MMG Racing
-
Hi hope ye all are doing well. I was just wondering if anyone ever dealt with MMG racing before I believe they are based in Spain and I’m looking to purchase a cylinder of them but I just said I’d check to see if anyone dealt with them before.
Also would this suit a 2005 DT125r, I was running a 3MB00
This is the link to the cylinder

@Oisin
Why do you want an Athena 125 kit? Regardless of who or where you buy it?
For a 125cc I would repair or replace second hand...175cc is a different matter...

@Oisin Also you can just pay using PayPal so you are given PayPal Buyer Protection right off the bat.
You can put in a PayPal dispute after 180 days so you're more than covered!

@calum
I don’t even know if it’s a good price cause it’s a 125, not a 170?
Depends what country you live in. Postage can be bad, customs and postage? I don’t know... -
@spookdog I am sure there are benefits to having a 125 over the 170. Sticking with the same jetting etc is one of them.
For a brand new 125 kit I'd say it's priced reasonably enough. I think I bought recently the 170 kit for not much more. Still haven't used it yet. But I felt for the money it was really good value, even if it's just a back up cylinder.

@oisin I have purchased from them and had no issues, the goods arrived fairly quickly from Spain and were well packed. Their prices are pretty good and they do stock/sell a lot of quality parts. Due to brexit you will get hit with import taxes tho sadly.
-
@ninja I didn't pay any import duties.

@calum When was that, pre or post Brexit?
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!
-
@ninja a lot of the time you won't get hit with any of that not sure why
-
@ninja Very much post. I just received some new radiators from China with no import duties either.
I've got some Carbon Fibre parts from Czech Republic coming...apparently ordered those months ago.
I've got some bearings coming from Netherlands.
So far no import duties.

@calum yeah I've had a bunch from china and never had Any fees

@calum @declan You've been very lucky then. It all depends on how the goods enter the country and which courier is handling the items. Since Brexit you have to complete a customs form for RM/PO and comply with Notice; 143 if your sending or receiving stuff from abroad. RM, Fedex, TNT, UPS and DHL are red hot on adding import taxes and goods will be held until they are paid. But it all depends on the value of the goods, anything under £135 or 150 euros is fine, but you will get hit with duties over that threshold.
