Suzuki 185 conversion

Posted before about upgrading and Soosh planted the idea of doing the above rather than running over my budget of £500 on another kit. Can anyone give me any further info on carrying out this conversion? As I understand a TS185 piston kit is required, and the barrel bored out to suit the 64mm pisto...

Re: Upgrade

Casa, Mugello,Imola, Gran.T all have thier own spec to offer, but which do I go for, or would the cash be better spent on a new case and the opportunity of increased cc's.???
Come on guys give us your input and thoughts/experiences.

Upgrade

Thinking of changing from the 175 iron barrel, in hope of more grunt, question is with a budget of around £500. Should I change the case to a 200cc job, and follow that route, or spend the cash on a Mugello 186 or similar? If this route is followed should I stick with standard 58mm rod or 60mm and ...

Hi mate, fine to cover rust but will wrinkle like Nora Batty's tights if it comes into contact with petrol.

Re: No brake light

You could of course of got a brand new duff switch...shocking I know but this sort of thimg happens from time to time.
Join the two leads of the switch together and see if you get a light, if not then bad earth connection or broken/ loose connection on the wires in question.

Re: scorpion pipe

Would have thought someone would have responded to your posting before now. I would have thought it should have swopped over fine between the same series (slimline scoot), but would need working/adjustment if swopping from another. My advice would be to fit with all mounts loose, in order to gain th...

Lack of grunt

Cruising in 4th at 40mph, along with others on equal matched stg4 175 kits, twist for more grunt and I get left behind, same on hills its painfully slow. Have just fitted a 26mm jettex, could this problem be with jetting, which is as Af's set it up. How can I get more grunt. 1. Altering gearing, pre...

Gunsons Strobe light

Has anyone used a Gunsons Tachostrobe dc model on their lammy with success?
If yes what did you set the RPM slide at?
Will dc work on a lammy li150 with 12volt battery fitted.
