Scooterotica

looking @ the magside mod on the scootererotica racer...done for better cooling (air-flow)...ie grinding the alloy lip down.....is this a worthwhile modification on a fast road lambretta ?

yes!

well worth doing, but more so if you use a AF/ JB Plastitronic flywheel as they sit alot lower than the ~SIL fins IMO.

Any mote details/pics of this mod? Is it not worth bothering with a SIL flywheel?

Is this a common thing on the track Paul?

Most scooters on the track are using a direct scoop for cooling, so there are no flywheel fans at all!

But Certainly anyone running a fan would modify to get as much air as possible circulating..... I'm stripping my race bike over christmas so will take some pics and publish.

Thanks Paul

I did mine from roughly the 6 o'clock position to 9 o'clock position.

corrado, mine are removed completely. whats the pros and cons for part removal or complete removal?

My tinpot thinking said that if you remove material before 6 o'clock it would help in flowing the air back out of the flywheel cowl and not forward into the cylinder cowl.

so i better just ride mine in the evening then
