hi new to the site .well i used to have a vespa px 125 kitted to a 166.
it was my first vespa and i loved it,but unfortunatly had to sell it.
so i ended up buying a pk125 ,and i must say love the machine.
its nice small and rides really well ,but is standard which is all well and good.
But i live in the countryside big hills and so on,ofwhich my old bike used to fly around.so i was to wondering would the 130 kit really give me any more poke than it is as standard would it be worth investing into or to leave standard.
would love to hear all advise ideas ,i have never done a modification myself on a vespa as yet ,but iam very capable of working on motorbikes.any help ideas appreiciated thanks

To fully utilize the 130 kit you need to port the engine block and maybe get a 24mm carb and a new exhaust. The higher compression and cc will give you more power but you will have to ride it at quite high rpm to hit the power band.

I have a 130cc Polini, JL exhaust, 24mm dellort with reed and upgraded transmission and it is a blast to ride once you rev it
