Looking for real good performance and an easy way to cut a couple of lbs. of so from your Minarelli scooter? Bang for the buck doesn't get any better than this. I'm assuming that this cyl. has the very wide, bridged 'butterfly' exhaust port. AIRSAL is not quite Malossi quality but at less than 1/3 the price how could you go wrong? These cylinders don't soft seize like iron cylinders do if you get the mixture off a bit. This would be a good base for a budget race setup. A lot of people use this cyl.
For this price you could buy an extra piston, ring and pin for either 'piston filing port tuning' or in case you should happen to melt one down a bit later and still spend no more than you would for most cast iron kits.

Is there a link missing or are you just telling us you like Airsal Reg?

It does have the bridged port... www.scooterinvasion.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=488I'm really thinking about picking that up and using it to replace the Polini Sport for T1. Single ring stroker... not sure if that's a great idea or not. Also, I've never owned an aluminum cylinder. They are said to be good for long life with the coatings, but say I put 7,000 miles on it in 6-7 months like T2, is it gonna be any good after that? |

Everybody ought to have a T6 at least once in their lives.... even just to make you want to buy that $450 Malossi For Race. LOL.

I ran one for two years. Probably 5-6,000 mi.

Also I paid something like $160 (including delivery) three years ago for my T6.

I saw it on Provo for $180+ship. It's $106.50 there. Too late now though someone's snatched it up.  |

I'm just wondering how this will work with a longer stroke. The single ring seems like a benefit because strokers usually wear the cylinder walls worse. Kinda seems odd to put a kit on a torquey stroker that might kill torque though.

I guess we'll find out. Or maybe now I'll go back and forth on what I want to use until the day I install one. I'd kinda like to try both, but if I keep one new I can sell it later if a customer ever wants it or if I just need some $$$.
