If you are new to my blog, here a short recap for you.
I replaced the rollers and the belt at 37.000 km. 12.000 km later the new rollers are in extremely bad shape, see: WARNING! bad Piaggio rollers batch while the belt is in mint condition without any sign of wear or tear.
I am now on the road with permanent 2 persons on the bike and the gas consumption is now
- a bit above 5 liter per 100km
- or a bit below 19 km per liter
- below 45 miles per gallon US
The colt conversion still works very well, right now with the used rollers changed the 2 mm washer against a 1 mm to see if that changes the consumption.
So far the acceleration from the stand and around 3000 rpm took a noticeable hit and acceleration in the mountains is also less satisfying, the overall rpm is down a bit and we will see if there is a change in consumption.
With 38.500 after an 8 hour tour through the whole island mountains the water pump seal went bad and started to drip noticeable out of the weep hole.
