70cc cylinder kit

The porting and quality of the Athena HP 70cc aluminium cylinder kit is excellent, it's extremely durable and therefore ideal for road use. Included in the package is a single piston ring, carbon fibre reed petals and a bunch of gaskets. This kit is suitable for all Minarelli horizontal liquid cooled engines.

Product code: AD/072400

Athena HPR Racing 70cc cylinder kit

Like the HP kit from Athena the HPR Racing 70cc cylinder kit is also great quality and very durable. The difference with this kit is that it features a revised port layout and a flat top piston for added power. It's also a higher revving kit and therefore requires a suitable exhaust such as the Yasuni C16 or Doppler RR7. This kit will work with a standard carburettor with a jetting increase but to make the most out of it we recommend fitting a 17.5mm carb or bigger. Included in the kit are carbon fibre reed petals and a bunch of gaskets.

Product code: AD/081100

Athena Platinum drive belt

Athena's Platinum series of drive belts are made in Japan so you can expect the same quality and performance as Polini belts. Made from reinforced Kevlar Athena Platinum drive belts are extremely hard wearing.

Product code: AD/S41PLAT001

Athena unlimited rev CDI unit (for Yamaha flywheels)

Increase your revs! Intended for race use, once fitted this device will remove all the barriers of the standard CDI and allow full control of your scooter's power - unrestricted. Fitment is for models without a catalytic air feed pipe into the original exhaust system.

Product code: AD/CDI01

50cc road tuning suggestions for Minarelli horizontal LC engines

Within the world of scooter tuning today there is a big selection of tuning parts available. This may leave you a little stuck when trying to choose the correct parts that actually make your scooter more useable. So we've put a few suggestions together to help you get the best reliable everyday road performance from a 50cc scooter using reputable parts that work well together. The following list applies to two-stroke 50cc scooters fitted with a Minarelli horizontal liquid cooled engine:

MINARELLI HORIZONTAL LIQUID COOLED ENGINES

For Minarelli horizontal liquid cooled engine scooters such as the Yamaha Aerox, Jog RR, MBK Nitro, Mach G, Malaguti F15 Firefox, Italjet Dragster etc. we recommend the following parts:

Cylinder Kits: The Stage6 Streetrace 70cc kit is a cast iron kit that gives very useable bottom end power which is perfect for whizzing around town or practicing wheelies. Alternatively the Italkit aluminium 70cc kit will provide quite a bit more power but higher up in the rev range, perfect for all you speed freaks.

Exhaust systems: Again the Leo Vince TT is the best budget all round performer. The Tecnigas Trek or Artek K1 will see better power gains and release more of the 70cc kits potential. For anyone using a high revving aluminium road going cylinder then the Yasuni C16 is a must for anyone serious about speed.

Variators: This is the most substantial upgrade for any Minarelli engine as the standard article is very poor. The Polini 6 or Polini 9 roller variator kits are very easy to set up and give very consistent performance. Also the Doppler S2BR works really well on the Minarelli engine as it raises the rollers to 19x15.5 rather than the standard 15x12's.

So far we've mentioned the three main upgrades necessary to up the power of your ped. A carb upgrade and gear kit will further boost performance for anyone who has a larger budget available:

Carburettors: Minarelli engines normally have around an 11.5mm standard carburettor. For everyday use on the road we recommend a 17.5mm carb as it’s still fairly compact so therefore fits into the cramped space it sits. The Polini 17.5mm carburettor is made by Dell'Orto and can be easily set up for the original air box or a sports foam filter.

Gear Kits: Gear kits increase the gear ratios resulting in an increase in top speed. Top Racing 4 part kits come pre-pressed for easy fitting. Polini gear kits have undergone extensive testing to give you the best ratio for use with 70cc cylinder kits.
