Features

  • Precision machined.
  • Revised MRB retro old school port timings.
  • Reshaped exhaust port.
  • Reshaped inlet port.
  • Reshaped transfer ports.
  • Porting spec for high powered touring.
  • Extra material for further higher spec tuning and reed valving.
  • Large block cylinder same as Small block cylinder.
  • Uses 200 Inlet stud spacing on both small and large block cylinders.
  • Improved casting thickness around the cylinder head and base gasket.
  • Extra 4 studs if required to tighten the cylinder head.
  • Cylinder head machined so it drops into the bore to centralize squish clearances and prevent gaskets blowing.
  • Improved fuel economy saves money paying for the kit long term.

Technical

  • CNC machined.
  • Nicasil bore.
  • Uses MBgm Race-Tour piston at 65mm.
  • Power out put vary depending on set up and who's dyno is used, we've seen from 9 - 22bhp from a standard cylinder.
  • Available with normal 39mm crown height pistons to suit 107mm or 110mm con rods.
  • With the use of different base/head gaskets/packers port timings are adjustable to suit Touring or Road-Race use.

Development History

  • Mark Broadhurst has probably tuned and machined more Lambretta cylinder barrels and heads than anyone else.
  • This development and history of tuning has been put into our touring cylinder kit.
  • The key word is touring.
  • Mark has developed his often copied touring Stage 4 tuning technology and modified it into a modern cylinder kit.

Reasons to Buy

  • Long term reliable and powerful porting specs.
  • Can be used with standard or performance carbs from 18 - 35mm.
  • Can be used with standard exhausts, Clubman or performance expansion chambers.
  • New 4 studded exhaust flange but can still use standard exhausts no problem.
  • Thicker anti warp head and base faces.
  • Improved port flowing.
  • Alloy cylinder to run cooler with an extra top fin.
  • Nicasil plated for long lasting friction free running.
  • Easily modified transfer feeds to match existing over sized transfers.
  • Uses top quality MBgm Race-Tour forged pistons.
  • Cylinder head recessed into the cylinder bore for easy set squish clearances.
  • Extra four studs to bolt cylinder head down.
  • The most versatile Lambretta cylinder kit ever made.

Tips

  • Check ring gap before fitting.
  • Check the cylinder slides down the cylinder studs and drops into casing free.
  • Seal base gaskets or face with silicone sealer.
  • Seal cylinder head gasket or faces with a loctite.
  • Torque head nuts down to 18-20 lbs ft and re-torque at 500 - 800 miles.
  • Always check squish clearances, it should be 1 - 1.5mm.
  • These cylinders have a new shape inlet 200 type port, inlet manifolds ideally need matching to suit.
  • Early cylinders can be tight on the exhaust port fins, so some modification is required if using the MBgm Clubman
Gearing, depends on your weight, if you drive 2 up with luggage, the type of riding you want to do, exhausts used and the top speed you want from the kit.

Examples are from 5.2:1 - 4.3:1
  • Li150 Italian 15x46, 16x46, 17x46, 17x47, 18x47

I bought the 195 MB BGM cylinder kit and BGM MB clubman for my series 2 back in june. just want to say that i didnt have that much experience with lambrettas before i bought the kit, so i didnt really know what i was in for. I live in southern california where there are an abundance of lambretta shops and tuners, but i am a cheap ass, so i figured if i bought the tools and did the work myself, eventually i would end up saving money somewhere along the way. anywho, along with any cylinder kit or performance oriented equipment, i soon learned that to make the perfomance stuff more reliable, a GP crank upgrade was due, along with carb/intake, new bearings/seals, upgraded chain tensioners, cables, electronic ignition, electronic flywheel, and im sure a bunch of other expensive s*** i broke along the way. Jet200(Mark H.) was awesome about tutoring me, as well as a buddy who loaned me a sticky's manual, and i was soon on my way. i struggled to perform some remedial lambretta specific tasks due to a lack of specialty tools (i still dont have all of the required ones), however with borrowing from buddies, and having a handy little brother who is a machinist for a roommate, i was able to rebuild the crank case to sticky's specifications, and installed the cylinder kit according to what i found on the lambrettaspares website. as a newbie, i definitely found the gearbox rebuild to be fairly challenging(second guessing caused me to rebuild it about 6 times until i felt really good about it). however, the new MB cylinder kit/intake/exhaust was a snap to put together. it pretty much "fell on". the kit fired up on the second kick, and i actually have video to prove it. im running a 28mm BGM pwk carb with a 45 idle and 125 main jet. the kit feels like a dirtbike with lambretta bodywork! my speedo is in kilometers and i have a feeling it isnt very accurate, however, i am easily able to rip my way through the gears from stop light to stop light and easily hit 100kph in the process. the kit seems to perform down low, as well as wide open, as it can scream way higher than the stock setup of about 5,000rpm or whatever. climbing hills is an absolute breeze, and im able to power past cars or other bikes on the road whenever i am feeling hooliganish. i finally feel like i have everything dialed in, and i would definitely recommend the kit to anyone not satisfied with their small block performance.

This will be the 4th RT top end I've assembled and they just get better every time. Super well designed, manufactured, and packaged.

 
 

5 star 7. Neal b 08 Aug 2015 

A fabulous kit the quality of the parts are top end stuff. I had a bit work done by mark to this kit and I enjoyed the level of good workmanship but that always appeals to us older types

 
 

5 star 8. Stuart c 15 Apr 2014 

I had the 195 kit last year along with the matching clubman style exhaust. Running a Dellorto 28mm carb Fitted to my TV175 it runs sweet as a nut now the carbs set correct, ( took some messing with ) Sounds great very very pleased with it. Knocks spots off my mates AF 200 stage 4 tuned kit running a 30 mm carb.

 
 

5 star 9. Garry i 11 Dec 2015 

I have just fitted my rt195 kit and all I can say is quality from start to finish when you lay your kit out and start to install it everything fits as it should I used the 0.7 base gasket and no head gasket to get a 1.9 squish also fitted the mb exhaust to go with the kit and sounds superb started 3rd kick all I can say is follow the fitting instructions and you will have no problem thanks from a happy customer

 
 

5 star 10. Chris D 15 Oct 2016 

Hi received my kit had fitted and I've just started running it in so far so good.This is the 2nd kit I've fitted and I'm very happy with it.I've got a 30ml delorto carb it runs superb.It seems very quick thanks Chris.

 
 

5 star 11. Mark G 16 Feb 2017 

Not yet fitted the kit but I think there are enough reviews out there to suggest this kit is among the best small block kits on the market if not the best. Looking at the engineering and quality of the product it is produced to a very high standard and with all the additional parts the kit comes with it makes it excellent value for money. Great job once again.

Mike on 17 Mar 2024 asked "Hey Guys, I am fitting this kit I purchased for a Li150 S2 standard case. I am having trouble meeting the 1mm min squish clearance. Best I get is ~.85 with the .50mm base gasket and no top gasket. My kit did was missing the .70 base gasket BTW. Is .80 good enough when transfer/exhaust port alignment looks all good, etc., or?? Cheers, M"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Fit a 0.7mm base to get you just over 1mm

Paul D on 21 Sep 2022 asked "What are the running in details for this as there is nothing written in the setting up instructions."

MB Scooters Ltd replied: By the time youve set it up, its run in

Robert F on 29 Jul 2022 asked "Hi Currently re-building with this kit. I have read on the internet that the 4 stud bolts (not the main bolt down nuts) can strip the cylinder when removed (after some use), and therefore it is recommended that the threads be greased. If this is so using grease means that the torque on these 4 bolts should be reduced by approx 20%. What are your thoughts on this? Should it be reduced and what torque would you recommend for them?"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Dont use the rubbish screws that come with the kit and use our better ones, part number MRB0815K

Mick M on 11 Jun 2022 asked "Do you still use 25-1 petrol oil mix for a new 195 RT kit with reed valve on the carb for a 1982 Indian gp "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Only use 25:1 with old style mineral oils. Id recommend fully synthetic at 30/33:1

Mick on 19 May 2022 asked "Which pre 2stroke oil would you recommend with the 195 RT kit synthetic or semi synthetic oil when mixing with petrol "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: They will run on anything but Id say always fully synthetic

Andy on 11 Nov 2021 asked "Hi I have a 1961 Spanish Li150. Will this kit work with this gearing, if not what is the best option? Thanks"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: It should have a Li150 Italian type gearbox so is perfect

Keith W on 11 Sep 2021 asked "Hi Can you tell me what cylinder cowling will fit the kit on a series 1 block ?? And also is a 60 x 107 crankshaft ok ?? Cheers"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Any Series 3 cowling should fit, but they all vary so the odd one may need modifying

James M on 31 Aug 2021 asked "Is it ok to run this kit using a pwk 30mm carb thanks"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: You can but check the fuel flow it needs to be 0.5 ltr in a minute through the float bowl, if not dont use it

David M on 23 Nov 2020 asked "morning guys, just fitting the RT195 kit, Li 150 gearbox and a V4 exhaust. I have bought a 26mm phbh but I see from the manual that the 28 or 30mm is suggested. can you clarify what difference in performance I can expect between the two carbs? I am a big unit and am looking for torque rather than outright speed. "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Personally I would use a 28mm, its the one we've recommended from the beginning

Mark D on 01 Sep 2020 asked "hi mark im awaiting my rt195 kit to come in and would like to know if the jl3 exhaust that is on my bike would work ok with the kit .also i have a 28mm dellorto carb with tea strainer filter ,could you please tell me the jets required .thankyou "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes will work fine. Jetting spec is on our Tech-Site under instructions

Tommy on 18 Jun 2020 asked "If the new RT kits come with new black pistons does this mean my all silver piston has problems. I'm asking this as I've sttrpped engine and I have a lot of carbon on piston and cylinder crown"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Latest kits are Black coated sides of piston. Carbon is bad oil or too much oil

John J on 16 Jun 2020 asked "Good morning, Based on these marvelous reviews i will be purchasing this kit. I intend bolting it on to my Li 150 Eibar Winter Model, using the same gearbox and running a 28mm Delorta with a remote filter; could I ask what Crankshaft would you recommend? and any advice in regards to my chosen set up. Many thanks."

MB Scooters Ltd replied: I wouldnt recommend an original crankshaft. I would suggest at least a new Li crankshaft MBL0115, but always best to swap to GP MBGM0252

Leon on 21 May 2020 asked "Hi Mark two more questions 1. what sizes are the three alloy base gaskets that ship with the kit (shown in the listing). 2. the exhaust I mentioned last night, has two stud holes, but the cylinder has a four studs arrangement, does this mean their not mate-able??"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Usually the kit comes with 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7mm base packers. You can fit 2 hole or 4 hole flanges to the cylinder, just fit whatever stud pattern you need

Leon on 20 May 2020 asked "Hi Mark. Just wanting to know if/that this kit is a bolt straight on/out of the box kit. I've recently replaced bearings & seals, crank (MBL0115) upgraded the clutch (MRB0858K) sprocket 17th/cush drive ass, chain (all purchased from your online shop via Phil). And I have a Casa Clubman' 42mm 'Double Megaphone' sports exhaust, & OTT chain guide. Scootopia Sh2/22 carbie. And am now looking for a suitable cylinder kit. I've read good things about this kit, (along with the Casa 185, & the Scootopia 185 kits). A few more cc's never go's astray"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes the RT kit will work perfect with what you have but power will be limited by the small carb and exhaust.

Rsy C on 09 Apr 2020 asked "Would this work with a scorpion ss expantion, 28 delly on an italian gp150 Thanks"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes it should work fine. The gearbox isnt the best though

Andy W on 01 Jan 2020 asked "Hi. Just fitting a RT 195 kit on to my GP 150 engine at the moment, I am at the port timing stage. With the .7 base gasket fitted the transfer ports are just below the rim of the piston and the piston is just below the exhaust port by approx 3 thou. With the head fitted and no gasket I have a squish of 1.1 mm which sounds ok. Is this set up ok ? . Also using GP 200 gearbox with 18-47 sprockets, ancillotti exhaust, I am looking for a good touring set up with good mpg, I am looking at either the 26 or 28 mm deli carb, most likely with a remote filter, which carb would you recommend. Thanks for your help. Andy"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Sounds set up fine, Id go for a 28mm

Scott G on 30 Dec 2019 asked "Will these kits work ok with a standard crank, Del 25 and one of your exhausts?"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Providing the crank is in perfect condition it will work fine.

Martin C on 12 Oct 2019 asked "Mark I want this kit, currently running 1964 150 LIS with BGM stator and flywheel, clubman exhaust, standard gearbox and clutch, what carb do recommend ?"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: If you want to use the air box then a 25mm if your not bothered a 28mm with a Tea strainer

James M on 15 Sep 2019 asked "I am building an RT195 using an Italian GP150 gearbox what front and rear sprocket would you recommend I use?"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: If using a MBgm Clubman, you can keep it standard as the exhaust likes to rev or go for 16/17 tooth. Better still swap to a better gearbox

Graham C on 21 Aug 2019 asked "Hi, I have holed a piston on one of these kits and wanted to know if you are able to clean it up and supply new piston? Barrel has deposits on exhaust manifold side. Thanks Graham"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes please send it in for me to look at

Noel on 22 Jun 2019 asked "I have a 125 gearbox with 46/15 sprockets with jl3 exhaust would this kit be ok for this set up "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes perfect but the gearing should be altered

Chris on 09 Jan 2018 asked "Hi, would your RT 195 kit, using an MBgm clubman and a 58/110 crank work ok with a vijai super mk2 gearbox? "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes they work with any gearbox, but speed will depend on what sprocket arrangement you use

Vicente on 23 Jul 2017 asked "Hi friends. I have one Lambretta Li 150, Serie Ii, 1962, and I want to put one Kit Bgm Racetour 195 I have de carburattor Mikuni TM 24 in my original , Can I put this carburattor in this cilindro Bgm 195 ? What change would be I change? Thanksss you. vicente"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes the RT kits run with TM24mm, you need a Dellorto 25mm x 200 inlet manifold for it and you need to jet the carb

Vicente on 23 Jul 2017 asked "Other question: Is possible to put with Bgm Racetour 195, crankshaft 58 x 116 mm. ?? Thankss vicente"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes it is we do a Wiseco Suzuki conversion to suit his crankshaft

Paul C on 13 Jul 2017 asked "do the kits come with the new improved piston now ?"

Martin on 07 Apr 2016 asked "Hi. I have fitted one of your RT 195 kits along with your clubman exhaust and 25mm PHBL. would you recommend setting the timing at 19 degrees BTDC or going lower, possibly 17? Very impressed with the quality of the kit by the way! "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: We recommend 17 degrees to be safe. You could use 19-20 if you only ride in cities/traffic

Mick T on 06 Apr 2016 asked "I have the 196 race tour kit. What attempting to fit me air manifold to the cylinder the studs are at different centres than the holes in the manifold casting. Can you supply me with a compatible manifold?"

Tim on 24 Apr 2015 asked " Hi, i'm looking at replacing my mugello 186 and like the look of this kit. I'm running a 28 mil delorto and a nk road pipe for touring. Is this kit likely to be any better than the mugello and run ok with my carb and pipe? Thanks, Tim"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: The 30mm and NK work quite well with this kit. If you want a wider spread of power then use the MBgm Clubman which gives more power lower down and higher up in the rev range

Paul on 14 Oct 2014 asked "if i want to run this kit with a reed valve do you convert the piston in the kit or do I need to purcahse a new one ? Paul "

MB Scooters Ltd replied: I always modify these pistons for 360 degree inlet timing and also modify the inlet port and add a boost port this is our tune up part number LAB293

Mick D on 15 Aug 2014 asked "Hi there, just fitted the 190 RT ,running it with a 22mm carb at the moment with a sx150 gearbox. In 1st & 2nd it revs a lot and the gears seem very short,3rd & 4th are fine once you open up a little bit. Any advise on what would be the best carp and gearing for the kit. Mainly I ride 1 up. "

Nick W on 03 Jan 2014 asked "Hi Mark. Is the Meceur 60/110mm crank suitable for the small block RT195 kit? It's this one from Scooter Centre: http://www.scooter-center.com/product/7671779/Crankshaft+RACING+60mm+stroke+110mm+con+rod+Lambretta+DLGP?lang=en Based on the info on the Tech Site I guess it is but was concerned by their comment regard vibration. This shouldn't apply to RT kit though should it?? Cheers"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: They will work but will be difficult to set up port timings and squish clearances because of the limitation with the con rod length. Would be best with a 60x110mm or just the MEC 58 x 107mm

Alessandro on 01 Jun 2013 asked "Hello Mark. This kit is the same one that will be on sale also Scootercenter? Thank you."

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes they are

Jamie on 31 May 2013 asked "Hi Mark, thanks for that. Given your abilities with my favourite 2 wheeled machine I'd like to order one of your RT195 kits and just wanted to ask the following: As it's an imola 185, meaning it has the carb on the chain case side, and an ancillotti exhaust, Will I need to order different manifolds for these? If so do you supply them and what's the price please?? And the next important question given how long its been off the road for... is when can I get one, even a run-in one? Cheers, Jamie"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: If its a 28/30mm you need this manifold MRB0058K. Not sure about the Sito exhaust, ideally swap it for the matching MBgm Big box MBGM0253. I run them in in 5 minutes, doesn't take long if you know how to set up an engine

Jamie on 27 May 2013 asked "Hi Mark, I obviously like the sound of this kit, I need to replace a 10 year old blown imola, with a just fine dellorto 30mm and ancillotti box. I scoot around London mostly, 4 miles here, 10 miles there for getting to jobs. Will this kit be OK for that sort of regular small mileage use? (Obviously there's the occasional trip out..) If so, what info do you need in order to know I'll get the right set-up ,i.e. con-rod, crank type, gear sprocket thangs etc?? Thanks, Jamie"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes it is designed for exactly what you asked for and more. It will fit and work with any 58/60mm crank and either a standard 107mm con rod or an improved 110mm con rod as this allows you to set up the clyinder to suit you.

Jonas P on 26 Feb 2013 asked "Hello, I have got a TV s2 that I'm currently renovating. As I'm quite interested in some more oooumph and the improved cooling of a alloy cylinder, the MBgm rt 190 seems to be just the thing... except for: will you offer a piston to go with the TV crank (116 mm conrod) or will I have to change to a 107 mm setup? The thing is that I would like to have the 116 conrod to be able to convert back to the original cylinder if I should ever want to, and now there are gp/dl cranks with 116 conrods available... Thankful for your reply, //Jonas"

MB Scooters Ltd replied: Yes we will offer short crown height pistons to suit the TV type rod
