Crankshaft -BGM Pro Touring (Rotary Valve) 60mm Stroke, 125mm Connecting Rod, Piston Pin Ø16mm

• STROKE: 60mm

• CONNECTING ROD LENGTH: 125mm

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

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

BEARINGS
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 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 approximately 5 PS performance. Unfortunately, Piaggio never really changed this design with the later displacement increases . So, the crankshaft's load capacity is already exhausted with the standard 200ccm models with 12PS in terms of calculation. The crankshaft cheeks are very narrow and have very little overlap (cheek material that is available in diameter above the lower crankpin). This means that neither a particularly high press fit nor a large crankpin can be used, as would be necessary (for the performance capacity of today's engines).
The BGM PRO Touring crankshafts have a very high material quality and bearings. 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 25PS. We recommend the use of a lightweight flywheel with max. 2300gr for engines in this performance range.

Conclusion
All in all, the bgm PRO crankshaft offers highest quality in all respects with every component. 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 operation.

Tip
It is best to order the shaft seal 24x35x7 from Gilera Runner directly with it. The wedisitz of the bgm shaft is wider than usual and can therefore be driven with a double-lip wedi.
