I wonder if I can dissassemble the speedo enough to remove the pointer, and replace it a few degrees behind (back) much the same as you can do with a clock hand. It would start out below the 0 mph mark , but maybe it would work  |

You don't have to think back too far To recall when Harley Davidson was going through much of the same ordeal with japanese manufacturers. They even went so far as to patent the harley sound. Remember the saying-"imitation is the best form of flattery". If the chinese could pull off a knockoff of comperable quality at a fraction of the price, Piaggio would have something to worry about. Until then, they are safe.Anybody in the know would go for the "real deal" as opposed to a fake. The chinese fake rolexes too, but I don't see the swiss worried.  |

I don't think so. It's supposed to be dry. Dry it off, run it again, and see if it gets wet again. Maybe that's been there from the factory

I think higher the number higher the lift so the valves will float a little at high rpm producing less top speed but at low end and midrange the higher numbered cams are awesome. You need better valve springs with cams a12 and up is why I got an upgraded head. I love the take off and torque from my a13 cam and my top speed is still good but it does make the valves noisy regardless how tight you set them the higher lift opens more which causes the valves to slam down on the spring Did you have to use extra base gaskets for clearance? |

I didn't see anything about camshafts on that. It would be nice if there was a chart that list all the camshafts and their numbers and performance curves! Yeah, read more toward the bottom of the page, he talks about lift and lobe separation angle. He may have gone into more detail in another post, But I couldnt find it. Anyway, He's knowledgeable on cams. He has dialed a few. PM him and ask. |
