My First Time Riding a 2 Stroke SportBike - Cagiva Mito

Do a track day test when your mito is working properly Or woth any bike you have haha.

[@LegendsGarage]

Agreed! The timeless Tamburini design is just gorgeous!

[@klsojenzljbenodbd]

@Quirin M. Eh debatable its an enduro and this is an sport bike but xcw is one of the best looking enduros

[@chernorizetzhrabar1313]

Definitelly the sexiest looking 125 cc, 2-stroke with AMAZING sound. ☝️

[@mako4772]

It is beautiful but I think the Aprilia RS (96-2005 model) pips it.

[@jlpedro]

For those who never had the chance to ride this bike, just know that the clutch bite point is at 4,000 r.p.m.. Below that, you will simply not get off the line. At 6,000 r.p.m. you can fully open the throttle and nothing happens. Once you hit 8.000 r.p.m., OMG!

[@Lakeladz.]

My fiance just brought me one and im in love with it

[@kevinwillemse4012]

I had the exact one the limited edition colour, at the time I was only 16 years old and it felt like I had a Ferrari especially here in South Africa I never saw one in my colour and I got it brand new, it was every kids dream wish I still had it I would keep it forever, just park it in my house as a collectors even. And there was no 125 that can handle the corners like that bike. Amazing to see again.

[@LegendsGarage]

Awesome! They are great bikes indeed. I picked up a Lucky Strike mito I will be restoring.

[@stuffanthings]

I miss mine, you can steer them with the balls of your feet and on a twisty road you have nothing like it.

[@GBLeatherAndUpholstery]

I had a 1999 one (T reg in England). Really relies on the revs and that power valve opening up. Needed 100% all the time or it would be boring at lower revs/ speeds. Super light and incredibly sharp brakes! Mine ended up having a lot of electrical issues, blowing fuses etc. But lovely looking bike, really unique!

[@shinya1215]

I've tried the 7-speed once, it's a really nice bike. I love the thin body feels like riding a bicycle (compared to my RS250 at that time) and very easy to change direction. Ride position is compact and racer-like, it make road riding feels like you are racing on track.

[@danieljames8240]

I have a aprilia rs125 full power and picked a cagiva mito 125 2001 yesterday and had to ride it to my mates because he had no cbt, I loved it so much so smooth to ride and feels alot better than the rs so I am thinking of buying one now 😜😆

[@tylergorman8943]

The 2 strokes get there power mostly in the higher revs so u should really be having the rpm higher

[@bobuxgamerfuckoffentligsek614]

Is this 2 tank auto blending oil whit fuel or do u do it urself?

[@dremiq6670]

@@bobuxgamerfuckoffentligsek614 Most of them have a seperate oil container where you just put the oil in and then you just pour gas in the tank and then the bike mixes it by itself, but most people remove them because they are really old bikes and the mixing pump could fuck up and u could fuck up your engine.

[@BlindingSun_]

My mixer died and blew my big end bearing on the A1 at 75mph 😢😢

[@zenzeypher]

you need to toastie that engine up before running high in the rev range or you could cold sieze it. Engine temp before giving it a good rag should be 60degrees, ride it around 6-7k till it gets up to temp then open it up. Warm em up and run em high in the rev range, 2 strokes gak up with carbon if you're running around 6k all day... Plus the battery won't charge properly either. If you're not getting decent pull in lower revs check the power valve alignment and maybe some 2 stage Reed valves. I've restored and ridden a lot of Mitos, my favourite bike ever.

[@zenzeypher]

Side note, if you're not getting it up to 60, you can tape up some of the outter radiator sections during winter. Cagiva did sell a thermal rad cover back in the day because our winters are a little too harsh for that big old radiator, they're meant to be ridden around warmer climates.

[@stuffanthings]

Yeah I had the same advice when I got mine, it never reached that temp. Other 2 strokes maybe but the cooling on these things is insane with the huge radiator

[@zenzeypher]

@@stuffanthings You need to cover the rad if you're not reaching 60-80 degrees. When new these bikes used to come with a silver rad jacket that wrapped and secured around the radiator. I just use silver tape in winter.

[@no-pb5xb]

@@zenzeypher im thinking about buying a cagiva. Is the sps525 a valid model or should i go with the normal Mito? What are the differences between those models exept for the looks?

[@zenzeypher]

@@no-pb5xb The SP is throttled with the newer euro regs at the time. The best Mitos you can get are either the MK1 or the Evo1. The SP525 doesn't hold a candle and they're a nightmare to derestrict.

[@robertsmith6739]

I had a 1976 Yamaha dantona 400 special 2 stroke at 30 to 40 mph it would shake and sputter. Full throttle was the way

[@marino4691]

Don't you stop the oil circulation if you don't engine break?

[@LegendsGarage]

When engine breaking there is no oil entering the cylinder.

[@Weed32coyote]

I have a Gilera with a Yamaha two stroke engine, low end torque is great, wheelies in first and second, I like it more than the Aprilia rs 125 and that’s saying something

[@hodgegamer1286]

That's because 2 strokes build power threw out the rev range , I've just bought a 2007 mito evo . I agree on what your saying but that's just a very good power 125 smoker engine, I had a alot of honda nsr before , these are rapid man 😂

[@Tiwey]

this bike is insane. its so damn fast in corners

[@OP360z]

when letting of the gas you need to pull in the clutch. less wear to the piston

[@manueldietz4270]

alternative: just a lil bit of twisting the throttle, so it doesnt decelerate

[@leozinhosozinho]

huh? is this a 2 stroke thing or just a bike specific thing? allways thought engine breaking was a-ok

[@lordlapswans]

@@leozinhosozinho it depence, most nieuwer bikes have a oil pump so its oke to engine break. BUT ! Alot of people disconnect the pump and mix our gas ourselfs. If the oil pump does not work you dont get any oil to the cilinder if you dont give gas.

[@iiiqvexiii8209]

@@lordlapswans my gilera smt 50 has a oil pump but I cant engine brake

[@jalilgod]

I think this only applies to the old 2 strokes without an oil pump. If the bike has the oil pump then it's fine to let off the gas with the clutch engaged because the pumping rate is adjusted based on the throttle position and engine RPM.

When you fix it Change cylinder to 73037 and head 200h or g, carb 35mm pwk or tmx, sp95 exhaust, 2 ring wössner piston and change electrics if needed

[@ackiid]

Vertex flat single ring ;) agree with the rest. Also tmx35 tends to run rich at least at idle, and afaik it is needed to have extra cooling when going from WOT to fully closed

[@ackiid]

And 200h head only, plus extra programmable ignition like zeeltronic

[@liamsomeone6333]

Vergeet niet dat je na rijbewijs B nog 4 uur les zal moeten volgen en dat je verder ook enkel binnen België mag rijden, zou zelf persoonlijk voor A1 gaan en zo verder opbouwen in jouw situatie

[@jonasv19]

Ik zou meteen wachten tot je oud genoeg bent voor het A2 rijbewijs of A rijbewijs. Een 125cc 4-takt is eigenlijk niet veel meer dan een snelle brommer. De 2taktjes zijn heel leuke machines, maar minder geschikt voor dagelijks gebruik als je het mij vraagt.
