JPN 195 project - Lambretta goes Charity

A few days ago, Japan's leading scooter magazine SCOOTER DAYS reported on our joint project. With that the story has become official and we want to give a brief overview here.

Taka from lambretta-magazine-japan.net will be responsible for implementing this. Along with MB Developments we will provide the parts for the project. Essentially, these are the complete bgm product range for the Lambretta.

Taka builds a demonstrator that he plans to put out for a test drive at Japanese meetings. Originally an Italian Series 2 was supposed to become the Rallymaster. Here the frame was unfortunately so ramshackle that it didn't fail because of it. Since a replacement was needed quickly, a SIL GP 200 officially imported to Japan is now being used. Special features of the GP 200 for the local market consisted primarily of the use of the SX steering head, a 4-way flashing system similar to the Jet models and a lying spare wheel.
Technically, the box should be brought up to date without losing its suitability for everyday use. The engine is trimmed with the Racetourkit from MB for the small block, the bgm crankshaft with 60 mm stroke and 110 mm Yamaha connecting rod, bgm 30 mm PWK carburetor and Clubman exhaust for a wide torque and low consumption. Hence the use of the MB membrane aspirator. BGM ignition and voltage regulators are used for the ultimate in reliability and versatility.
Chassis and brakes are also adapted to requirements. Gimmicks such as the navigation system at the DC output of the controller, rev counter, fuel gauge and one or two gimmicks round off the whole show.
After the terrible catastrophe, the decision was quickly made to auction the Lambretta for the benefit of the victims.

Scooter Meeting Japan

Big in Japan: Vespa & Lambretta Scooter Meeting

Scootering Scene Japan

Our good friend Taka Kitagawa organized a nice rally in a family atmosphere in the ISE SHIMA National Park in Japan.

After the first attempt was thwarted by a Typhoon, the time had finally come last weekend. Although winter is just around the corner in Japan, our friends were spoiled with mild temperatures and wonderful sunshine.

After the BIG RUMBLING meeting, the Skooter Ride Out is the second largest event in Japan. The response to the event was so positive that there will definitely be more people next year. And the prognosis is that it will become an integral part of the Japanese rune calendar.

Here is Taka's conclusion: "We are obtaining the feeling that SCOOTERING SCENE of Japan began to move. I have really moved deeply! Thank you SCOOTER CENTER!!! In the rias coast, SHIMA-CITY by which we did Rally is beautiful city. Nice Road, nice food and beautiful scenery! Scooter Scene of Japan received the off-season with our rally. "

If you look at the pictures, you will definitely want to sign it 100% and look forward to the rides and rallies of the next season.

Thanks for the pictures to Nao Sumii!

bgm 60 mm Vespa PX shaft -Race

bgm superchargedRacing timing - but correct!

With the bgm PRO Racing Wave there is finally a racing wave with reasonable timing. The times are 110 ° opening before top dead center and 65 ° closing after top dead center. This finally puts an end to the annoying blowback and the better filling can also be converted into performance. The inlet area of ​​the rotary valve cheek is flow-optimized and polished. The width of the rotary valve cheek is 17,4 mm, making it the only shaft on the market that offers the option of milling really large areas using the rotary valve control.

Tire warmers for scooter tires

, , , ,

Scootertuning Roller tuning tire warmersNew in Shop are bgm PRO tire warmer.

Tire warmers are a constant in motor racing. Whether Formula 1 or Moto GP - nobody can do without preheated tires.
The warm tires have immediate grip, on the circuit you can brake later and go deeper into the corners.
In the Quatermile, the dreaded wheelspin is avoided and the tire bites into the asphalt.

Functionality:
Silicone-coated heating wires warm the tires slowly, and therefore gently, to a temperature of 175 ° F (78-84 ° C). The tires have reached their optimum operating temperature after approx. 30 minutes.

bgm11059-04In the bgm Lambretta cure waves it is the best HPC (high primary compression) racing shafts.

This shaft has the standard stroke of 58 mm and the standard connecting rod length of 107 mm. This makes the shaft a direct replacement for all Lambretta series 1-3 shafts (with the exception of the TV 175 series 1, 2 and 3).

The balancing of this crankshaft is specially designed for the piston weight of the pistons used on the small engine blocks (up to 64 mm bore).

All bgm Shafts are forged. Both the crank webs and the connecting rod are forged. The connecting rod is also polished.

Crankshaft BGM Evolution II, 55mm stroke BGM038025

The time has come!

We can offer you the new BGM Evo crankshaft with a 55mm stroke.
Over 10 prototypes had to endure tests on the test bench and on the road until we were satisfied with the result.

  • the forged Kawasaki connecting rod with a length of 110mm combines low weight with high stability. The length improves the angle at which the force is applied to the bearings and reduces the mean piston speed.
  • lower connecting rod bearing with increased load capacity like from the Moto-GP area. The open needle cage reduces the friction and thus the heat build-up in the bearing.
  • For horizontal motors, a balance factor of 30% -40% is considered optimal. In the test, the balance factor of 37% in connection with a 172 Malossi piston brought the best results.
  • the crankshaft stub on the drive side has been changed, the structure is now 1-part.
  • incl. 5mm spacer
