Athena produce aftermarket parts for a wide range of scooters and are a good option if you want good power increases and reliability. Here we've put together a few suggestions for getting the most out of a two-stroke Piaggio liquid cooled engine:
Piaggio liquid cooled engines (e.g. Gilera Runner)
The Athena HP 70cc aluminium cylinder kit provides very useable all round performance throughout the rev range making it perfect for the street. This is an extremely durable kit and the porting and quality is excellent. This particular kit features a single piston ring, carbon fibre reed petals and a bunch of gaskets for squish etc. Fits all Piaggio liquid cooled engines.
We recommend you use a bigger carburettor of 17.5mm or above, however this kit will work fine with the original carb with a jet increase of at least 10-15% along with a performance exhaust.

The HPR Racing 70cc cylinder kit from Athena, like the HP cylinder kit is again a quality product with some great porting and it's also very durable. The way this kit differs from the HP kit is that it has a revised port layout and features a flat top piston for added power. This kit is also higher revving and therefore requires a suitable exhaust like the Yasuni C16 or Doppler RR7. This kit will work in conjunction with the standard carb with a jetting increase of at least 10-15%, but for best performance we recommend using the HPR kit with a 17.5mm carb or above. Also included in the kit are carbon fibre reed petals and a collection of gaskets.

The Athena Platinum series of drive belts are made in Japan so you can expect the same quality and performance as the Polini drive belts. Made from reinforced Kevlar Athena Platinum drive belts are extremely hard wearing. Please note that kevlar drive belts take around 100 miles to wear in.
