Vespa clutch / crankshaft kit
German scooter specialist SIP Scootershop has this new 115 mm geared disc valve Vespa clutch / crankshaft kit available for Vespa 200 Rally / P200E / PX200 E / Lusso / ' 98 / MY / Cosa 200 applications . Features include 23 teeth , four SIP CR80 plates , ten springs , 60 mm stroke , 110 con-rod - for the " perfect connection between the crankshaft and the clutch on all Vespa largeframe models ," says CEO Ralf Jodl . " Piaggio designed these engines with a cylindrical flange , a spring washer and an M12 nut holding the crankshaft and clutch together . Generally speaking , this arrangement works quite well in a standard engine . Nowadays though , this tested set-up is not quite capable of reliable transmission of the power outputs that have become achievable . " To solve this , we can now present a solution with the important advantages over the stock design - such as interlocking cog-teeth connection , simple de / mounting and a solid and enduring connection , for all mileages and power outputs . " We now have a range of crankshafts and complementary clutches available with interlocking connections that are extremely solid and stable in operation . This technology has already been established in our BFA 306 engine design . These performance engines are easily capable of power outputs of up to 72 PS ! " When stripping such an engine , following operation , the clutch can be removed by hand once the holding nut had been undone , with absolutely no wear discovered . These achievements led us to transfer this advanced idea to more conventional engine casings , set-ups and clutch concepts . " All SIP crankshafts and clutches equipped with this interlocking connection are compatible with each other . With this system , the components are locked
together and held in position by the M14 holding nut , eliminating the need for a woodruff key . " On original engine casings , a 3.5 mm thick spacer disc must be positioned between the clutch and bearing , with our SIP BFA engine casings , a thinner 2.5 mm spacer disc is used . " The end result is a complete solution that eliminates once and for all one of the weakest links in the Vespa largeframe engine ' s drivetrain ."
