Let me just say now - I'm not trying to contradict PJ, Rocan, or anybody else. How much does that bike weigh in at? Figure about 150-200 pounds and with you on there it might double it (all guessing). Once you get it running just jam on that back brake a couple of times with no traffic around and maybe a friend supervising. If it shears apart, that sucks. If it doesn't, celebrate!
Its not about weight, it inertia and shock loading.
I feel the rear will be fine, no problem with brake plate and minimal on hub
Its the front that concerns me.
Get well padded up and run it through a couple of potholes at 20mph, if it survives it should be OK on 'smooth' roads.
Disc valve is easy to understand, as piston rises it creats a 'vacuum' in crankcase, set edge of disc so it opens the hole direct to crank. (you can actually measure degrees before BDC)
Its actually better for performance than a reed valve set up (reeds need 'higher' vacuum to open) but, it does make cases a lot wider (becasue carb is mounted sticking out sideways)
This is a 12~14bhp 50cc bike, 170 km is about 106~107mph
You can open up the holes and fit bigger carbs though, should be able to get about double original HP pretty easy
I used to build 80+mph GP125's all the time,('allegedly', wasnt me ossifer ;D)
Is 12bhp learner law still in effect in UK?
