In the fourth part of our little blog series we make the following changes to our test engine:
The cylinder is attached at the foot with two 1mm Spacers increased by a further 2mm compared to level 0.5. This changes the steering angle of the transfer channels from 124° to 126°. The outlet is adjusted to a control angle of 190° by milling. To do this, the outlet in the cylinder was raised by 1.8mm. The outlet width remains unchanged at 57%.
The first attempts are made with the Elron
A little more nervous exhaust systems would show a clear shift in the direction of performance with the changes made, but the Elron is almost unimpressed by the specifications of the cylinder and retains control over the characteristics of the engine. A slight increase in the maximum values after the decimal point only indicates that the Elron has noticed that the cylinder is sending a clearer signal through the exhaust. However, the maximum torque remains at the same level as in the first construction stage.
The available speed range is reduced by 500 rpm to 3540 rpm.
Polini box
As a box exhaust, the Polini exhaust system reacts more as expected. Similar to the Elron, the can from Italy only shows small reactions. The lower effective compression makes the curve dip a bit in the rise between 4000 rpm and 6200 rpm. The system converts the slightly increased time cross-section at the outlet window with a gain of just over one horsepower at peak.
The maximum torque remains the same at 35.2Nm and is only shifted by a few hundred revolutions in the direction of higher speeds.
With a bandwidth of 3800 revolutions, the Polini system is slightly behind stage 2, but this test shows that the box does not necessarily prefer the very small steering angle. In a direct comparison to stage 1, the bandwidth and maximum values have increased significantly.
JL left hand / JL performance
Our test subject had a short break in the previous construction stage due to appointments away from home; but now plays again in the third construction stage. So here is the comparison between levels 1 and 2.
This also shows how clearly an exhaust can behave when it is operated from other steering angles. The JL, which is considered good-natured, turns out to be a very approachable partner in the search for performance.
At the top, the JL provides almost five and a half more horses and climbs over the 36PS line in the graph. The torque remains at 32.6Nm at the same level as in the first attempt. However, the torque extends over a much wider range - beyond 7000rpm. The performance peak is reached with 36.4PS at 8400rpm. The JL falls below the 25 HP line considered in the bandwidth only beyond 9600 rpm and can therefore not be described as a lazy speed. In general, the graph shifts significantly in the direction of higher speeds. With a bandwidth of only 3400 revolutions, the JL even lags behind the Elron and brings up the rear in terms of bandwidth in this construction stage.
Scooter and Service Newline
The edgy powerhouse from the north feels really comfortable in this expansion stage and takes two best values with it.
There are no notable changes in the rise in the newline, but it does quite a bit due to the larger advance angle in the engine speed range. With 37.3Nm, it takes the top position in terms of torque in the third construction stage. The available speed range is narrower compared to the previous tests, but here too the Newline achieves a range of 4000 revolutions. With these values, considerations germinate after a longer primary with 24-60 ...
Nessie
Like the Elron, the sea monster from Posch Performance is not quite sure what to do with the changed control angles. Maximum torque remains the same and peak power increases by one horsepower. While the Nessie was still way ahead in level 1 with 4300 rpm in terms of bandwidth, the available speed range in level three is a bit on the dip station and is in the upper midfield with 3700 rpm.
Racing Resi
The Racing Resi taste the changes better. Rather devoted to the higher control angles, the Resi develops one more horsepower at the top and adds torque, which hardly affects the bandwidth on the 25hp line. In absolute terms, the Resi holds the position of the highest peak power with 38.9 hp in this level. We are slowly approaching the 40hp mark with the expansion stages.
Lakers
With 126° to 190°, the Lakers are not yet playing in their comfort zone. Although it also clearly converts the changed control angles into performance. With 38.4 hp at the top, it is only just behind the Resi. With a speed range of 3700 rpm, which already extends to 10.100 rpm, the Lakers shows where the journey can go with suitable peripherals.
Here is an overview of the results. Best values are highlighted in green.
Big Evo racing cylinder POLINI Alu 152ccm / Evolution membrane Vespa Smallframe
The new Polini BIG EVO! Here we have the classic one 133 Polini racing cylinder presented. If that's not enough for you, there is now one Polini BIG EVO for the Vespa Smallframe. This modern racing cylinder means full 152 tsp for the original series engine housing the Vespa Smallframe-Models such as V50, 50N, PV, ET3, PK etc. So you don't need an extra motor housing!
30HP + tuning set for original engines
With a Ø60mm bore and 54mm stroke, as well as very ambitious control angles straight out of the box, the Polini is a serious opponent for the racetrack.
Based on the very successful Polini EVO 133, Polini has put together a great package that is designed for performance above the 30HP was created!
Data of the Vespa Polini tuning kit
- Bore: Ø60mm
- Hub: 54mm
- Displacement: 152cc
- Crush dimension: 1 ± 0,1mm
- Connecting rod length: 105mm
- Verdichtungsverhältnis: 14,2: 1
- Piston running play: 0,07 - 0,08mm
- Outlet shape: two-part
- Outlet angle: 194 °
- Overcurrent angle: 130 °
- Preignition: 20 °
- Spindle dimension left crankcase: Ø89,5 x 22,4mm
- Spindle dimension right crankcase: Ø89,5 x 15,8mm
INTAKE FITTING
The Polini kit contains the complete intake tract, consisting of:
large membrane inlet, intake manifold and connecting rubber. The 6-flap membrane is equipped with 0.4mm thick plate material. The intake manifold is intended for use with a Ø34mm carburetor cross section (carburetor connection width of the rubber is Ø44-45mm). Modifications in the area of the frame cutout for the carburetor may be necessary.
PISTON
The Polini tuning set for Vespa relies on the well-known Asso piston of the Polini Aprilia AF1 kits, like the ones from FALC Racing is used in its 153cc cylinder (we can offer the very high-quality Ø60mm Wössner piston from Overrev very much).
CRANKSHAFT
Any shaft with a stroke of 54mm and a connecting rod length of 105mm can be used as the crankshaft.
The connecting rod length not only benefits the better connecting rod ratio, but also reduces the necessary housing adjustments for the overcurrent channels to a minimum.
SPINDLES
The motor housing must be spindled with a 54mm stroke for the required crankshaft.
CYLINDER HEAD
In addition to the conventional screw connection, the cylinder head is screwed onto the continuous (longer, enclosed) cylinder stud bolts with 4 screws.
Recommended accessories / setup:
- Crankshaft: P2100070 or comparable (54 / 105mm)
- Exhaust system: P2000416 or similar
- Ignition: P1710554 or similar
- Dynamic ignition timing (with ignition P1710554): 4,8mm in front of the upper one
- Piston dead center at 4500 rpm
- Spark plug: NGK BR9EG or comparable
CONCLUSION:
Very interesting alternative for normal engine cases to the often unavailable FALC Racing cylinder. If you are looking for performance in the range well above 25PS, you will find it here!

Polini 133 racing cylinder available!
This is a classic one Polini racing cylinder for the Vespa Smallframe Models PV / ET3 / PK / XL / XL2 models, except PK automatic.
This tuning cylinder is the revised version of the legendary 133 Polini and offers a plug & play high durability with a lot of torque.
But the cylinder also offers a lot of potential for ambitious tuning of your Vespa beyond the 20PS. If that's not enough: Polini 152 Big Evo cylinder
The main innovation of this "racing version" compared to the classic 133 relates to the cylinder head, which is made of cast aluminum with a high silicon content. In addition, the head has additional cooling fins on the underside. This means that the heat is dissipated much better, both from the cylinder itself and from the head. The compression was also slightly adjusted.
The copper seal not only conducts heat better, it also contributes to a significantly better seal between the cylinder and the head.
The layout of the cylinder is unchanged and is determined by the six transfer ports. The ASSO piston is made of die-cast, which gives it very good durability and low weight.
With a 57 mm bore, 51 ccm with a 130 shaft and an impressive 54 cc with a 138 shaft are available.
Racing cylinder of the K5 in the ESC
The cylinder is used unchanged in the ESC (European Scooter Challenge) in the K5 class very successfully in races and has "put" around 15 hp.
We already had this cylinder, extremely revised, with 30 HP on the test bench!

This is the original press release from Polini about the cylinder:
POLINI CYLINDER KIT FOR VESPA 125 PRIMAVERA ET3 WITH NEW CYLINDER HEAD:
RACING GENERATION Polini Motori has revised the popular cylinder kit for the Vespa 125 Primavera ET3. This is now also available as a RACING version with a specially developed cylinder head for better cooling. The cylinder head itself is also available individually. TECHNICAL DATA: The cylinder is made of cast iron with lamellar graphite. As a result, it has a self-lubricating effect and is very resistant to mechanical loads. This reduces the working temperature and prevents possible loss of performance. The cylinder has a 57mm bore and 6 overflow channels. The piston is made of chill cast light metal with a high silicon content and has two “S10” chrome-plated piston rings. The aluminum cylinder head is equipped with two fins, which dissipate the heat better. Cooling and compression ratio are optimized. The new copper seal prevents gas from escaping between the cylinder and cylinder head and facilitates heat exchange.
Vespa GTS conversion, tuning -> Vespa GTS custom scooter
Before we get to the Vespa GTS conversions come, first a little review:
The Vespa has been a collector's item since the 50s, which the owner has always liked to individualize. To convert the Vespa, accessories and add-on parts such as mirrors, crash bars, speedometers, badges, anti-theft devices, decorative strips, heated handles, child seats, pillion seats, fuel displays and chrome accessories from manufacturers such as Ardor, Appel, Ulma and Vigano were installed.
In the 80's
In England germinates with Mods and scooter boys a movement that soon spills over the canal to Germany and the rest of Europe and will cast its spell over it.
Vespa / Piaggio itself now offers a range of accessories.
There's no arguing about taste! Some people went overboard in the wild 80s and screwed everything on their Vespa that the aftermarket had to offer.
The 90s and 2000s
That is the birth of the Scooter Centers: 1992. The Scooter scene is at its zenith in Germany and Europe. Thousands meet on the weekend Scooter meeting = scooter runs, such as the SCOOTERDIVE and many other events to celebrate the vehicles, the music, yourself and your lifestyle.
Find it "Custom shows”Instead, in the off-season these are independent events with a previous and / or subsequent party = nighter. The elaborately converted scooters will be exhibited at the Scooter Customshow and assessed by a jury. The biggest custom shows were, for example, in Hamburg, Munich or the Extravaganza in the Ruhr area and, of course, since 2008 ours too Scootershow in Cologne.
Today: 2020 Modern Vespa models
To date, not much has changed: The modern Vespa is more powerful and engine tuning may become a bit more complex due to the introduction of digital engine control, but the urge for individualization and optimization of the Vespa is unbroken. Not without reason: Vespa has regularly topped the motorbike sales list for years, so of course you want to stand out from the crowd! And the chassis of the Vespa GTS, for example, has significant potential for optimization. Not for nothing, our bgm PRO shock absorbers are for them GTS test winner and bestsellers. LED indicators and LED headlights for GTS & Co are also often converted.
In our Vespa shop we offer you with our own brands bgm and MOTO NOSTRA and selected accessories and tuning suppliers (such as Piaggio, bgm, Moto Nostra, Malossi, Polini, Remus, Scorpion, Akrapovic, Leo Vince, HD Corse, Power 1, a wide range of tuning and accessories for your modern Vespa GTS, Primavera or Sprint .
Do you already know our specials catalogs?
Then as now, there are of course stages of customization. You can do a lot yourself, but if you are talking about an extreme custom project, you are well advised to turn to a professional. As for example with our partner Cafe Racer 69 from Berlin:
Cafe Racer 69
The Cafe Racer 69 in Berlin do you get one professional customization of your Vespa. As already said, even with the current Vespa models, be it 125 or 300, Vespa GTS or Vespa Primavera & Vespa Sprint, there is still a lot of room for optimization in the series state. Also because the creative Berlin team of us with, for example bgm & Moto Nostra is supplied, you can assume that only the highest quality parts will be installed!
- Engine power,
- Drive,
- Suspension
- Brakes,
- Painting
- etc.
The Berliners also offer queens Optic tuning Your Vespa on. The purely visual changes can, for example
- Powder coated
- Attachments,
- Moldings,
- Fittings,
- benches
- etc.
Vespa GTS tuning with TÜV
Our bgm PRO Shock absorber for Vespa GTS are of course TÜV approved. For changes to the chassis, brakes and rims, adjustments to the axle mounts are sometimes necessary. This adjustment for a roadworthy seat without track offset and adjustment of ABS & ASR generally require a technical approval by an expert (DEKRA, TÜV) and can be done at Cafe Racer 69 .

POLINI ROAD BOX Vespa PX now available again
The Polini Road Box exhaust is now available again for small and large engines:
This Polini exhaust for Vespa is a very good alternative to the outdated SIP Road. The Polini surpasses the SIP Road across the entire speed range, both in terms of power and torque. The early and high use of torque make the Polini Box a ideal tour companion. The well thought-out construction of the exhaust system makes it possible to permanently maintain the low and pleasant noise level of the system.
Of course, we tested the exhaust ourselves and drove many kilometers with it. The quality and fit is good, even the exhaust paint on the manifold lasts longer than average. Harmonizes very well with that BGM177 cylinder.
TIPP: The Carburetor jets Choose approx. 2-3 sizes larger than a SIP Road
FOR VESPA PX ONLY?
The exhaust was designed specifically for the Vespa PX models. On older vehicles that were built before the PX series, ist es möglich that the stop tab of the main stand touches the manifold. In our experience, they only touched the angle plate of the main stand on Vespa Sprint, Rally and Co. very lightly.
bgm BigBox - a good choice!
Our bgm BigBox Of course, it always fits PX and the Touring also fits rally, sprint & Co. and is often not just for these oldtimers great alternative. Choose between the Big Box Touring or Big Box Sports, depending on the engine concept and characteristics.

Hello, my name is Maryzabel!
I am a trainee at Scooter Center. I come from Colombia and take you on my big and small adventures in the blog, take a look behind the scenes with you Scooter Center and take you to scooter meetings.
2. My first week
In my first week as a trainee, I got to know the details of the process from ordering to goods registration in the respective departments. Scooter Center not only markets its own brands like: BGM and Moto Nostra, but also more than 300 brands such as: Malossi, Polini, Pinasco, Piaggio and other major brands and manufacturers of scooter parts.
My tasks were to reorder products with modern IT systems depending on the inventory and demand. The receipt of goods, the addition of new products to the system and also the packaging and storage. With so many different parts I've had to deal with, how can so many parts fit on our little scooter?
From the base like Cylinder and carburettor from bearings, seals to all body parts such as entire frame sets or side panels and fenders, all the smallest screws, washers, nuts, split pins up to the accessories, original, restoration, tuning, customizing. Madness what it's all im Scooter Center Warehouse and in Scootershop gives.
Sooner or later, we scooter drivers come into contact with the parts on our scooter. Either planned and “just” for fun: Customizing or tuning, but if it goes stupid with a breakdown, in the middle of the country road. Good to know that you are with the Scooter Center have a partner who can help you quickly and cheaply with the necessary parts and service.
ALL YOU NEED
What I know is that so many parts are enough to fill meters, square meters and cubic meters of this huge warehouse over 3 floors and to fill the online shop with tons of data via a modern IT system.
What I also know for sure is that I can build a great Vespa from scratch with the parts from the Scooter Center Be able to build camps. I could build my dream scooter without worry, because in addition to the parts, operating instructions and all the necessary tools are available directly from stock.
I can assure you and have seen it myself. The Scooter slogan applies perfectly: ALL YOU NEED

Vespa models - new colors, less power and a lot of lifestyle
We had changes to the engine (Euro 4) in the exhibition news of Intermot in Cologne already discussed. In Milan, Piaggio is showing new colors and a lot of lifestyle.
A special model of the Vespa GTS 300 Super in green metallic with aluminum applications in CNC style, e.g. cascade, fender nipples. Interesting cascade with an even more interesting horn section - opinions will differ on this ;-)
More deets: Bitubo shock absorber in front, only for the trade fair or series? In any case, the adjustable levers are standard! CNC footrests, mirrors in CNC design, new oil control screw and vario cover.
Personally, I like the Vespa Seigiorni very much. Piaggio thus ties in with the early 50s, because sports models of the Vespa have been produced parallel to the series vehicles since 1947. The Vespa Sport, known as the “Sei Giorni” after the model that had great success in the 1951 international regularity race of the same name. An original Vespa Sei Giorni is incredibly valuable.
Dell'Orto
DellOrto has been the standard supplier for the Italian motorcycle and scooter industry since 1933. Dell'Orto was the largest supplier of two-wheeled carburetors in Europe from the 1960s to the 1980s; today the company works closely with Bosch and Mikuni. At the Scooter Center of course you get all available DellOrto carburetors and DellOrto spare parts such as nozzles, carburetor needles and slides quickly and cheaply.
Scomadi
The Scomadi with 300cc was never realized. Rumors say Piaggio has refused to supply 300cc engines to a competitor product. Today a prototype with me 400ccm. At the moment everyone at Scomadi is very busy, we will try to find out later which engine is being installed.

Inside Polini
Part 3 of our trip to Italy takes place in Bergamo near Polini.
1. Rimini Lambretta Center 20th Anniversary Open Day / Rimini
2. Try Cromate Scooter Club Ride Out / Rimini
3. Polini factory tour / Bergamo
4. Casa Lambretta and Lambretta Museum visit / Milan
We still completely flashed from the Rimini weekend on the fourth day of our trip to Italy two more highlights on the program:
- Visit to POLINI in Bergamo
- Visit of the Lambretta Museum by Vittorio Tessera followed by a quick check of the new CASA LAMBRETTA parts
Scooter Center visits POLINI in Bergamo
Polini is known for Vespa tuning parts as well as scooter and motorcycle motorsport. The high-performance, high-quality tuning products are available from Scooter Center at a great price / performance ratio: POLINI scooter shop
The roots of the Family business lie in a small one Bicycle manufacture in Bologna. After World War II, Polini Battista originally built bicycles. During our visit we got to know his sons and grandchildren who run the company today very successful continue.
The video
A real Picture book family business. We meet at least three generations of the family who work in a wide variety of positions in the company. We were introduced to a different family member at almost every corner. You are working in the company as Engineers and designers, photographers, designers and managers.
Today only the plaque and a few old pictures at the entrance to the Polini headquarters remind of this origin. Today Polini has nothing to do with bicycles. Almost nothing, because Polini wouldn't be Polini if she wasn't even one Would tune e-bikes...
A tuning kit for e-bike motors such as Bosch or Panasonic with a remarkable performance from 25 to 50 km / h has recently been available.
But now back to real motorsport.
Cup handover Customshow
We were really looking forward to the meeting because Polini is one of ours main suppliers and one of the oldest business partner. Polini supports us in ours Scooter Center custom show SCOOTERSHOW from the beginning. So it was high time, now for the 8th year, to finally be there, personally and with a current one Customshow Cup thank you for that.
The family showed us the entire sacred halls, from development to laboratories with stress tests, several performance test benches, workshop, assembly halls to warehouse and logistics.
We were very impressed with the size and above all about the very open and warm, sympathetic nature with which we were received.
But you know us, the long way has to be worth it, that's how it came about the business Not too short:
In the future we will expand our Polini product range even more, for example:
Polini CP - carburetor
We have had them in our range for a long time: The Polini CP carburettors.
Word has already got around here that this very easy to tune carburetor on too Vespa Smallframe and Lambretta excellent The range of application is limited, however, as only the following sizes are available: 17,5 / 19/21/23/24 (Evolution).
Polini in-house development, MADE in ITALY. PWK - nozzles fit!
Polini brake pads
The brake pads are used in the Polini Cup races and other racing companies and the drivers are enthusiastic.
Polini brake pads suitable for your scooter you will get from yours soon Scooter Center Scooter shop

Thank you POLINI
At this point, too, many thanks again to Roberta and the Polini family, we know that they check our blog from time to time :-)
Pictures POLINI
The photos from our visit to POLINI
Malossi follows suit: after Polini some time ago reinforced shaft sealing rings in PTFE / FPM brought to market offers Malossi now also has a large selection of these “Wedis”
More resistant to mechanical and thermal loads
For engines that are more speed-oriented and thermally stressed, these low-friction shaft seals are a real benefit!
The PTFE (also called Teflon ©) sealing lips of these shaft seals are very resistant to mechanical and, above all, thermal loads. While the normal shaft seals made of NBR can only reach a temperature of 100 ° or 120 ° can withstand, the PTFE shaft seal are with a load capacity of over 150 ° significantly more resistant.
Available for many models, make sure you have a good crankshaft!
Malossi offers for a lot of Vespa and automatic engines PTFE shaft seals. However, you should pay attention to the combination of the shaft seal and the paired crankshaft. The reason for this is that the PTFE sealing lips are relatively tough compared to the normal NBR versions. So with the crankshafts you should Models with better material To fall back on. Polini crankshafts are case-hardened, and our bgm crankshafts oppose the die-forged 25CrMo4 and thus easily withstand the PTFE shaft seals. Mazzucchelli offers crankshafts in tough K2D Material.
Polini 221cc cylinder
Update: Malossi MHR 221ccm cylinder for Vespa PX 200 available Malossi MHR 221ccm cylinder
As with the new one Malossi Sport and MHR cylinders , we also dedicate ourselves to the details of the Polini 221cc cylinder for 60mm stroke crankshafts. We had already measured timing & co for the Polini 221 cylinder for the Vespa here: Polini 221ccm 60mm long stroke.
compression
The one included in the cylinder kit cylinder head is also with the current Polini 210cc used. Polini regulates the adjustment of the compaction simply by changing the pinch edge.
So let's grab the head and give it a suitable one Long thread spark plug and simply apply grease as a seal for our plexiglass instrument.
With the Plexiglas plate in place, we fill the cylinder head with the burette in order to determine the exact cylinder head volume.
The meniscus remains in our burette at 25ml. The volume of the combustion chamber in the cylinder head is therefore 25ccm.
To get the entire combustion chamber volume (Vc), we still need the volume of the domed piston crown. With a defined piston backing, in our case 6mm, we first calculate the volume of this “cylinder”.
6,85 x 6,85 x 0,785 x 0,6 = 22,1ccm so is the volume.
Also sealed with grease and filled with lamp oil in a playful delicate rose, the burette reveals a value of 14,6ccm. So 22,1 - 14,6 = 7,5ccm for the Volume of the piston crown.
The last ingredient is missing Volume of the pinch edge. Measured directly on the living object, i.e. directly on the engine, this is 2,2mm, which in turn has a volume of 8,1ccm requirements.
Combustion chamber volume
So we come to a total combustion chamber volume of:
Cylinder head 25ccm + pinch edge 8,1ccm - piston bottom 7,5ccm
= 25,6ccm
compression ratio
Does this result in a compression ratio? from
Cylinder displacement 221ccm + combustion chamber volume 25,6ccm / combustion chamber volume 25,6ccm
= 246,6ccm / 25,6ccm
? = 9,63
Polini 221ccm cylinder put to the test
Here is another example of the Polini 221 based on a customer engine.
So Polini 221cc, Polini crankshaft 60mm stroke, Dellorto PHBH 28, Polini intake manifold for rotary valve and ours bgm BigBox. With the original cylinder base seal, control angles of 120 ° / 170 ° result. For more information, see the diagram below.
For a motor that is only plugged together, i.e. has not undergone any machining of the channel surfaces, 26Nm is a reasonable amount of torque. Especially when power and torque are available that early.
At 4000 rpm, 20Nm are already available, which is at least twice the value that an original PX200 reaches as a maximum.
Depending on the gearbox setting and application preferences, one can confidently longer primary can be used to achieve a solid cruising speed at low speeds on the motorway. The low-vibration running of the Polini crankshaft then contributes to the rest of the comfortable journey ...
120km / h cruising speed
With this motor and a longer reduction ratio should permanent 120km / h to be possible. Here ** as an example, once with the original gearbox and once with our bgm Superstrong clutch and DRT pinion extended by one tooth on the original primary of the PX200 with 65 teeth.
Since there are still 7000PS at 20rpm, it is possible to crack the often cited 120Km / h mark.
** The gear calculator "GearCalc" was kindly made available to us by GSF member Motorhead. Thanks very much!
Cylinder -POLINI 221 cc aluminum, 60mm stroke- Vespa PX200, Rally200
Article no. P1400084 http://www.scooter-center.com/product/P1400084
From now on is the new one Polini 221cc Vespa cylinder available from us.
What's new?
- suitable for 60mm stroke (long stroke shaft)
- reinforced outlet with steel ring
- massive, centered cylinder head with large cooling surface
- also fits E-start engines
Dimensions and data:
- Cylinder height 99,7mm
- Outlet height 39,2mm
- Overcurrent height 50,2mm
- Support channel height 53mm
- Cylinder base gasket 0,25mm
- Cylinder head gasket 0,25mm
- Outlet chord 36,8mm
- Compression ratio 10,2: 1 (with QK 2mm)
We took a closer look at the Polini 221ccm cylinder for you.
Solid cylinder head
At first glance, it impresses massive cylinder head. Equipped with additional cooling fins on the underside, it ensures sufficient heat dissipation at all times, even with engine concepts that are subject to high thermal loads. The spark plug thread is designed for long threads, i.e. a B9ES or Bosch W3CC for NGK.
Precise centering thanks to centering pins
It also has centering holes together with the cylinder. With the included centering pins, the pinch edge can be set safely and precisely.
Reinforced outlet nozzle
You can find another nice detail on the outlet nozzle.
Here the sensitive aluminum socket is reinforced by a resistant steel ring.
The steel ring effectively protects the sensitive aluminum nozzle from damage by exhaust systems that are fastened with a clamp. Exhaust systems suspended by springs no longer “gnaw” off the exhaust port.
Suitable for engines with an electric starter
A little trick in the truest sense of the word adorns the outside of the right overcurrent duct.
With the 221, Polini offers one of the few cylinders available on the market that can be installed and driven with an electric starter without any changes.
Measurement results
Here are the usual ones Scooter Center - Measurement results:
Height cylinder: 99,7mm
Outlet height (from OK): 39,2mm
Overcurrent duct height (from OK): 50,2mm
Support channel height (from upper edge): 53mm
The piston residue is 2,0mm with the included cylinder base gasket
This results in the following control angles:
Outlet 168 °; Overcurrent 120 °; Support channel 104 °
Compression ratio and combustion chamber volume:
In order to determine the combustion chamber volume and thus the compression ratio, we rented out the cylinder head and determined the volume of the dome of the piston crown.
The combustion chamber volume of the head is 24,9ccm.
The volume of the elevation of the piston crown is 8,1 cm³
With a piston residue of 2mm and the resulting squishy edge (without the enclosed cylinder head gasket 0,25mm), the compression ratio is 10,2: 1
Based on the moderate control angle and the combustion chamber design, together with the Polini crankshaft, we would expect an engine with good running smoothness and a lot of torque in the lower to medium speed range.
We are excited to see when you will put the first real Polini 221ccm on our test bench!
Polini 221cc Vespa cylinder now cheap at Scooter Center Kaufen.
Polini 210 goes Polini 221 long stroke! - Scooter Center - Version -
We wanted him from Polini and reported about it in 2011. Now the Polini 221 long stroke is finally here! From Monday, July 29, 2013 at Scooter Center ScootersHope deliverable
Cylinder -POLINI 221 long stroke aluminum, 60mm stroke- Vespa PX200, Rally200
The “old” Polini 207 gray cast iron cylinder is a feared opponent thanks to its enormous torque, but due to the material used, it is not considered to be thermally very durable.
Thanks to the new Polini 210 Alu, this shortcoming is now a thing of the past. Due to the significantly better thermal properties of the hard-coated aluminum cylinder, the kit now runs thermally much more stable than its older cast iron counterpart. If the version for the standard hub of 57mm has already become a real bestseller, Polini is finally laying it at our request a version for the use of a long stroke shaft with 60mm stroke according to! This results in a whopping 221ccm, more than enough to get around quickly with a vehicle that usually weighs less than 100kg.
Overcurrent channels
The channel design of the cylinder was also adopted here from the well-known cast iron cylinder, but the control angles have been slightly changed / extended.
Performance
If the cylinder with 210ccm is already good for almost 15 HP and 20 Nm of torque on the rear wheel, the long-stroke variant adds several coals. The lower area, which is already very strong, is reinforced again, and the power peak and the band are expanded upwards.
Of course, the cylinder reacts with even more power to further expansion stages.
-Setup
Depending on the purpose, ours is recommended here
- Polini 221 long stroke cylinder
- the new Polini 60mm crankshaft
- Carburetor SI26if the original carburetor pan is to be retained.
- Clutch Made inb Germany The Clutch: bgm superstrong
- Exhaust bgm BigBox Vespa - available from September
And finally ...
The Polini is the tractor among the conversion cylinders. Its full torque and the good pulling power predestine this cylinder for the long tour as well as for the next traffic light duel! Now even stronger with an extra 10ccm!
Short facts:
- Bore: 68,5mm
- Stroke: 60mm
- Connecting rod length: 110mm (series)
- Displacement: 221ccm
- Cylinder head: Included in delivery
- Piston: cast iron, 2 piston rings
- Special: crankshaft with 60mm stroke required
Attention:
Please always assemble piston rings carefully. Piston rings made of cast material are only elastic to a limited extent and break relatively quickly.
Some pistons have trapezoidally profiled piston rings (so-called keystone rings), these only fit in one installation position. If the ring does not move freely, please loosen it carefully and turn it back into place 'upside down'.

New Polini Vespa crankshaft
Polini Vespa crankshaft at Scooter Center arrived!
The brand new Polini crankshafts for the Vespa PX engines have just arrived.
Now available in Scooter Center Vespa shop. The is currently available Polini Vespa crankshaft for:
- Vespa PX200, stroke 57mm, 110mm connecting rod
- Vespa PX200, stroke 60mm, 110mm connecting rod
- Vespa PX125, stroke 57mm, 105mm connecting rod
In detail
We took a closer look at the new Polini Vespa crankshafts for you.
First of all, the shape of the rotary valve cheek is striking. Here was a lot of material out of the way.
The relative is also noticeable strong cutwhich ensures a very quick intake closure and does not propel mixture out of the crankshaft housing again via a ramp. In return, the window under the rotary valve surface has been carefully processed so that there is no excessive imbalance within one crank arm.
The PX125 and the PX200 Vespa crankshaft with 57mm stroke is equipped with a 22mm crank pin. The crank webs for 60mm stroke are connected by a 20mm crank pin to ensure sufficient material coverage.
The cutout on the rotary valve cheek determines the period in which the inlet is open.
On a current PX200 motor housing, we come to a value of 110 ° from above. up to 75 ° n.Ot.
Overall, you get a very sporty steering angle of 185 °.
With the PX125 crankshaft we were able to get the values 110 ° from top to bottom. and 63 ° nth with a Degree disc
determine.
Polini has not changed the width of the rotary valve surface and is based on the original at 17mm.
Polini advertises the crankshaft as “balanced”, ie balanced to minimize nasty vibrations.
Therefore, we first looked at the balance factor. As a test victim, the PX200
Use a crankshaft with a 57mm stroke.
On the roller block, the crankshaft oscillates almost at the 12 o'clock position.
The so-called balance factor allows conclusions to be drawn about the expected running smoothness.
If you would like to try something out with the balance factor, we have determined some values.
The translational part of the connecting rod weighs 60,25 grams
The pendulum weight, i.e. the mass that is attached to the connecting rod so that the crankshaft can be brought to a standstill in any position on the roller block, is 104,35 gr.
