Product Information

Full details

This Naraku 70cc Cylinder Kit V.2 is designed for owners of Gilera D.N.A 50 scooters (2000-2007) with water-cooled Piaggio engines (from 1997 onwards, pentagonal type) seeking increased performance. Its key benefit is enhanced power output through a larger displacement, aided by a Naraku piston with a protective molybdenum coating. A potential caveat is the need for carburetor adjustments and potentially a new cylinder head for optimal performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of installing this 70cc kit?

The primary benefit is a significant increase in engine power and acceleration due to the larger displacement.

Do I need to change my carburetor?

It is highly recommended to adjust the carburetor jetting by approximately 7-10% and a 17.5-19mm sports carburetor is advised for optimal performance and engine health.

Can I use my original cylinder head?

While you can use the original cylinder head, a dedicated 70cc cylinder head is recommended for the best performance results, as it is designed to match the increased cylinder volume.

What is the break-in procedure for this kit?

Follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in period (typically 300-500 km). During this time, vary your engine speed and avoid sustained high RPMs or full throttle. This allows the piston and cylinder walls to properly seat.

Is this kit compatible with all Gilera D.N.A 50 models?

No, it is specifically designed for models from 2000-2007 with water-cooled Piaggio engines (pentagonal type, manufactured from 1997 onwards). Always verify your engine type.

What does the molybdenum coating on the piston do?

The molybdenum coating helps to protect both the piston and the cylinder walls during the initial break-in period, reducing friction and wear.

Will this kit work with my stock exhaust?

Yes, the Naraku cylinder is designed to be compatible with both series (stock) and sports exhaust systems.

Troubleshooting

Engine runs poorly or hesitates

Carburetor jetting is likely too lean. Increase the main jet size by 7-10% or more, check for air leaks in the intake system, and ensure the air filter is clean.

Engine overheats

Check coolant level and flow. Ensure the exhaust system is not overly restrictive and the air-fuel mixture is correct. Overheating can also occur if the break-in procedure was not followed correctly.

Loss of power after installation

Verify all components are correctly installed. Ensure the exhaust system is not blocked and the carburetor is properly jetted for the larger displacement. A restricted exhaust or incorrect fueling will cause power loss.

Difficulty during break-in

Ensure you are varying throttle and engine speed, avoiding prolonged periods at high RPM. If you experience pinging or knocking, the fuel mixture may be too lean or the timing may be off. Check carburetor settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a noticeable increase in engine power and acceleration.
  • Durable cast iron cylinder construction ensures longevity.
  • Molybdenum-coated piston aids in a smoother and safer break-in process.
  • Compatible with various exhaust systems, offering flexibility.
  • Directly enhances the performance of compatible Gilera D.N.A 50 models.

Cons

  • Requires carburetor jetting adjustments for optimal performance.
  • A dedicated 70cc cylinder head is recommended for best results (sold separately).
  • May require other supporting modifications for maximum potential.
  • Installation requires mechanical knowledge and specific tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is specifically for Gilera D.N.A 50 scooters manufactured from 2000-2007 equipped with water-cooled Piaggio engines (pentagonal type, built from 1997 onwards). Ensure your engine matches this specification before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool.
  2. Disassemble the original cylinder and piston.
  3. Clean the crankcase thoroughly.
  4. Install the new Naraku cylinder and piston, following the included gasket set and manufacturer's torque specifications.
  5. Crucial Step: Adjust carburetor jetting. It is recommended to increase the main jet size by approximately 7-10% from your original setting. A 17.5mm or 19mm sports carburetor is highly recommended for best results.
  6. Consider installing a compatible 70cc cylinder head (sold separately) for optimal combustion chamber volume and performance.
  7. Perform a proper break-in period (refer to manufacturer guidelines, typically 300-500 km) with careful acceleration and varied throttle inputs.

Care:

  • Regularly check and clean the air filter.
  • Ensure proper oil-to-fuel mixture if using pre-mix, or verify the oil injection system is functioning correctly.
  • Monitor spark plug condition.
  • Listen for any unusual engine noises. Avoid hard acceleration during the break-in period.
