As a biker I appreciate the passion these boys and girls have for their machines...il ride and enjoy anything on two wheels..scooters are a lifestyle choice..they look good, practical and comfortable...and cost very little to run,what's not to like..
Got myself one, running it in now, just passed 100 miles. Suspension makes every lump in the road feel like a boulder but I'll get that adjusted. Really enjoying getting used to it, great fun as I enjoy my 50 year old, bald bloke mid life crisis. 🤗
nice vid i was a rider back in the 80s i had Lambretta's and Vespa's but they always broke down mainly over heating even my tsi was a pain i past my test and got on 600cc to 1300cc bikes and what a blast but now i find my self waiting for an operation and can not get on a bike so got a royal alloy gt125 new,,i did want the 300 but you have to sell a kidney there so expensive the 125 for me i bought so i could go out on rides with the wife has she has a nico one 125 i can pull the royal alloy on no storage fuel gauge is pointless never reads correct and every bump you go over you feel the suspension or shocks are crap i do like the colour though ORANGE
I’m hoping Royal Alloy succeeds long term as we could do with a genuine replacement for the Vespa PX now it’s gone. Is the body all metal and is there a subframe? I’m wondering if the body is structural.
it's really well made has plastic tub and side panels so is light and rust free has a metal tube frame chassis . The GP has more metal ie tub etc but I think the GT is better looking
So your headlight bulb at 85 watts is brighter? I just did a quick calculation and at 12 volts the additional current draw on your alternator is approximately just over 4 amps. I did something similar to you with my Vision 110 but I went for an LED bulb made by Philips that draws less current than standard bulb and gives much more light. Does the new bulb look a yellowish colour or is it really nice and bright and does it dim on tickover? I’d be interested to know how the electrical system holds up in the long term.
to be honest I'm changing it out as it takes 30 secs to come on now so changing it before it does any damage it used to be on in 15 secs so I don't think it likes it really bright though
stevi dub dub I would be careful what you buy then. I went for the Philips Luxeon ZES chip which draws 25 watts and appears around twice the light output of a standard 35watt bulb. That would take the weight off your stator a little too. It comes with a resistor box that fits inline with the bulb and you would need somewhere to hide that down route. Maybe under the horncast might work.
*'Tiny mirrors'...that makes sense* *That way you won't even see the truck behind you before you're run-down, and won't have time to panic and soil your pants before impact* *I can't 'Comment' on anything else...because I barely understand one word in five*
Spending lots to improve performance on these strangled 125s for not much gain. And longevity will probably suffer on engine. I have bog standard insetto scoot with same engine you have made by lonjia. Wonderfully smooth ride but she aint quick top end with a real speed of 57mph with little o me up on flat in perfect conditions! Will stay with pcx till 40mph then she gasps.
you will see near on 70mph with my setup polinni race variator 8.7g weights Tasso works remap Tasso exhaust mr2c pod filter . and will pull 60 plus anywhere
Enjoyed your.video wanted to put some bar end mirrors on my GP 200 as the standard ones are useless but there is a retaining bolt or something in the bars how did you get them out drill them any advice Cheers👍
Thanks mate any idea about removing the royal alloy badge in the headlight looks like it’s take the chrome surround off but unlike a lambretta no screws looks like retaining clips love the scooter put a Tasso exhaust on sounds great 👍
Do you know if i will be able to fit That tasso exhaust to Lambretta v125 special? I found That some other exhausts for RA Could be fitted in to...thanks
Hi sorry cant answer that but I know the lambretta is based on the Sym 125 . unlike 2 strokes it's not as crucial with 4 strokes to match the exhaust exactly. contact Adam at TASSO in Edinburgh google TASSO I'm sure he will offer more advice or may have even developed a new exhaust for The Lammy . thanks for your question .
you know Roy I never bothered with the rear clutch bell I left it alone / I built a aerox big bore kitted ped for my son a few years back wasn't convinced adjustable clutches etc gave it any gains tasso are doing remaps for the RA limitless and the works . I will be reviewing the work very soon so worth a watch
Hi yes they can Adam has been developing these for over 5 years since RA Launch and has developed multiple upgrades for them . He is on Facebook Adam Tassoman . Thanks Steve.
yeah easy only tricky bit is utilising what you've got to fasten the rear of the exhaust to the frame . I ended up with bits leftover lol . enjoy they look great
Where's the ecu remap? I've saw you had it on fb. I'm waiting on it. It's between gts or the django, it's just the fact I've seen a few where 60 standard doesn't seem possible.
