About Athena
Sport Pro or Racing
Athena Sport Pro kits are designed for everyday riding with more capacity and reliability. Racing and Racing V2 are for performance engines, which need a larger carburettor, an exhaust and other prepared parts. Racing Modular is the Athena version for AM6 engines.
Key dimensions
When choosing a cylinder, the engine family, cooling type (AC – air, LC – liquid) and gudgeon pin diameter, PIN10 or PIN12, all matter. Minarelli horizontal engines come with both cooling types, so check whether your scooter has a radiator and a coolant reservoir.
Gaskets and springs
When replacing a cylinder or repairing an engine, always use new gaskets – old ones no longer seal. Athena torque springs are rated by stiffness in kilograms (22, 27, 32 kg): the higher the number, the stiffer the spring and the later the variator shifts.
Frequently asked questions
Will an Athena cylinder fit my scooter?
Yes, if the engine family, cooling type and gudgeon pin diameter match those given in the product name. If your engine type is unclear, contact us on +370 608 07699 or at info@scootershop.lt with your model and year.
What carburettor does an Athena 70 cc cylinder need?
For a Sport Pro kit a modest increase in carburettor size is often enough, while Racing kits usually take a 17.5–21 mm carburettor. The final choice depends on the exhaust and other engine parts.
How do I run in a new Athena cylinder?
For the first few hundred kilometres, ride at moderate revs, avoiding long stretches at full speed and overheating. After running in, check the spark plug colour and adjust the carburettor.
When should I replace the torque spring?
The torque spring is worth replacing when it stretches and the variator shifts too early, or when you change the engine set-up after tuning. A stiffer spring suits performance engines, a softer one everyday riding.
