bgm PRO variator for Piaggio Quasar engines, e.g. Vespa GTS

bgm PRO Variomatic for Piaggio Quasar engines, eg Vespa GTS

  • with extra long translation bandwidth
  • perfect draft and
  • high rear wheel power.

The bgm PRO variomatic uses a shorter and Kevlar reinforced V-belt than usual for Quasar engines. This allows our Vario to run a much wider range of ratios without the V-belt being able to touch the housing, as is the case with a Malossi Vario. As a result, the bgm Vario can drive a much against range of ratios without the engine having to turn higher. A huge advantage, especially when the engine needs further tuning.

BGM2311V2 variator

Engine power directly at the rear wheel

The countless bench and road tests have shown that the 250 / 300cc Quasar engines do not require a harder or different back pressure spring than the standard one. This means that the entire engine power is not lost in frictional heat but ends up where it belongs: at the rear wheel.

Vespa GTS Variomatic test

With the Piaggio series variomatic, the engine runs into the governor much earlier. The power is therefore maintained much longer when looking at the speed axis, which is noticeable in a higher final speed.

Compared to the Polini set, the bgm Vario does not work at an artificially increased speed level to get an aha effect. The Polini Vario unfortunately buys its (too) high speed level with a worse efficiency.

Maintaining the same acceleration speed as the standard engine results in our bgm Vario-Kit, so that the engine is not loaded higher and the power output is pleasantly linear. In everyday use the superiority of the bgm Vario-Kit is clearly demonstrated in a direct 1: 1 comparison.

Vespa ignition retrofit electronic ignition

Vespa Largeframe conversion to electronic ignition

Vespa engines of the large frame models with rotary vane intake control, eg Vespa VNA, VNB, VBA, VBB, VLA, GT, GTR, Sprint, Rally, PX, LML 2T, Bajaj Chetak can now be easily converted:

Why should I convert a Vespa to electronic ignition?

These are the advantages of an electronic ignition!

After the conversion, the former weak 6Volt on-board power supply has a powerful 12 volt light output. The previously self-regulating electrical system is converted to a Reliable and bulb-friendly regulator control (eg with BGM6690). The high-quality wiring ensures a safe transmission of the high light and ignition power. With its strong wattage, it already provides a very good light output when idling, which does not collapse even when using the indicators or additional power consumers. No maintenance necessary! Maintenance work, as usual with contact ignition, is not necessary.

Our new bgm ignition: specially developed for the conversion of contact controlled engines to a maintenance free electronic ignition:

The latest version of the proven bgm PRO HP (High Power) ignition base plate for conversion from contact ignition to electronic ignition.
Suitable for eg Vespa Largeframe like VNA, VNB, VBA, VBB, GL, Super, Sprint, GT, GTR, TS, Rally

bgm PRO ignition base plate

With our own brand bgm, we have revised and improved the thousandfold proven bgm PRO ignition base plate. Special attention was paid to a very high quality of the coils and the pickup.
In addition, the cabling was changed to textile-sheathed silicone cables. A special gimmick is the cord already attached to the cable branch for easy pulling the cable harness through the cable channel in the engine housing. Also the base plate now has a degree of exact scaling for easy adjustment.

Compared to a conventional electronic ignition, the BGM Pro HP V2.5 ignition base plate has specially combined coil windings.
Through this the efficiency of the alternator is again clearly improved and offers with 120W a high light output.

In contrast to a Vespa PX ignition base plate, the BGM Pro HP has a longer and differently laid cable load in order to be able to mount the ignition base plate perfectly on older vehicles. Additionally it has an adapted base plate contour to fit perfectly on engines before 1977 (with a larger shaft seal seat than PX).

  • High light output (120W) through maximum number of windings
  • Proven excitation coil with copper plate for highest reliability
  • Pickup with carbon barrier layer for a clean ignition pulse
  • Cleanly processed light coils
  • High quality solder joints
  • Original cable lugs and length for very easy cabling
  • Can be combined with additional modules (PiFi, Kytronic, Agusto)

NOTES: The BGM pickup has a nominal resistance of 100 Ohm (+/- 10Ohm)

Silicone lines

ADVANTAGES OF SILICONE CABLES

  • Extremely temperature resistant (-40 ° C to + 250 ° C)
  • Always stays flexible
  • Very good mechanical protection by the textile fabric
  • Resistant to fats, oils, alcohols, oxygen, ozone
  • Very high insulation properties

CONVERSION TO ELECTRONIC IGNITION

When converting from a contact ignition to this base plate, the use of a different fan wheel, a voltage regulator and a CDI is necessary.
A standard old voltage regulator, like the standard ignition coil, is no longer needed.
With the BGM voltage regulator BGM6690 an optional battery (12Volt battery required) can be charged while driving. The old wiring harness can still be used, however, the formerly individual circuits must be combined here, since the voltage regulator only provides one output for the complete power supply. It is easier to convert to one of our conversion wiring harnesses (eg 9077011).

Everything necessary for this is available individually or as a set.

Suitable for Vespa OldieLargeframe

The BGM ignition base plate fits all Vespa engines of the large frame models with rotary vane intake control, eg Vespa VNA, VNB, VBA, VBB, VLA, GT, GTR, Sprint, Rally, PX, LML 2T, Bajaj Chetak.

Conversion set

Besides the ignition you also need some other parts to convert the engine from contact ignition to electronic ignition. We have put together a practical set for you here: BGM6661PRO

All parts are also available separately:

 

PLEASE NOTES
The alignment of the crankshaft in the engine case, and thus also the position of the pole wheel, is much more variable in the old largeframe engines (recognizable by crankshaft bearings of the same size with 25x62x12mm) than, for example, in the later PX engines.

The crankshaft bearings are not fixed in the engine housing by a snap ring, but are only fitted with a light press fit in the housing. Due to various tolerances (eg the width of the shaft sealing rings, worn bearing seats, orientation of the cone on the crankshaft) there may be significant deviations from the originally intended positioning of the shaft in the crankcase. Prerequisite for a correctly working ignition is a perfect alignment of the pole wheel with the ignition base plate. Otherwise the trigger surface in the pole wheel will not run parallel to the pickup, which can lead to misfiring. If the ignition does not produce a spark, the fault is usually to be found here. For easy repair we offer distance plates (BGM8000S05) for the pickup on the ignition base plate. With these distance plates the correct distance can be restored in a simple way.

 

The bgm PRO Conversion ignition fits the following models:

Test Vespa Box Exhaust

Boris Goldberg, in cooperation with MMW Racing, has made a very complex exhaust test for the Vespa PX200 models on behalf of the very informative English online magazine ScooterLab.uk (SLUK for short). The focus of the test here was on the now very popular box exhaust systems. This means exhaust systems that are more or less similar to the original exhaust in appearance and sound, but offer a much better performance like that BGM BigBox Touring or Polini Box.

To make the results accessible to all readers, here is an excerpt of the most interesting tests.
In general, tests were carried out on two different engines:

  • Genuine PX200 12hp engine
  • PX200 engine with Malossi 210 sport cylinder, long stroke racing crankshaft (60mm stroke with extended intake control angle), SI24 carburetor

EXHAUST COMPARISON PX200 ORIGINAL ENGINE

The original PX200 motor is designed as a throttle motor. As a result, it offers high torque with a flat power curve.
Due to the short steering angles and small flushing surfaces, the engine cannot be operated sensibly with a classic racing exhaust. The loss of torque in the lower range is so great that there may be problems with the gear connection from third to fourth gear. The engine falls exactly in the range where the racing exhaust has significantly less power than the standard exhaust at shift speed. Under unfavorable conditions, the engine then literally starves to death in fourth gear and doesn't get any faster than in third gear.
This is, besides the optical and acoustic inconspicuousness, one reason why the box exhaust systems have become so popular. These offer, with almost the same performance as a 'real' racing exhaust, a much more linear performance curve without any drop in performance. Thus, the engine with a box exhaust is usually much more harmonious and relaxed to drive.

The Polini Box and Big Box Touring are a perfect example of how a good exhaust system can help a production engine get started.
Polini has developed its exhaust system very close to the Big Box Touring, which was previously available on the market.
On the original engine, the BigBox Touring is clearly ahead in terms of torque and power:

POLINI BOX ON PX200 ORIGINAL ENGINE

The power curve of the original Piaggio PX200 exhaust always serves as a reference. In addition, an exotic, not for sale, was also included in the diagram (an exhaust of the special model PX125 T5 which was equipped with an exhaust manifold of the PX200).
The Polini Box runs very harmoniously on the production engine. It widens the usable speed range and increases the available torque and power already relatively considerably.
Compare the lower yellow curve of the original exhaust with the upper red curve. The motor speed is specified via the left / right axis and starts at 2800 rpm. The motor power is read via the vertical axis, the higher the curve the higher the motor power at the given speed.
The original exhaust reaches here 9,5 HP which is the normal rear wheel power of a 12 HP Vespa. The 12hp are measured at the crankshaft in the factory, without the losses through the gearbox, tires etc.
The Polini Box achieves a maximum of 11,5hp, already 2hp more than the standard exhaust. The absolute torque is identical to the standard exhaust.

Performance data and improvement compared to the original exhaust: 11,5HP / 16,2Nm (+ 2,0HP / + 0,0Nm)

BGM BIG BOX TOURING ON PX200 ORIGINAL ENGINE

The BGM BigBox Touring runs on the standard engine again much more powerful than the Polini. Up to about 5700 rpm, ie exactly in the speed range for which the original gearbox was tuned, the BigBox Touring is significantly higher than the already good Polini Box. The slightly earlier end of revs at 7000 rpm (Polini 7400 rpm) is not relevant because the standard engine in fourth gear (due to the normal driving resistances) only turns up to 6000 rpm anyway.
On an original engine the BigBox Touring is therefore still unbeatable when it comes to early, high torque with very good bandwidth.
It gives the original engine, without other modifications, a plus of 2 HP. Compared to the Polini it also increases the absolute torque by more than 1Nm.
This is already noticeable while driving, because this higher torque extends over the wide speed range of 3000-5500 rpm, which is very important for everyday use.

Performance data and improvement compared to the original exhaust: 11,5HP / 17,4Nm (+ 2,0HP / + 1,2Nm)

 

EXHAUST COMPARISON ON PERFORMANCE UPGRADED ENGINE WITH MALOSSI 210 SPORT CYLINDER

The converted engine in this test is, despite the modified cylinder and crankshaft, still extremely tour-friendly and rock solid with, albeit very sporty, classic Vespa characteristics. The engine thus develops from the speed cellar at least the same power as a standard engine, with significantly better performance in the medium and upper speed range.

 

POLINI BOX ON PX200 ENGINE WITH MALOSSI 210CC CYLINDER
On the Malossi Sport cylinder the Polini Box works very well and offers a considerable plus compared to the original exhaust (+ 5,4HP). Up to 4200 rpm it is slightly below the level of the original exhaust, but then from 6000 rpm it takes in air again and offers a good top performance.

Performance data and improvement compared to the original exhaust: 21,2PS / 23,7Nm (+ 5,4PS / + 3,4Nm)

BGM BIGBOX TOURING ON PX200 ENGINE WITH MALOSSI 210CCM CYLINDER
On the Malossi Sport cylinder, the BGM BigBox Touring works perfectly and offers a very high torque virtually from idle. At 5000 rpm it is a whole horsepower more powerful than the Polini Box and reaches its power peak already at 6000 rpm. So here too the name says it all and every touring rider is on the safe side with the BigBox Touring in terms of perfect rideability and thrust from the rev cellar. Compared to the standard exhaust, + 3.5Nm are taken out of the engine here, all this at a significantly lower speed level. If you are in a hurry, you can benefit from the wide speed range of the BBT which still allows the engine to turn easily up to 7500 rpm with a lot of power at the rear wheel. With a standard gearbox this is already over 125km / h, whereas such an engine pulls a longer gear ratio without any problems. Fast motorway stages are therefore not only no problem despite the early onset of torque, they are also a lot of fun!

Performance data and improvement compared to the original exhaust: 19,9HP / 23,8Nm (+ 4,1HP / + 3,5Nm)

BGM BIGBOX SPORT ON PX200 ENGINE WITH MALOSSI 210CCM CYLINDER
Friends of the classic two-stroke characteristic will love the BGM BigBox Sport. If you expect the resonance kick *, turning out a wide range and at the same time a high peak performance, you've come to the right place. On the Malossi Sport cylinder she is still a bit underchallenged, but this one is ideal for all those who want to expand their engine concept. The Malossi Sport cylinder is perfectly suited for this purpose, as it offers the same overcurrent layout as the much stronger MHR brother.
The latter works best on a diaphragm controlled inlet (or a heavily reworked rotary vane inlet) together with a large carburettor. Therefore, MHR was not used as a basis in this test. However, increasing the head angle as well as the exhaust window quickly brings the Malossi Sport cylinder into very high performance regions. Engine outputs well over 25 hp are then possible without any problems with the BBS, as the BigBox Sport is also known in short form.
But even on an engine that is still quite conventionally constructed, as used in this test, the BBS has the winning crown in terms of top performance. The nice thing about it is that despite the highest power peak in the test field up to 5000 rpm it runs almost as powerful as a standard exhaust. This is rather unusual for exhaust systems with high peak performance. But from 5000 rpm there is no holding anymore and the exhaust starts to charge fully. The high peak power is then maintained over a wide speed range. Perfect for chugging through the city without attracting attention and for getting the performance hammer out in between. As already mentioned, the BigBox Sport works much better on more powerful engines and does not stop at a power of more than 30HP / 30NM (see also the performance diagrams in the online shop). In summary, one can say that the BBS is the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing.

(* you can feel the turbocharged use of the exhaust)

Performance data and improvement compared to the original exhaust: 22,0PS / 23,7Nm (+ 6,2PS / + 3,4Nm)

Shock absorber with outer reservoir

The outer reservoir of the shock absorber increases the compensation volume and therefore it offers a much better response. Also the damping adjusting range has been increased.
The bgm PRO SC Competition shock absorber has a modified basic set-up and therefore it can also be perfectly used in combination with rigid sport springs.

The compression and rebound adjustment prevents the diving effect or the rapid extension when wheels pass over bumps.

As a result, this shock absorber is also perfect for more powerful vehicles.
The wide range of damping adjustments allows you to use this shock absorber also in combination with a standard spring and with the right damping adjustment you can still have a comfortable ride.

The new shock absorber also fits 8 and 10 inch wheels

Thanks to the optimized size, 165 mm, this shock absorber perfectly fits also all 8-inch wheel models with no need to preload the spring or change the inclination of the fork link.

When mounted, the outer reservoir is covered by the mudguard and the front side of the Vespa therefore keeps its genuine look.

Like for the F16 Sport series, also this shock absorber is made of aluminum material with hard-anodised finish, available in black and silver.

Rear shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe

The tuning of Vespa Wideframe models (eg “Faro Basso” (rod models), Vespa GS3 or ACMA) is becoming increasingly popular. Also Italian tuning companies offer now tuning parts like Wideframe cylinder. For a safer drive we have developed a shock absorber with certification from TÜV-Rheinland.

BGM Pro SC SPORT shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe

The BGM Pro SC SPORT rear shock absorber for Vespa Wideframe fits the following models: Vespa 125 VN1T / VN2T / ACMA / VL / VB1 / VD / VGL1 / Vespa GS ...

Sporty, comfortable, adjustable and with homologation

The bgm PRO shock absorbers have factory pre-configured damping and stepless adjustable spring preload. Individually adjustable: the pre-load of this rear shock absorber is stepless adjustable.

The bmg PRO SPORT perfectly replaces the genuine shock absorber of all Wideframe models from 1955 onwards. For models until year of construction 1954 the springs and the shock absorbers are separated. A remedy here is the upper mounting bracket of the later models. the Vespa Wideframe mounting is available separately and therefore the bgm PRO shock absorber can also be mounted on scooters before 1955. The item includes two adapters (M8 and M9) which can be used accordingly on the respective models. Furthermore, the shock absorber is height-adjustable for a length of 385 – 420mm.

Increased start-up performance

Another significant advantage of the bgm PRO air intake hose is the drain system at the bottom of the intake hose: the fluid expelled from the carburettor does not accumulate in the hose and this prevents the idle speed system from clogging.

 

 

New extra flat bgm PRO air filter for CP caburettors

bgm PRO air filter for Polini CP carburetors

BGM PRO Double Layer filter made by Marchald for Polini CP carburettors

Extra flat air filter specially designed for Polini CP carburetors. Available in two sizes:

With a thickness of only 30mm, this filter is perfect for the Vespa Wideframe or tuned-up Lambretta.
The 55mm version is also a good option for that Vespa Smallframe.
The BGM filter has been specially developed for CP carburettors. The air filter rubber perfectly follows the shape of the carburetor and this prevents any risk of slippage.

The bell mouth perfectly fits the carburettor and therefore has a streamlined shape. Thanks to the compact shape and the high permeability of the filter material, this filter is the best option if you want to have a perfect air intake without having a power loss.

Features of Marchald Power Double Layer air filter

  • easy and quick to assemble
  • high filtration performance and optimized air flow thanks to the double layer high tech foam
  • Superb airtight rubber, no risk of air leaks
  • water resistant - even after complete wetting the filter has not to be replaced
  • washable
  • Thanks to the very flat design this filter can be fit in the smallest space
  • integrated bell mouth for best inflow of the carburetor

The length refers to the additional length (millimeters) of the carburettor / filter group after mounting the filter.

Polini CP carburetors

The Polini CP carburetors, characterized by their compact design, are very popular and widely used.

 

The CP carburettor can be used to replace the genuine carburettor of the Smallframe models or to get more power on Vespa and Lambretta engines: indeed, it is characterized by a compact design and offers therefore much better setup options than SHB carburetors.

bgm PRO / Marchald cooperation

We decided to cooperate with the Italian company Marchald, specialized in air filters, and to develop together what we consider the perfect air filter for the CP carburettors.

 

High quality and broad experience in air filter development

The high-quality rubber, which Marchald has used for years, can resist to steady mechanical stress and chemical exposure.

In order to ensure a perfect adherence and to prevent any risk of slippage, the rubber perfectly follows the shape of the carburettor.
Thanks to the two grooves in the rubber and the clamp (also included in the item) the air filter is stably fixed in its place.

Together with its bell mouth the rubber perfectly adapts to the special shape of the CP carburettor, a shape which increases the performance of the carburettor.

 

Air filters available in two sizes

Depending on the place available to mount the filter, we have designed this air filter in two versions.

The length reported in the item description refers to the length of the filter once it has been mounted on the carburettor.

The BGM air filters fit all Polini CP carburettors from Ø17,5 to Ø24mm and are available in two sizes: 30 mm and 55 mm.

 

 

For Vespa Smallframe: 55mm air filters

The 55mm version is a good option for that Smallframe models. Even though the shock absorber is fully deflected, there's still much space between the air filter and the chassis.

For Vespa Wideframe, Smallframe and Lambretta:

The 30mm version is particularly ideal for the Vespas Wideframe since they can be mounted even in small spaces.

With a length of only 30mm, this filter is short enough to prevent any crash or pressure against the carburetor flap.

 

 

If you use this filter on a Vespa Smallframe you'll have much more space around the carburettor.

Our recommendation for works on Vespa and Lambretta engines

Working precisely is essential for a good result when building up a new engine.
Inlet timing of rotary valve or piston ported engines as well as transfer and outlet timing of a cylinder are crucial factors in building an engine.

It all depends on the choice of components, but usually cylinders and / or engine casings have to be fine tuned in order to achieve the desired trigger delay angle in inlet and cylinder. Sometimes measuring with a calliper is not enough. Therefore we recommend to once assembling the engine without fitting it in the scooter. Because this will allow you to get the dimensions you need. And if you found out then, that the engine casing needs fine tuning, you would have to remove the ball bearing again. Which usually shortens the life span of the sensitive bearing immensely.

NEW: Bearing dummies

Bearing dummies help you in this cause.

Storage dummy (2)

Advantages of bearing dummies

The dummy will fit without the common need of heating the engine casing.
The dummies have just like ball bearings, visible chamfers for easy assembly.

Storage dummy_2 (4)

Once the dummies are fitted, you can still turn the crankshaft and you can even measure the gap dimension.

A useful tool to gain this important data is for instance the BGM timing disc in combination with the whale. This set will help you to easily and precisely measure the trigger delay angle.

the-whale-tool-adjust-ignition

Once you collected all the data by using bearing dummies, you can easily remove the substitute ball bearings from the engine casing.

Storage dummy (3)

The right size matters!

We have now developed bearing dummies by BGM PRO. MADE IN GERMANY

The bearings are available in all important sizes. The description of the dummies includes the dimensions of the corresponding ball bearing and the name of the bearing. Guide to read information on size (the bearing dummy for the ignition bearing of a Vespa PX and PK ETS will serve as example):

Bearing dummy crankshaft -BGM PRO- NBI 253815 (25x38x15mm)

  • NBI 253815 = name of the bearing given by the producer (Nadella, SKF, ...)
  • 25 = inner diameter of the bearing in millimeters
  • 38 = external diameter of the bearing in millimeters
  • 15 = width of the bearing in millimeters

Available in all sizes:

 

Various combinations sorted by type of scooter:

You see, you will need different dummies for various combinations of engine and crankshaft.

Synthetic bearing dummy

This allows you to try the fit of the crankshaft in the engine casing without the need of force and the crankshaft can still be moved. You can therefore measure without wearing crankshaft or the new bearing out. Perfect, to check the trigger delay angle of the crankshaft (rotary valve inlet) or of the cylinder (outlet timing, transfer timing). Made in Germany

Vespa silent block

Be honest - have you ever replaced the silent blocks of your Vespa? Even during a total make over this is the part which is often neglected.

It might happen, that after many kilometers on the road, the sight of the most beautiful backside on earth is a little strange.

Take a look at the rear wheel from behind. If it is at a slight angle, the silent blocks in the engine casing will be past their best days.

Why silent rubbers?

Silent rubbers fulfill a difficult task: They are meant to eliminate unpleasant vibes of the drive unit swing arm and, simultaneously, give a reliable and safeguide of the rear wheel. The silent rubber on the right additionally needs to bear the major part of the engine's weight. Therefore, the right silent rubber bears more load and wears off quicker.

A new set of silent rubbers should deal with this issue. At least that's what you might think ...

Be careful with "OEM quality"

It seems that, let's call them, “other” suppliers have now found their way into the Piaggio bag.
Original silent rubbers are sometimes very soft, causing the engine to be at an angle to the frame, just by the means of it's own weight. Loaded, which means with driver, it won't get any better. Quicker Vespas with worn or too soft silent blocks sometimes tend to swing to and fro the longitudinal axis at higher speed.

Solution: load oriented silent blocks

We have therefore chosen a slightly harder rubber for the BGM PRO silent blocks and decided for an even harder rubber for the strained side, which needs to bear the engine.

The harder, right side therefore counter acts the engine's weight and is a safe guide for the drive unit swing arm.

The BGM PRO silent blocks for Vespa engines are marked with colors:

BGM7952 (1)

  • GREEN marks the harder silent rubber for the right hand side (seen in direction of travel)
  • NET marks the silent block for the left hand side.

Vespa silent block

Easy assembly of silent blocks

When determining the shape of the silent blocks, we decided for a version with two parts.

This makes fitting the silent rubbers a lot easier.
Tire mounting paste helps to fit the rubbers.
You should not use any grease.

We currently offer silent blocks for the following Vespa models:

Lambretta silent blocks

Lovers of chain driven Lambrettas can already turn to silent block sets for a while.
During the development of silent block sets for Vespa we have profited from the positive experiences of development Silent rubbers for Lambretta with varying degrees of hardness.

Vespa clutch cable or gear change cable broken?

Once a brake cable, gear change cable or clutch cable is broken, you should also check all the other bowden cables and cable housings.

When restoring a scooter you usually need an entire cable set. It's just, that one broken bowden cable is a hint that the other cables might also be worn.

We recommend: BGM bowden cables for Vespa and Lambretta

The BGM sets are perfectly adjusted to the vehicle and include all the cables and cable housings you will need in the right length. Gear change cable, clutch cable, brake cable etc. are part of the kit.

BGM PRO Bowden cables are in line with factory specifications and impress with high quality at low prices. The length of the individual cables is adjusted to the vehicle, so that they can be fitted without further ado. Pull set BGM 017 Pull set BGM 012

Best quality

BGM cable with high quality details such as

  • double crimped cable end sleeves
  • burr-free nipples
  • tinned end sleeves (laid cable).

Easy and quick assembly.

A layers of low-friction PTFE at the inside of the housings of the front brake, gears, acceleration and clutch stands for easy and precise use.
you maybe oil or grease the inner cables and these will then operate extremely smoothly.

NEW: BGM PRO Superstrong “CR” clutch for Vespa

Our BGM PRO Superstrong clutch for Vespa Largeframe engines has proven excellent performance time and again. It was now updated.
You can fit the CR clutch plates of the "Superstrong CR”Version without further ado.

BGM8299

Fully assembled clutch available

The upper disc was subject to special treatment and offers space for a reinforced top plate.
Fitting the clutch remains the same as before.

Super strong CR 045

Easy assembly

It's usually sufficient to adapt the clutch cover, as for a Cosa version.
You will find the relevant information in the download section of the product in our shop.

Super strong CR 040

The outer diameter of the CR version's clutch spider did not change.

We have merely adapted its contour for the CR discs to fit without a need for changes.

Super strong CR 038

Remaining parts like hub, sprocket and steel discs are the same as in the Superstrong Cosa version.

New Vespa clutches:

Superstrong CR is available in the following variations:

Plug & Play

Vespa PX80/PX125/PX150/Cosa125/Cosa200 (the large primary drive wheel features 67 or 68 teeth)

Vespa PX200 (the large primary drive wheel features 65 teeth or the BGM primary drive wheel features 64 teeth)

Construction kit

You can also put your own CR clutch together.

 

Recommendation for torque monsters

You have a high-torque engine and want to change it number of teeth of your primary drive wheel to 64? We recommend using a reinforced repair kit as well. Reinforced springs have an improved jolt damping and deal mechanically better with a higher torque of monster engines than the standard version.

Advantages of CR plates

We have already mentioned the advantages of CR plates for high performance engines in ours post on clutch plates. This is a short exception:

"How can such a small, flat clutch plate be better than the larger cork version?"
One: material with better friction value. Two: “effective radius”.
The outer diameter in connection with the height of the lining results in a certain radius, which is decisive Pad set Honda 012

This means that with the same diameter, the lever arm, which counters the torque at the hub, is longer, since the distance between the center of the lining and the crankshaft pivot point is larger. Which basically is the simple lever principle. So to say: it's “easier” for the clutch lining to deal with the torque.

As you can see, there are two reasons why a clutch with CR plates can transmit higher torque at the same contact pressure of springs. It is general, omnipresent physics and the material used for clutch lining.

A CR-plate set stands for a low movement of the lever and a clear and freely working clutch. The plate material also guarantees easy and secure shifting of gears in high revs.

Oil for clutches with CR plates

We recommend to use oil with Jaso-MA / MA2 or API GL-4 specifications.
Par exemple Valvoline 10W40 MA2.

Oil -VALVOLINE 4T- 4-stroke SAE 10W-40 mineral

Vespa special tool for vintage scooters

We have added a nice one special tool for Vespa by BGM PRO to our program, which is especially suitable for those loving older Vespa models like the GS or younger, also known as wideframes..

BGM7913TL (29)

Tight drive shaft bearing

The following affects many screw connections of older Vespa ladies: they rust and become tight to move due to aging, lacking maintenance and not being used. Sometimes this issue can only be dealt with fiendish tricks.

The bearing shield of the center main shaft bearing is a fitting example. Usually the threaded face ring, made of plain steel, was exposed to acids, old oil and water for several decades. This was plenty of time to establish an intimate relationship with the engine casing's alloy.

BGM7913TL (1)

Our special solution works for sure

Sometimes it seems impossible to separate these lovers. In this situation a simple face wrench tends to slip off. We therefore “included” the option of preloading to our tool.

BGM7913TL (12)

BGM7913TL (25)

At the end of the bearing guide, you will find a bolt sitting on the drive shaft. This generates preload and prevents the wrench from slipping. You will therefore be able to Safely reach the necessary output torque to loosen the nut without a slipping face wrench.

BGM7913TL (3)

The screw will hardly move? Even then you will be able to loosen it without causing any damage to the threaded ring. Wrench in its guide and threaded face ring have the same pitch. Therefore the tool will follow the loosened ring with the same preload. It's impossible for the wrench to slip off. BGM7913TL (15)

It's possible to use both popular wrench sizes of threaded rings with this tool.

  • Bolt pitch of face holes 37 mm suitable for threaded ring with an inner diameter of 28mm.
  • Bolt pitch of face holes 43 mm suitable for threaded ring with an inner diameter of 35mm.

BGM7913TL

The tool is driven by wrench sizes WS22 and WS17. Threaded pins differ in size, which makes it easy to differentiate.
The large pin (l = 25mm) fits the threaded ring with the large inner diameter and the small threaded pin fits the threaded ring with the small inner diameter.

Just in case: both pins are available as spare parts.

Depending on which threaded ring you want to loosen, you can “hide” the other threaded pin in the tool. BGM7913TL (29)

The perfect bowden cable for Vespa & Lambretta

Acceleration, brakes, gears and clutch - these features of your classic scooter are being used with the help of cables.
Maintenance of, care for and choice of material of these obviously simple parts is decisive.

We therefore included high quality BGM PRO cable set for your classic scooter in our program.

Exchanging the old cables with a BGM cable set will be a long-term solution for flawless running and smooth operation of your scooter.

Pull set BGM 012

Even better than OEM quality

BGM cable sets have the same dimensions as the originals for various vehicles.

Fitting cable lengths and fitting, tight safelyened cable ends stand for an easy assembly and long-term operation.

Pull set BGM 017

The front brake cable and the clutch cable have been designed with the so-called pear shape terminal. This design enables the inner cable to move according to any strain. Of course you can also buy an adapter that fits the pear shape terminals.

Piaggio sadly offers rather bad quality in this sector. Please check out this comparison:

Pull set BGM_1

The nipple has extreme cast burrs and does neither really fit the cable by Piaggio nor the original cable barrel by Piaggio. Pull set BGM_1 (1)

A simple assembly of the Piaggio material is impossible, you will need to work hard with a file or hand mill. The abscess-like cable end won't fit the brake lever.

Pull set BGM_1 (3)

Perfection and love for details

When designing the BGM cable sets, we have been focusing on these and other details. We still work on ourselves scooters ourselves and just like you, we are annoyed by bad and expensive “original parts” that can only be used after intensive care.

The adapters of the BGM cables turn a stress free assembly into reality. The pear shape terminal perfectly fits - as you can see - in the small space of the Rally and V50 lever. Pull set BGM_1 (6)

Advice: Use some grease

Please don't forget to grease the nipple before assembly, in order to have it turn smoothly when the lever is used.

Pull set BGM 005

The consequence of a non-greased nipple is too much friction and it won't turn properly, which causes the inner cable to bend with each use of the lever.

Just count the number of times you use your clutch during daily commuting. Even the best inner cable will quit the job after a rather small amount of such bends - and this will most probably be at night on an empty country road….

Info: Movement of the cable nipple

In order to make our statement clearer, we opened a gear change twist grip and marked nipple and lever. The mark shows how much the nipple turns with the use of the clutch lever. If the movement of the nipple is impossible, the inner cable will be bent.

Train set bgm_4

Pull set bgm_4 (1)

You will need to react if your cables look like this!

Old, original cables were of simple design. If the thin outer sheath has become brittle over the years, water and dirt will easily get to the soul of the cable.

Pull set bgm_7 004

This will harm the smooth movement of the cables. Dirt and water are reasons for high friction of cables. Water will cause the cables to rust from the inside to the outside and will soon lead to breaks.

A guide of PTFE sets at the inner side of the sheath of BGM cable enhances smooth movements of cables.

The thin PTFE guide also prevents damage to the inner cable from water or dirt, might the sheath be damaged. Pull set BGM 001

BGM PRO cables with PTFE

Simplified: the material PTFE is self-lubricating. A mechanic contact, here the moving inner cable, loosens fibers of the PTFE, which cause a kind of ball bearing effect, so that the cable can be moved with less friction. A little test impressively demonstrates the smoothness of the movement.

Take the new cable and form a spiral. In the case of a cable without PTFE, you will no longer be able to move the inner cable. The radius of the sheath will drastically increase friction, which blocks the inner cable. Once you straighten the cable, you will be able to move the inner cable again.

In the case of a cable with PTFE guide, you will even be able to easily move the cable in the spiral.

The PTFE interior of the BGM cable sets are surrounded by a stable bowden cable of flat steel.

Cheap versions of the sheath by other manufacturers, using simple wire for the bowden cable, tend to be compressed like a screw spring or concertina when being used.

This effect leads to imprecise changes of gears and operation of the clutch. Cheap cables dramatically enhance the feeling of "nothing happens" when braking and give a washy feeling in sudden braking maneuvers.

The sheath of the BGM cables is made of flat steel, which is very resistant to compression. Paired with the inner cable you will have Precise feedback when using brakes, clutches and gears.

Cable end

Cable ends are another important detail. The cable should always end fix the sheath and shouldn't peel off. Not even after a long, intense life.

The bowden cable is ground and placed against the ends, in order to avoid the flat steel to bore through the cable end but rather create a common surface of flat steel and cable end.

Securing the cable end is another crucial detail. The cable ends of Piaggo cables are only squeezed.

But cable ends of BGM cables are secured by two embossings and the cable end can basically only be detached by destroying the cable. Pull set BGM_1 (8)

Cable ends of no two vehicles are the same.

The most fitting example would probably be the clutch cable of the PX. From 1984, with the conversion to EFL models, the shape of the top has changed the bush of the clutch cable.

The diameter of the cable end had been significantly enlarged to grant a better guidance and bracing in the gear change twist grip. The hole in the gear change twist grip was designed accordingly. A cable of the older models would slip through the large hole in the gear change twist grip - and a new clutch cable wouldn't fit the hole in the old gear change twist grips.

For our cable sets we have thought of everything, even the rubber sleeve at the end of the front brake cables.

Details on the optimized 26 SI carburetors

With our carburetor tuning Float chamber cover, nozzle holder and holes professionally edited.

In detail, the hole for the float needle is enlarged to 2,8mm and the guide for the float needle is provided with two additional holes for faster fuel supply.

The 5,2mm float needle is spring-loaded and helps the float needle to have a longer service life - it has to interrupt the flow of fuel several thousand times an hour and then release it again.

Fast and constant spray supply up to 180 main nozzle

The enlarged valve bore In the float needle seat and through the additional holes in the guide for the float needle, the fuel flows in unhindered. This means that the fuel level in the float chamber remains constant.

So that the fuel can flow sufficiently quickly to the nozzle assembly, the bore from the float chamber to the nozzle assembly is enlarged from 1,2mm to 1,8mm. This diameter is with a 180 Dellorto main jet equate - this nozzle size can also be used if required.

We are currently not aware of any engines that require a main jet in the region around 180. The Fasterflow therefore still offers reserves in this area.

Touring setup with 25HP with main jet up to 160

In current touring engines with approx. 20-25PS, main jets in the range of 135-160 are often used.

Leaning during the acceleration phase or swallowing due to lack of fuel during load changes are a thing of the past with the right nozzle equipment.

25s are the better 26s SI carburettors

On closer inspection you will find that the carburetor marked as 26/26 has an effective bore of 25mm.

SI Faster Flow 041

 

Vespa SI carburettor with a bore of real 26mm are prone to premature, high wear in the area of ​​the slide guide. Once this sensitive area is worn out, the carburetor is unusable.

Due to the small overlap of slide and guide with a 26mm bore, additional air can cheat past the slide in the worn areas of the guide and strongly influence the running smoothness of the engine.

This goes up to the involuntary revving up while idling and noticeable emaciation or lean jerking when accelerating.

Therefore the bgm PRO 26er SI - carburettors are provided with an optimal effective bore of 25mm.
