thinking about a mito/ypvs conversion??

[47x]

well chaps,wat you think,should I go for it??

[flames]

course you should.

[Deleted]

Depends how big you are as mito's are small. I am only five foot eight and sat on one yesterday and did feel very small

[47x]

yeh,used to work as a cagiva/aprilia mechanic so know there small m8.but if I get it for the right price I might go for it as they are nice,sweet handeling bikes,but SO unreliable!!

[Deleted]

And it's going to be more reliable with a power valve engine?

[350wayne]

YES DO IT MATE !!! I'm just starting the same project , bought a mito frame ( with the ypvs conversion kit ) from Dex 46 ( thanks Andy ) and I'm going to use the power valve motor from my lc hybrid project which I've now put on hold to progress the mito 350 ..... Have you got a ypvs motor already or are you starring from scratch ?

[47x]

hahaha.of course..after I rebuilt it...hahahah

[blyth1970]

[350wayne]

Yes , that's the one mate , I've been wanting to do the mito 350 thing for a while now and now I've got ( most ) of the parts I need ))

it handles pretty well to be honest,could do with someone who knows about suspention to do some final setting up on the front end,but m happy with it.
basic specs are :
martin77 mid range tune and pipes to match
pwk 28's with tdr reeds on pod filters
tss upgraded bearings
aprillia rs 250 front end and rear wheel
mito sp shock
r1 clocks
magura hydralic clutch
ask any question's you want and i'll do my best to answer,if your near wiltshire come and have a look

So thats where that went! I was seriously considering going for a second one im enjoying building this one so much lol.. damn you doug, you've done too much tasty stuff to yours lol your going to break my bank if i keep seeing the photos/specs of your machine.. would love a wee set of pwk28s.. 

you should definately go for it mate.. great fun seeing a brilliant idea come to fruition!! 

[350wayne]

Hey Doug , that's a very tidy mito 350 mate ! I'll be asking questions for sure when I get started on my project ( October ) ... I'd love to come and look at it but i 'm in Nott'm so not exactly round the comer (
First question is , what rad are you using ?
Best regards Wayne

[47x]

the mito one is fine for even a tuned valve motor wayne,the top hose even goes straight on(sort of!),but the bottom one needs a custom one.hth.

[turbopresh]

I'm running my rad backwards.. had the bottom inlet rotated 90degrees and a filler cap added as recommended by Doug.. picking it up today.. excited.com

Have heard reports of the rad coming into contact with the front wheel.. but I've bounced the shit out of it and it seems to be a fair bit off it..

[350wayne]

Right thanks for that , mito rad it is then ; luckily mito spares are cheap too . I've got a 916 front end ready to go in and a trick carbon seat unit for it as well ..... Can't wait to get stuck in to it !!!!!

[dougb]

When I ran my rad backwards it would hit the tyre under hard braking, I moved the rad forwards a bit and turned it the right way round.....there should be a pick of the rad brackets on my bikepics page....
Mmmmmmm.....carbon :-)

[47x]

not going to bother chaps,just want something already done/needing little work,just don't have the funds...oh well,nice thought while it lasted..good luck wayne350 and turbopresh/doug.

[turbopresh]

im going to get my heavy friend round to compress the forks.. yeah i saw the wee brackets you made up.. if i run it the right way round i'll have to reweld the lower pipe back in the original position.. could maybe try moving it up a tad if it becomes an issue.. all a work in progress at the moment lol which reminds me i need to busy myself with making a flywheel holder so i can get the flywheel nut torqued up and forget about the motor!

[47x]

good luck turbopresh,will still see how the build/thread goes mate,very interested!!
