Tv175 series 2 barrel

[Patricks3179]

Hi could anyone recommend a standard tv175 series 2 set up, I know it's going to be impossible to find a 175 barrel are there any other decent barrels or is the only option to rebore a 150

[TV Times 2]

When sorting out the problems with my S3 my mate bought a 175 kit before I had chance to source one and along with a new TV175 piston it worked fine.

I was going to look for something other than Indian for better quality but it's OK.

[Patricks3179]

Thanks for the reply yeah think I'll try one of the Indian kits. Anyone know what the beedspeed or af rayspeed 175 kits are like ?

Hi Patricks I have a A F Rayspeed Ali 175 kit on a 150 series 2, done 3K. miles with no problems including last years coast 2 coast both ways.

The Ali barrel has an iron liner, running in advice from A F is 1K miles.

regards phil

Thanks phill I'm going to e mail af rayspeed , what carb and exhuast did you set yours up with ? Thanks patrick

[phil99]

Hi Patrick when you email A F Rayspeed ask what carb and exhaust they would recomend for the performance you want.

my series 2 has 28mm phbh delorto ramair filter 42mm A F clubman,they were on the scoot when i purchased it 4 years ago.

Good luck with your choice of kit keep us posted. phil

Hi Patrick,
The best thing to do is contact Jason @ saxsonscooters, he will give you the full speck, and answer all your questions on the kit.

I've been running one of the AF 175 conversion kits for about 10 years it's been reliable all that time. I've got it on a 30mm Delorto with a PM. The kit just bolted on with no port timing issues. The last big trip i've done on that motor was to Austria last year 700 miles in two days. I had it Dyno'd last year before the euro and it was siting at 12bhp after the Dyno I did open up the exhaust port to increase the top speed. My sat nav was sitting at 65mph when I was overtaking lorries on the auto barn
