the brand is fine but i am skeptic about how long it will last and a oil cooler seems like a must and the crankshaft is also know to fail quickly when you have such a big bore on there i still wonder why they don't make special crankshafts which have a bit more counterweight because that's where it is all about heavier piston means the crank will be out of balance so the bearings have way more load on them. but yeah brand is fine but you will have to do some more to make it reliable their 72cc kit is great |

Yeah I'll consider the oil cooler. I'll look into the crankshaft. My old scooter had 1000+ miles with the 50mm bbk.

naraku is good quality but ive heard the head in that kit is kind of nasty. id get a scrappy bvh and a Taiwan made kit over the naraku if it were me. from the 3 bvh's ive bought the scrappys is by far the best

I'll keep that in consideration. Does the scrappydog have a 52.4mm bvh?

im not sure the exact diameter of the combustion chamber because the head is on the scoot now. its kicks butt with a 52mm. i bought a kit that came with a head, a glixal head and scrappys. jus by looking at them his blew the others out of the water, but for $25-30 the glixal 47mm bvh is pretty decent and works good with a 52mm bbk and no base gasket

How many miles do you have with the 52mm? I like the idea of more power with a 52mm but I'm concerned about the reliability. I've had over 1000 miles with my old scooter with the 50mm bbk before I traded in for a wolf V50. I wonder how long can the engine last with the Naraku 52.4mm bbk. I just want to spend good money on a bbk to not worry about it breaking down later on.

i dont really keep up with miles but i do ride alot of long distance commutes between towns. around 30 miles each way at WOT. ive had the one kit on for a month or so and the other 1 since april but it dont get rode much. try messaging dexameth he has a 52mm with bvh and 150 carb. he's probably cloked more miles than me and rides pretty hard too

Alright, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order the Naraku 52.4mm kit in the following weeks. Thanks everyone for their inputs.

Matt are you affiliated with partsforscooters? if so id like to ask you something about a hoca 52mm set up. i was going to contact pfs but if you work there talking to you would be even better😁 |
