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

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.

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

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

Thanks phill I'd like to keep a Dellorto 20 mm carb on and try keep it pretty standard will post a blog when i start restoring it thanks for your help!!

Thanks stag ,, did the kits take much setting up and what's the quality like , how long running in thanks patrick

Hi Patrick,
The Bore/Piston Clearance has been professionally checked/honed to 0.003. I checked it all out and was spot on, quality is good. Running in about 300 to 500 miles. Hi is getting more kits in stock soon when I spook to him. I fully recommend this kit, so far so good, very happy.

Thanks stag , got married this weekend so been busy I'll drop him a message and be sure to mention you !!

Hi Patrick,
Congratulations on your marriage. All the best for the future. Going back to the kit a am very happy with it,so far so good as they say. I fitted another carb, Scootopia SH2/22 22mm. What a big difference the hole set up has made.
Good Luck
Stag

What sort of bhp do these kits give?

Cheers

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.
Cheers

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

Sorry Patrick,
Try this link, for some reason that other link is wrong.
