    Since the link provided doesn´t carry the old magazines anymore, do you maybe have an alternate link or idea where I could still get them? I did buy two magazines (#3 and #5) and really enjoyed them

      The issues are indeed offline. I am not sure if they will ever come back :-/

    Hi Daniel,

    My current setup: Piaggio L/C: Athena HPR Racing/Stage6 Racing 70cc cyl (untuned), Dell’Orto PHBG 21mm carb, Yasuni C16 exhaust.

    What would I need to get 18+ HP out of my setup?

    Hi Daniel. Thanks for the reply. For me this is a street setup. Where I live there’s not a lot of choices for cylinders & scooter parts, so I got what was available at the time and cheaper than the Malossi’s & Polini’s that are sold here. The cylinder I have is this one: http://www.adrenalin-pedstop.co.uk/p-Athena_HPR_Racing_70cc_cylinder_kit_for_Gilera_Runner_Zip_SP_etc-3861.aspx
    It is supposed to be identical to the Stage6 Racing, but without the modular head.

    I will probably be flowing the engine cases in the near future. Tuning the cylinder will be harder as I think I can clean up the ports, but do not feel confident enough to change port timing and there’s really no one I know well enough and trust to do this. I may look into an exhaust like you suggest and a bigger carb. Is there a particular reason you suggest a PWK 26mm minimum (the test setup above uses a 24mm VHST)?

    P.S. I’m already saving for the Stage6 R/T kit; probably the 70cc, as I don’t want to need to adapt the crankcase to the crankshaft.

    What’s your guess for the max hp’s from my current setup, with and without cylinder tuning?

    From what I gathered online, there isn’t a lot of hp to gain going from a 21mm to a 24mm carb, but there is a significant increase in fuel consumption!

    And I also notice that for street setups most riders stick to the C16 because of its favorable torque-hp characteristics; other exhausts may provide more, but they do so at higher revs, which is kind of impractical for everyday street use.

    I imagine you’re referring to the S-A shop in Germany… ;)

    After the appointed date a man arrived in an unmarked van and identified
    himself as the locksmith. Some of the locksmiths
    will offer emergency services for you, such as when you need a new key for your car.
    Locks that are built to last and are tough is essential to
    your security.

    Some of the recipes for the family cookbook will be large enough to supply
    food for a large party and other recipes will have just enough food in them
    to feed two people. You should have enough different pictures for each
    student to have at least five. It will be one of the
    hottest events in town ‘ a chic, mass pop-up picnic at a secret
    location where diners dress entirely in white.
