Cylinder ITALKAST GR-V 135 ccm cast iron, direct intake, 4-valve diaphragm for Vespa PK125

Sporty PK125 cylinder kit with direct intake on the cylinder, classic 4-valve reed valve and PK-specific intake manifold.

The ITALKAST GR-V 135 for Vespa PK125 is the less expensive version of the sporty GR-V concept. Instead of the more complex 8-valve diaphragm, a classic 4-valve diaphragm is used here. This makes the kit cheaper, but does not change the basic design: cast iron cylinder, direct inlet on the cylinder and a sporty reed valve setup that is specifically tailored to the PK platform.

ITALKAST 135 cc Ø58 mm Cast iron Direct intake PK125

What makes this PK version so special

Direct intake on the cylinder: the fresh gas is not fed via the classic engine housing intake, but directly via the cylinder
4-flap diaphragm: simple, classic diaphragm design with GRP plates
Less expensive: cheaper than the version with 8-valve diaphragm, with the same sporty basic concept
PK-specific: compared to the PV/ET3 version, the main difference lies in the differently designed intake manifold

Direct intake concept for the PK125

As with the PV/ET3 version, the PK125 cylinder also works with direct intake on the cylinder. This means that the mixture is not routed via the standard housing intake system, but directly via the cylinder and the diaphragm control. This creates more freedom in the design of the engine and makes the kit particularly interesting for performance-oriented PK125 concepts.

4-valve diaphragm with GRP plates

This version uses a standard 4-flap diaphragm with GRP plates. This makes it simpler and more attractively priced than the 8-petal version, but it remains a clean, sporty basis for diaphragm smallframes.

Membrane: 4 flaps, classic construction
Material: GRP plates
Intake manifold: PK125-specific design
Advantage: cheaper than the 8-flap version, with the same basic direct intake concept

Timing and character

With 123° overflow timing and 184° exhaust timing, the PK125 version with 4-valve diaphragm is also clearly positioned for sporting performance. The kit is not intended as an inconspicuous replacement for a close-to-production PK125 cylinder, but as the basis for a deliberately sportier reed valve setup with matching peripherals.

Technical structure

Cylinder: Cast iron, bore 58 mm
Stroke: 51 mm
Displacement: 132.37 cc
Piston: Aluminum piston with two rings
Head: Cast aluminum head
Crushing edge: 1.1 mm ± 0.1 mm

Important note

The main difference between the PK125 version and the PV/ET3 version is the different design of the intake manifold. Anyone mixing parts should therefore ensure that the intake side and frame layout match the respective vehicle platform. Both versions described here work with the less expensive 4-flap diaphragm.

Conclusion

The ITALKAST GR-V 135 for PK125 is the right variant for all those who want to ride a sporty direct intake kit on the PK platform, but deliberately want to go for the cheaper 4-flap version. The difference to the PV/ET3 version lies in the intake manifold - the basic sporty concept remains identical.
