Crankshaft -BGM Pro Touring (Rotary Valve) 60mm Stroke, 120mm Connecting Rod, Piston Pin Ø16mm

• STROKE: 60mm

• CONNECTING ROD LENGTH: 120mm

• INTAKE TIMING: Rotary Valve (cheek width like PX125/150)

• PISTON PIN: Ø16mm (Ø15mm with Conversion piston pin bearing, see accessories)

BEARING
The lubrication of the lower connecting rod bearing is done via two large lubrication slots and a total of four additional pockets on the side. The SSC racing bearing and the side thrust washers ensure a solid bearing. The lubrication of the upper connecting rod bearing is done via two lubrication holes. The INA piston pin bearing is included in the scope of delivery of the crankshaft.

APPROVAL
The crankshaft design of the PX engines is based on that of the first 125cm³ engines from 1960 with approx. 5 HP output. Unfortunately, Piaggio never really changed this design with the later displacement expansions. So the load capacity of the crankshaft is already exhausted with the standard 200ccm models with 12HP theoretically. The crankshaft cheeks are very narrow and have very little overlap (cheek material that is available above the lower crankpin in diameter). This means that neither a particularly high press fit nor a large crankpin can be used, as would be necessary (for the performance capability of today's engines).
The BGM PRO Touring crankshafts have a very high material quality and bearing. In addition, the crankpins are glued for maximum torsional rigidity. Due to the positive experiences, gathered in many thousands of test kilometers of our own daily used engines, we approve the BGM PRO Touring crankshafts for engine outputs up to 25HP. We recommend the use of a lightweight flywheel with max. 2300gr for engines in this performance region.

Conclusion
All in all, the bgm PRO crankshaft offers the highest quality in every respect. Precision in manufacturing, used materials and above all the precise balancing leave nothing to be desired. This guarantees an extremely smooth and vibration-free engine running.

Tip
It is best to order the crankshaft seal 24x35x7 from Gilera Runner directly. The seat of the bgm crankshaft is wider than usual and can therefore be used with a double-lip seal.
