Cheers mate, thanks for the advice. I've got a mate looking at it at themoment who seems to think it may be the crankshaft as I know bugger all about scooters! I'll run past him your valuable advice and get back to you as soon as. Don't want to fork out for a new kit and crankshaft if I don't need to. By the way, you're right about changing the exhaust. I fitted a Simonini exhaust and was advised by a mate that I didn't need to adjust the jetting while it was still a 125.

Hi everyone, looking for a bit of advice on my px125. Coming back from Camber sands rally last year, blew a hole in the piston as the autolube had seized up. Fitted a malossi 166 kit and run it in for 500 miles. However, now it rides ok up to 40-50 mph, but heat seizes if I try to run it at 60mph.
Any ideas anyone? Could it be the crankshaft? If so, why does it run ok at 40-50,. but not 60?

Hi Everybody Just stumbled across this website and thought it a good idea to join. I'm what you would call an old Mod! Originally had a Lammy GT200 in 1966 for about 2 years. Loved the scene. In particular the music and tonic mohair suits (lived in North London in them days!) A wife & 2 kids brought an end to that era, for me, but I never really stopped being Mod-ish. Just couldn't get it out of my blood! When my eldest son went out and bought himself a PX125 in 1992 it was like I was a lad again. Started to go to some of the rallies and rideouts after he joined a Scooter Club and absolutely loved every minute of it. Have now (finally) got myself a PX125, which is a start! The lad's got himself a PX200 and a LI225 so I'm always trying to keep up with him.
Well that's a potted history of my life. Didn't mean to bore you all out there, but it's great to be a part of something again!
