Ive decided to put a malossi 172 kit on my t5 but i dont want to just bolt it on and not get the full potential of the kit, its standard at the moment with a pm pipe on it, going to strip it completely and do bearings, seals etc.
I have'nt done any work on vespas before just lammys so i would appreciate absolutely any advice on any part of the rebuild
cheers

t5 malossi 172 advice
The best thing you can do is buy the Vespa engine rebuild DVD for about £25. Believe me it will be the best £25 you will ever spend

ditch the PM pipe i have a reedvalved 172 T5 and it was pulling about 15.5 BHP put a scorpian on and it went up to 18.5 i think JL are quite good or if you can get a Taffy as that is the best IMHO

my t5 had a pm pipe on and was ok untill you hit 4th gear
you will probably also find that the malossi kit is very rattly , sounds like lots of piston slap

there is a cheap version of the rz jl pipe the revolver pipe and the taffspeed pipe is now out in a cheaper version
just wear ear plugs so you don't hear the famous malossi rattle.
