Hi Adrian!

Well..... you need a 13 teeth front sproket!
Look at this page of Gilera Workshop manual!
I think to have a front sproket.... in some package....
.... in my garage.....

Have a nice day!
You are welcome!

hi marco

thanks for the reply
more bad news im afraid
my son has been using my bike to get too work and has managed to seize the engine
i have dismantled it and it needs a new barrel and piston.i have orderd the parts.
have you got any tips for this procedure.

regards adrian

Uhm....
Damn!!!!

Just one thing:
- remember that you have a cylinder of Gilera KK or KZ, RRT, ER....
......(1987 cylinder with APTS 1 exaust valve).
Piston it's the same of Gilera 125 cc., from 1984 to 1989 (with windows, ASSO-WERKE 2571).

Have a nice day!

...or take a Malossi-168 cc-kit with power-valve, alternativ: Pollini 156 cc-kit without Power-valve.

Hi guys!

I was in web..... I was looking for more information about Gilera XR1 125.
And what's happened?

Suddenly an image thunderstruck me, like 5 years ago!
My God! It's a ghost!

My.... really my Gilera XR1!
My Gilera when I was seventeen!

It's a really old advertisement.
Date it's april 4, 2006.

Well...... I found my bike, and I tried to re-bought it in december 2005...
.... but was sent in England...

Ciao marco scrivo da modena e sono possessore di una nuovissima xr-1 ancora da immatricolare per la prima volta.
Mi sto sbattendo per trovare il cupolino trasparente nuovo o in ottimo stato ma niente......
