Product Information

Full details

This Naraku Cylinder Kit (NK101.17) is designed for Peugeot Speedfight 50 LC models (1997-2000) seeking a high-quality, reliable replacement for original cylinders. Its key benefit is enhanced durability, especially during the break-in period, thanks to a molybdenum-coated piston. A potential caveat is that it's a direct replacement, so significant performance gains beyond original specifications should not be expected. The kit includes all necessary gasket material, piston, rings, and small parts, allowing the use of the original cylinder head.

FAQs

Can I use my original cylinder head with this kit?

Yes, the Naraku Cylinder Kit NK101.17 is designed to work with the original cylinder head, simplifying installation and keeping costs down.

What is the purpose of the molybdenum coating on the piston?

The molybdenum coating provides extra protection and reduces friction, especially during the critical run-in period, minimizing wear on both the piston and the cylinder walls.

Do I need to re-jet my carburetor?

While this kit is designed to match original performance, minor adjustments to the carburetor may be beneficial for optimal performance and longevity. It is recommended to check your fuel-air mixture after installation.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

A proper break-in period is crucial and typically lasts for 200-300 kilometers. During this time, avoid hard acceleration and sustained high engine speeds.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the cylinder, a molybdenum-coated piston, piston rings, small parts (like wrist pin and clips), and necessary gasket material.

Will this kit increase my scooter's top speed or acceleration significantly?

This kit is primarily a high-quality replacement part designed to restore original performance. Significant gains in top speed or acceleration beyond the original specifications are not expected.

Troubleshooting

Engine lacks power after installation

Verify the piston is installed in the correct orientation and that piston rings are seated properly. Ensure all air leaks are sealed and the carburetor is correctly adjusted for the new cylinder. Confirm the break-in period is complete.

Excessive smoke from exhaust

Check the oil-to-fuel mixture ratio. Ensure you are using the correct type of 2-stroke oil. Inspect the oil injection system (if applicable) for proper function.

Engine overheats

Ensure the cooling system (liquid cooling for LC models) is functioning correctly. Check for coolant leaks. Verify the air filter is clean and not obstructing airflow. Reconfirm the carburetor settings are correct.

Noise from the cylinder area

This could indicate improper ring seating, insufficient lubrication, or loose components. Check the piston pin clip security and ensure the cylinder head is torqued correctly. Review the break-in procedure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced piston and cylinder protection during break-in.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Includes all necessary components for installation.
  • Maintains compatibility with the original cylinder head.
  • Provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to OEM parts.

Cons

  • Primarily a replacement part, not designed for significant performance upgrades.
  • Requires careful break-in procedure for optimal longevity.
  • May require specialized tools for installation.
  • Compatibility is limited to specific Peugeot Speedfight models and years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for the Peugeot Speedfight 50 LC models manufactured between 1997 and 2000. Ensure your scooter matches these specifications before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the engine is cool before starting.
  2. Carefully remove the old cylinder and piston assembly.
  3. Clean the crankcase and transfer ports thoroughly.
  4. Install the new gasket material as provided.
  5. Mount the new piston, ensuring correct orientation (usually indicated by an arrow pointing towards the exhaust port).
  6. Install the piston rings, paying attention to their placement and gap alignment.
  7. Fit the new cylinder over the piston and rings.
  8. Reassemble the rest of the engine components, including the original cylinder head.
  9. Crucially, follow a proper break-in procedure. This involves riding gently for the first 200-300 kilometers, avoiding hard acceleration and high RPMs, and allowing the piston and cylinder walls to mate correctly.

Care:

  • Regular oil changes with quality 2-stroke oil are essential.
  • Monitor for any unusual noises or performance changes.
  • Avoid prolonged periods of high-stress riding, especially during the break-in period.
  • Keep air filters clean to ensure proper air-fuel mixture.
