Re: GT 240 Gearbox choices
Best of luck with it. If it was me I wouldn't make any firm decisions until the bike is run in and you can rev it in 3rd before going into 4th. Are you running an air filter? As i mentioned before, giving the air filter space to work right changed the performance in mine completely.

Re: GT 240 Gearbox choices
I use an li150 box with 17 46 af road clutch, 30mm with a pm pipe. The pm pipe has great ground clearance, much better than a fran race but not as powerful. Removing the toolbox and moving the casa filter into the toolbox space where it's completely unhindered has really improved performance. Having...

Re: Trail-Tech temp gauge.
Great piece of kit and worth every penny. On my gt I fitted the sensor under the head bolt furthest from the fan. I stuck the guage on the bridge piece. With a head torch wrapped around the toolbox door and pointing at the guage I can see temp readings at night. On my T5 I fitted a guage on the tool...

Re: Running in
I agree with Meds1. Heat cycles, gear changes to avoid labouring the engine and a retorque. I've always thought that cast barrels had microscopic hairs of metal in the bore from machining and the break in process was to wear these away to ensure a good ring/barrel seal. My GT kit definately ran hott...

Re: What sparkplug do you use with your GT kit?
B9 for me on a gt240. 4% oil. No problems with heat. Great kit.

Re: Tyre Choices
HxPaul, you speak the truth! Gobus and city link are 2 companies that run busses on the motorway from our town to Dublin. They hold 100kmh up hill down dale headwind or not. It’s taken us a lifetime to outrun those guys! 100kmh is hard to achieve.

Re: 210 polini alloy cold start issue
I agree with Jack221. Had the same problem and a new red tipped needle sorted it.

Re: Tyre Choices
I agree with Hotdog, heidenau tyres work great for me. On my second set of mitas on the lambretta. Can't fault them. Better grip in the wet than I was expecting. S83's and S1's have too poor a speed rating for any non standard scooter in my opinion.

Re: PX 125 Gearing
The T5 fourth is the same as a px125 one I think. Using a clutch with more teeth is the easiest way to upgear your engine. I think a px125 has a 20 tooth clutch. A 21 tooth will give a 5% upgear. A 22 tooth clutch will fit but your scooter might not be powerful enough with only a pm exhaust and no o...
