Product description
A high-end crankshaft for Vespa GS 160/SS 180 models. These items represent the highest component quality, facilitating a motor with maximum reliability and minimal vibration.
Together with the cylinder and piston, the crankshaft represents the beating heart of any internal combustion engine. It is amongst the hardest working components and the conversion of the pistons stroke to a rotary movement places the highest demands both quality and care taken during construction. The crankshaft should also be well balanced to reduce any unwanted vibrations and the oscillating mass kept to a minimum to support an efficient delivery of the power created by the motor. The big-end bearing rotates at the same rate as the motors RPM, receives lubrication from the petrol/two-stroke oil gas mixture and must withstand two abrupt changes in direction of the piston for each revolution of the motor. The crank-pin, connecting both crankshaft webs with the con rod, has to be pressed into the webs with a certain clearance to the openings in the webs. If this connection is not strong enough the crankshaft can twist and the crankshaft webs become misaligned and seize. To ensure the big end bearing receives sufficient lubrication the big end of the con rod should be provided with slots to facilitate this.The crankshafts.
This all-new range of performancecrankshaftsare produced for in Italy and satisfy all of the above listed demands. We have concentrated our efforts to provide the highest quality combined with tried and tested technological features. Each crankshaft is balanced specifically to suit the stroke, con rod length and model of scooter for which it is intended.The crankshafts available in this range can be split into two main types. The ‘Premium’ are equipped with a ‘standard’ high end con rod type, meaning that its surface finish remains unmodified. It is provided with lubrication slots and holes, for the big and small end bearings respectively.The ‘Performance’ crankshaft models include a con rod of extremely high quality and they are made more enduring with an intensive polishing procedure that provides a more stable molecular structure. The smooth polished flanks of the con rod also help reduce turbulence. The polished con rods also have been optimised with a reduction in weight. They possess a gas-flowed profile and been modified around the big end to improve the bearings lubrication and cooling.The crankshafts for the Vespa GS 160/SS 180 models.
Crankshaft GS 160/SS 180. We now have crankshafts of the highest quality available to replace the originals in the sought-after Vespa GS 160/SS 180 models. The range includes upgrade crankshafts compatible with either GS 160 series I & II models. The later type also found use in the SS 180 motor and we have this item available in two types. The ‘Premium’ version possesses an extremely high quality con-rod and the ‘Performance’ versions con-rod is highly polished with a narrow profile.Conclusion : The ideal high-end upgrade for aged or worn original crankshafts.?C TIP : Do not forget to replace the crankshaft bearings and oil seals when upgrading the crankshaft. The use of crankshaft mounting tools, such as (#27338000, #21071000 & #18119000) also makes a lot of sense!
