| Project Mito
250cc Having been frequently asked to find a larger motor to fit the Mito Evo we have decided to take this project on using the Aprilia/Suzuki RS250 two stoke V-Twin motor due to its massive power output relative to size and weight together with its familiar smile-inducing two stroke characteristics. Stage 1 The V-twin motor is fitted with one-off motor mounting brackets. Sprockets line up and ancillaries are being connected. Lowest tip of Mito right frame rail has to be ground off allowing clearence for clutch cover, Oil pump control cable has to be re-positioned, but apart from that the motor fits in the main frame easily. We are using some tatty Arrow pipes for testing, and may modify these to improve ground clearence. Most control connections are straightforward the most complicated include amalgamating Mito wiring loom to RS ignition and exhaust valve control circuits to make one neat and tidy wiring harness, also finding a suitable hose/routing for coolant return circuit to mito radiator. |

2 The next steps are to find and connect suitable oil and coolant reservoirs, then its lamps and bodywork. We will need to adapt gearshift link, secure various ancillaries and modify/fit fairing lowers to get to the MOT stage. We have now fitted speedline wheels, they weigh a lot less than the Mito standard wheels & look better too. It Looks like we may have to modify expansion chambers to improve overall ground clearence. |
