Need a 2.5mm head gasket.. Source?

Need a 2.5mm head gasket for a SIL 200 66mm barrel.
Been hunting online to no avail. Anyone know where I`d get one?

Re: Zundapp Bella (Bike Engine) now 500 Auto Conversion

Yeh still the x9 chassis under there, converted to monoshock and chopped and trimmed as much as possible. All the bodywork has been modified, widened, stretched to fit. A couple of hundred hours there!

Re: trailtech TTO gauges

I got mine here http://trailtechproducts.co.uk/

You`ll need an extension piece for the temp gauge if fitting it around the headset/ legshield glovebox area.

Re: polini 210 temp

I ran a TTO temp gauge under the plug and on my o-tuned P200 a safe running max was 320F. It did go a lot higher in heavy load conditions, up to 380, but 300-320 flat out in 4th is pretty safe.

Just chaincase, could be the thimble off your clutch, in that case it might be a simple case of replacing it.

Google translate makes a game effort of translating but it`s on a different level to anything in the UK. Don`t know how many scooterists are over there but there`...

Re: Polini exhaust

I think from the factory the later electric start models had the ignition backed off a bit and set between the A and IT marks but only one way to be sure. Pop the flywheel.
My mates bog standard P200e still runs 23 degrees problem free and that`s with the crappest two stroke he can find :D

Re: Polini exhaust

I`ve been running one on mine for a while now. Changed from JL r/h and the difference was massive. The JL was dead down low but the Polini restored that and still had the same if better top end power. I`m on a P200e with BGM top end( which is just a standard 200 top end in all but name) I had a 124 ...
