Finally back - T5 ORIGINAL PIAGGIO exhaust systems

big5277The original T5 exhaust from Piaggio is back!

"The classic, not a bad choice for the tuning cylinder either."

The original exhaust of the PX / T5 models is unbeatable in terms of quality. Very thick sheet metal and neat workmanship justify the higher price compared to the replica systems.

It is also interesting how well the original exhaust performs in a direct comparison of performance. Compared to a hand-made resonance system, it lacks up to 4 kW of peak power, but it is in the Bandwidth absolute favorite. If you want to build a touring engine that will drive from here to Timbuktu, you will hardly be able to get past the original exhaust. In many cases, maximum ground clearance and very low consumption are factors that should not be underestimated.

Conclusion: The classic, not a bad choice for the tuning cylinder either.

Nürburgring 2008 Cologne course scooter race at the Nürburgring

, , , ,

Scooter races on the Nürburgring - Historic scooters on the Grand Prix track!

That was on May 3rd and 4th, 2008 Scooter Center team once again at the racing highlight of the year for historic scooters - the 18th Cologne course of the MSC-Porz.

This traditionally takes place at the beginning of May on the Grand Prix track of the Nürburgring. After the technical inspection and driver briefing on Saturday
Team 667 from Düsseldorf showed a video in their box that was recorded in 2006. Really a great film - thrilling and funny, a little history and a lot of racing flair.
Interested parties can order the film here: http://team667.sideclick.de/main.html

Sunday morning we went to the racetrack for the first training session - the fastest drivers quickly emerged and the Scooter-Center team was able to put 3 drivers on the front row.

At 14.30 p.m. the call for the scooter class came!
Christian Schneider (Scooter Center) and our 2 English drivers (Team Scooter Center / per porting),
Harry Barlow and Andy Beadnell stood side by side in front of the rest of the field of 55 scooter riders.

After a rapid start, the material-devastating battle on the Grand Prix track began - in every speed class every place was lost
fought. After 10 rounds the winner was certain: Our tuning legend Harry Barlow from the team Scooter Center / Pro Porting won ahead of Jonas Junge
from Kürten and Andy Beadnell.

A fantastic racing weekend with unbelievably good weather, many old acquaintances and new friends - a complete success for us!
Definitely again next year!

Hammmerzombie - new series - 7110007

Bleeder screw for brake calipers

, ,
[inspic = 59, left, fullscreen, thumb] Simply brilliant! By opening the screw by half a turn, the brake line can be bled in seconds. The constant opening and closing between pumping processes is no longer necessary. This means that one person can bleed the brake system. The annual brake fluid change only takes a few minutes.

[inspic = 60, left, fullscreen, thumb] [inspic = 78, leftclear, fullscreen, thumb]

The spring-loaded ball and the O-ring sealed thread guarantee an absolutely clean working process without brake fluid dripping onto painted components.

The main body of the bleeder screw remains firmly in the brake calliper, so that the brake calliper can no longer be damaged by the usual “open-close” during bleeding.

The vent screw has been tested by the TüV and can be used in all brake systems (including ABS). In addition to Formula 1, this useful system is already used in aviation and shipping.
