Re: THE NEW DGB LAMBRETTA GEAR BOX

If the new 5 speed gear box works in the confines of the 4 speed box, and dosnt break and all the old Inherant problems are Ironed out.

Re: THE NEW DGB LAMBRETTA GEAR BOX

Its alright quoting HP, but HP not the problem, its the way the power is delivered as we found out when putting 44.5BHP through a standrd box with no problems whats so ever.

Re: THE NEW DGB LAMBRETTA GEAR BOX

If someone comes up with a good gearbox (5 speed) I'll be thinking of buying one, but if its anything like I've had before I will give it a miss I suppose it all comes down to the cost of developement. But quality usually costs!!!

between the fins the 125's diameter is about 5mm thinner than a 150's and when a 125s bored out to a 175 they have been known to fold like a squeeze box when tightened up onto there studs! Its like a sort of crumple zone after being bored

Re: THE NEW DGB LAMBRETTA GEAR BOX

The selector needs a positive contact. the greater the area the better the contact, you would have to re cast a new slector to get all the gear Index's in the right place anyway. If you could build a bullet proof gear box with 5 speeds why not make it future proof. 30 BHP now, and were pinching moto...

Re: THE NEW DGB LAMBRETTA GEAR BOX

I've seen alot of motorbike gears that are smaller than lambrettas. if the right mats are used i.e en24t or32t i cant see a problem.

Re: THE NEW DGB LAMBRETTA GEAR BOX

There has been alot of talk about Five speed gear boxes for lambrettas. Roy speeds were probably the best known, They broke! Tino had some made. They broke as well. and now more talk of a five speed. With road going Lammys putting out well over 30 H.P. they will have alot to live up to. keep on putt...
