Hi, does anyone know the original weight of the rollers that can be found inside the variator, due to replacing the original with heavier rollers?
Thanks
Hi, me again; still 16 and passed my C.B.T today. I've been hitting 45-50, and my bike is not de-restricted. I'm planning to de-restrict it, and add rollers to my Peugeot Ludix Blaster 2005. I've been leaving a Gilera DNA, but can't seem to hack my mate's Typhoon...
I'm pleased with the bike so far, and hope to get more speed out of the top end.
I had my 2005 blaster for 18 months and did 3,500 miles (around 5600 km), and it had not one problem. I never de-restricted it though, as this can sometimes mess with it, and I was only going around town to rugby and work, but now it has been written off as someone hit into me!
But back to the point; 5600km with no servicing is not bad!?!? The author of this thread could possibly have had THE worst Blaster ever?
Well I'm back still 16 years old and have been inches from death...:o
It all started on the 30th June 2007; going along main road at 50 miles per hour and coming up to traffic lights, and my throttle gets stuck on... had to run a set of red lights, and then I come up to humps. I'm hitting the humps at 50 miles per hour, plus not able to have control of the bike until I turned the whole bike off from the ignition...
I'm taking the bike to the garage tomorrow to see what the problem is. The bike is a Peugeot Ludix Blaster 2005 model.
Hi there.
I've had a Ludix Blaster RS12 since Xmas. I got it de-restricted after 1000km, and a week later had to take it back for a diff jet in the carb, cause they got it wrong.
A few weeks after that, my float bowl was blocked and I was charged 80 quid to get it fixed.
Then I put a racing exhaust on it and the cylinder seized!!!
ANYONE WHO CLAIMS A TOP SPEED OF OVER 65 IS WRONG!!!... I had to put a Polini 70cc kit in it that puts out 15bhp. It goes like stink, but nowhere near 70-75 mph.
I changed the rollers for 10 gm, cause the acceleration was enough to throw you off if you weren't paying attention. I kept up with 80cc motocross bikes, then, my crank bearings went, changed them and 3 days later the crank went. I replaced that, started the bike and it reversed. I took it to my dealer and they had no idea what it was that was reversing the transmission. Somehow managed to fix it, and now it will not start, no spark, nothing; cdi is fine, coil is fine, ht cap is fine, BUT no power to the plugs, the electric start will not work, and the kickstart will not work either.
I was told that the bike relies on its electrical system for the electronic oil pump, and if this does not work, the bike will not spark. Has anyone heard about this?...
Anyway, for what was made out to be the best scooter in years, this has been the biggest letdown in years. I will not buy another bike from Peugeot, and will be complaining about the bike.
Also the dealer would not fix anything, as they said when I had it de-restricted BY THEM, that the warranty was no longer valid.

I just got a new race exhaust, and got my bike de-restricted. I got 65-70mph out of it down a bypass. Is there any way to make it any quicker?

Hi, I am writing in reply of the man whose bike would not get a spark and won't start. I had the same problem; I had to clean out my carb, change the fuse near the battery, and fiddle about with the electrics. After that it was as good as new.
Hope my advice has helped.

Hi, I got my Peugeot Ludix "10" Blaster at the beginning of the month, and have just started to ride it.
I'm 16, and have never ridden a bike before now, and I think the Blaster is AMAZING.
It came with a 100 pound sports exhaust fitted, and it's in mint condition!
I got mine for £550!
No problems so far!
Pulls off just as fast as my mate's 2006 Jetforce!
WAHEY!
I would STRONGLY recommend. =)
I'm planning to buy a brand new Peugeot Blaster RS12. Should I buy it or not?
Heya, I've got a Blaster RS12 and I was wondering does anyone know where I can get the radiator cover plastics from, because mine is scratched; it's the plastics that cover the radiator.
Thanks, Jamo.
I've got a rcup blaster with Drapper fully illegal exhaust. Don't get the TT ones. My mate's got the same bike as me with a TT exhaust and mine leaves it for dead. Get a Drapper.
OMG, what did you people do to my review?! :- ( ( (
It's me, the author of the review. What's all this "where can I get this, where I can get that"?!?
This is supposed to be a survey of what is happening to the vehicle, is it OK, is it broken, why, how was it solved etc.
Anyway, to continue about the awful build quality of the Peugeot Ludix Blaster 50ccm Liquid Cooled.
Warranty expired, got the last things fixed:
- horn did not work.
- stander broke down completely, the scoot barely stood on it's own.
- the thermometer was still showing the exact same temperature, the dial did not move whether the engine was hot or cold.
Fortunately, since I was in the service shop for like 10~15 times with this scooter, and gone over there repeatedly for the same problem over and over, finally they decided to fix everything.
The thermometer had a faulty sensor, horn had dirty contacts and the stander was generally fixed up (you have to change it for a new one, but they fixed it for us).
I don't remember if I wrote they even changed the odometer, the control table that is. Now I have ~180km when the scoot actually has over 12500km hahaha! Such amateurs those service guys...
I changed the vario belt, rollers and the spar kplug a few hundred km-s ago, now the scoot is very nice to ride.
That's it for now.
I still wouldn't buy a completely new model ever again (only if it's been on the market for at least half a year).
I work on scooters, and the centre stands break because people keep sitting on the bike chatting to mates, or pull the bike on the stand without getting off it. If you use the bike as intended, they are pretty damn good.
I have just bought an 07 Ludix Blaster RS12 for £195 stolen recovered. Best £195 I ever spent. When I fix the damage the kids have done to it, I shall tune it right up. They are great little bikes, and looked after will go on for years.
I have had the Blaster RS12 for 6 months now, and so far the front brake does not work, it doesn't start electrically, indicators rage out, turn on and off when they want to, mud guard screws have fallen out, but I replaced them. And they possibly have the worst wheels for wet conditions.
I have crashed it once and cracked the front panel where the light is, but that's my own fault.
To be honest it is a lovely bike and it is nice when it is dry, but if I could choose all over again, I would wait to get a 125 because it is too much for its money.
Also what would you recommend for a used price if the problems have been resolved?
Re: Centre Stands breaking. I run a training school that uses Ludix Elegance scooters. Some are still restricted (for 16 year olds) and some are not. The centre stand has broken (or is just about to) on all of them. We don't let our customers mistreat them as described in an earlier post. The problem is the lever on the left hand side that you put your foot on is too weak. The metal bends and eventually snaps. The legs of the stand are fine, just the lever for your foot.
