You just gotta shell out somewhere in the range of $600-$2000 for new cases to get the benefit of an improved $10 part!

Fantastic idea. I hope Malossi do the same revision on their new casings.
Clutch side seals falling out on tuned scooters is such a big problem. Like a badge of honour. Is like you know when your scooter has achieved high bhp because the seal does actually fall out. This is way better than all the Loctite and dot punching to try to get a seal to hold. I have seen a few creative ways to hold them in with screws and brackets but don't have any pictures. If anyone has any post them up. |

I'm not knocking it. I'm just saying it sucks you gotta buy new engine cases to get that benefit!

Jack, how do you feel about the older style rubber seal for the P2? Does that lip on the seal and the groove in the casing that it locks into create a more stable fit than the metal seal? The reason I ask is that BGM has recently introduced a high quality FKM/Viton version of the old style rubber seal.

Also Malossi has new cases for 150 kits, with the updated iron cylinder that replaced the 166 kit! 63mm bore iron version of the aluminum mhr!

keep in mind that assembly is more rushed with this setup as you have to install the seal and then bearing before it cools back down.

The reason I ask is that BGM has recently introduced a high quality FKM/Viton version of the old style rubber seal. I have seen metal and rubber seals both come out. The rubber ones tend to do less damage when they do. Noticing early is so important. Can't believe they changed to this PX seal from what was in the GS. Own goal. |
