Cagiva Mito 125: Cylinder Barrel & Head Identification Guide
One of the most confusing aspects of restoring or tuning a Cagiva Mito 125 is identifying which cylinder barrel and head combination you have. Over the decades, Cagiva produced several versions—ranging from the early 7-speed Mk1 models to the final SP525—each with unique port timings and combustion chamber shapes.
Using the wrong piston-to-cylinder combination or mixing incompatible heads can lead to poor performance or catastrophic engine failure. Use the codes below to identify your setup.
Common Cylinder Barrel Codes
The identification code is usually cast into the side of the barrel, near the base or the exhaust port.
73037: The "Standard" Evo barrel found on many 6-speed models from 1994–1999. Known for reliable power and good port timing for street use.
66650: Found on earlier 7-speed Mito models (Mk1/Mk2). Often sought after by tuners for its aggressive porting.
72666: Another common variant often seen on late-model Evos.
A0401: Typically associated with the modern SP525 models. Designed to meet stricter emissions standards while maintaining the 125cc displacement.
Cylinder Head Identification
The head must match the piston crown profile (Flat Top vs. Domed).
200H: Designed for Flat Top pistons. This is the most common "Full Power" head for modern Evos.
200C / 200G: Often found on older 7-speed models, these are typically designed for Domed pistons.
SP Heads: Rare, high-compression heads used in the "Sport Production" racing series. These require precise squish-band measurements to run safely.
Crucial Matching Rule:
Flat Piston = 200H Head Domed Piston = 200C/G Head Mixing these up will either result in zero compression or the piston hitting the head!

Repairing a Cagiva Mito End Can silencer
Here is an alternate way of repairing an end can if the carbon-kevlar tube is not totally junked and replacing is not mandatory.
The part of the damaged tube must be removed. I would still be comfortable if the rest of it is 20cm in length at least. Use a piece of thick sandpaper to mark your cutting line. Any metal saw will do the rest of the job.
The same length should be removed from the perforated pipe.
And then welded back in again if necessary.
