Rapido with LTH Reed or TS1?

[Dazza]

I have been toying with the idea of fitting an LTH to my Rapido for a while now and am about ready to buy one BUT I can't help thinking I'd be better off paying a bit more and go for a TS1 kit.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[bazman]

Aye, ts1 it !!!
Then fit a lth manifold for ts........ where does it end ...

Or just tune/port the Rapido.

I am going to LTH my iron barrel at the end of the year..well Uncle Sean is..I hope.

Better fuel economy still quick and if it improves whats already been improved with the stage 4 tune Sean did it will be more than adequte as it flies as it is..

Not sure if Mazz is on this site but he fitted a Lth reed block to his rapido 225
it was not that successful, aren't they modified moped blocks

did he boost port the barrel and cut the windows in his piston or just bolt it on?

He allowed a friend of a friend who knows someone who does tuning sometimes to mess up the porting it spat out more fuel than it used, 28mm mikuni didn't help.
So someone else recommended the reed valve it didn't work so the motor is now with chalkie at replay for remedial work, chalkie said it can be fixed and chucked his 28mm mikuni in the bin for a start

i think the reed valve went with it. for the price of the reed kit he would be better off selling the rapido and buying the ts1 if thats what he is after. chalkey knows his way around a rapido though and i think mazz would be happier with the rapido or rt kit.

ive been eying up the drz 400 engined lammy on ebay......mmmmm and a mark 1 speed triple with low miles......mmmmmm

but im poor
