How fast is a Cagiva Mito 125


                                           


No , i get asked this a lot and this probably aint what you want to hear  , but a mito with probably do around 105 mph maybe a bit more not 100% sure tbh never checked and do not really care ,  pretty similar or maybe a bit more that an Aprilia rs125  , I have owned a Cagiva Mito 125 AND an Aprilia rs125 for over 10 years now , most own there is less than a year .

whats more important is reliability , if you have a large budget then 40bhp  120mph is possible maybe , but if you are on a tight budget and need to get to work and back then wasting money on trying to make you mito faster in not clever .

cagiva made these bikes pretty fast to begin with in fact spent a fortune getting them pretty much spectacular and fast enough for me anyway ,  by the time you get one for around £1500 used your bike is highly in need of major overhaul forget what the advert said most bikes i see for sale suggest recent rebuild (why rebuild and engine and the sell bike ??)  , its the biggest mistake i see and the reason cagiva mito and aprilia rs125 in fact most 2t bikes  have reliability issue reputations , people buy a used example and then spend £300 on an exhaust another £30 on  an air filter maybe other stuff of no real use  ,they mostly fail to rejet or upgrade to a 35mm carb , fail to test for piston wear , fail to service the bike or even fit a new spark plug  , this is a recipe for failure .

you just added extra pressure on an already long overdue rebuild engine , and it WILL seize , it may seize anyway because of lack of maintenance .

be sensible buy your new bike get it fully serviced , have an complete rebuild of the engine done or do it yourself  , have the jetting checked or do it it all yourself as you will learn a lot of stuff you will need to keep your bike running , drive it for a year then if you do have to worry about more speed you know at least you have a sound bike to work on , i have seen hundreds of kids and men fail this way , they spend all there money on rubbish like exhausts , air filters and carbon fibre fluff ,  and when a real problem occurs which it will quickly on a used bike they have to sell there bike as they cannot afford repair .

Cagiva mito 125 for sale here on Ebay UK Cagiva mito 125  parts for sale here on Ebay UK  How to Derestrict the Cagiva Mito 125 (Full Power Guide) The Cagiva Mito 125 is famous for being one of the fastest learner-legal bikes ever made, but many are still restricted to 15bhp. To unlock the full 30bhp+ potential of the Mito Evo engine, you must remove the factory-fitted bottlenecks. IMPORTANT: You must perform all three steps below at the same time. If you derestrict the air and exhaust without re-jetting the carb, the engine will run lean and likely seize within minutes. The 3 Stages of Mito Derestriction 1. The Exhaust Expansion Chamber The standard exhaust has a "plenum chamber" (a small blind pipe) welded near the manifold. This disrupts the exhaust pulses and kills power. The Fix: Use an angle grinder to cut off the plenum chamber, weld a patch over the hole, and grind it smooth internally. Alternatively, swap to a Giannelli or Arrow sports exhaust for an immediat...

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:...
