70-125 typhoon conversion.

my oil belt on my typhoon recently snapped causing my crank and kit to cease. i was just thinking if I can put in a 125 engine. i am aware that i would need a new cdi, ignition coil and wiring loom. i dont really want to pay out 200 pound on a little 70

 

yes mate can be done i just done the new shape sr with a typhoon 125 engine look at my posts if u need any info and pics u will need to change coil and cdi and voltage regulator and maybe wiring and get typhoon 125 engine mount

 

well your gonna need alot more than 200 to do it anywhere near safely and 8/10 conversions are normally un motable because of the fact that most people just bang the engine and wiring loom etc. in and then think its okay when really theres more to it than that...well to do it safely anyways and so that it would actually ride properly and not vibrate like hell or be light on one side

 

mine has np problems it rides straight and no vibrations

 

so if i buy an engine, the 125 mount, cdi, ignition coil and voltage regulator you rekon it would fit in no bother? i heard you have to gring the engine mount? i have the whole winter to do it, so i will take my time

 

all i had to do on the engine mount was grind either side down by about 1cm either side does not effect it in strenght wise as it only needs doin on the part that connects to the frame check my posts for more details took me 2 weeks n iwould not change it

 

cheers mate how much roughly did it cost?

 

i swapped my engine for a 125 engine i had to buy wiring loom and cdi and coil and voltage rectifier and engine mount cost me about 110 for all that from a bike breaker i love how mine is now neally finished just got to paint mine n thats it

 

lol yeh mate looks really good,, and is there any way i can get my flywheel off without the special tool??

 

ye mate all i did was get the nut off with a impact gunner of flywheel holding tool and i prised mine of with 2 screw drivers worked for me

 

got the nut off and i will go and try it now,, does it take a good prise? out should it come of quite easily?

 

a good prise me try each side bit by bit will take a bit of time but should come off

 

cheers for the help mate il go try it and get back to you

 

np mate here to help anytime

 

split the cases and the cranks out cheers mate!!! now whether to get a 125 or keep it 70 hmmm lol,,

 

go for a 125 lump lol be worth alot more and will be far better than 70cc mate i would never go bk now

 

yeh true true.. heard there not a lot quicker but a lot more reliable as they use a lot less strain tired of spending money on it every month lol
