Scootopia mounts

Postby pat12966 » Sun Oct 16, 2016 10:35 am

HI, they were fitted to a standard innocenti GP 200. They were new so, I left them on .I had the engine rebuild & then last week when I went for a ride for the first time, I did not go over 45mph as the vibrations were too muchi! It was horrible to ride & I could not wait to get home. I have now replaced them with uni 3 hole mounts, it has transformed the scooter

Had mine on for 2k miles, they improve a lot after around 500 miles. I tend to get most vibrations at around 45-50 mph, but over that speed don't feel any

As above. They seemed to sort themselves out after about 500miles on a Mugello 186 engine

Perhaps the vibrations alter the molecular structure of the rubber :)

Any type of rubber mount whether engine/ gearbox/ two/ four wheels goes softer with age and use, the scootopia mounts would most likely have been fine after a few hundred miles or so and with their harder compound will also most likely outlast others with a softer make up..

What mounts are you using on your combo? I'm using the RLC sidecar mounts, now that are super hard and vibrations are mental with these, I did fit some bubble grips which have helped but I would struggle to ride any real distance....but maybe these will settle after a few thousand miles

I use the AF double on the r/h side and a SIL one on the left. I had thought about the RLC when I change but am pleased with your feedback.

Fitted Scootopia engine mounts to my SX. The vibration was noticeable instantly. Have ran it for 700 miles now and they are shaking my scooter to bits. I have ran it hoping they would improve with time but sadly not. Scooter is apart now for a refurb and those mounts are coming out. :(
