    Yeah worth it if you have a 172kit you will see big top speed increases plus you will be able to cruise at high speed without thrashing the engine!

    depending on spec...

    if you have the usual list of mods (kit carb pipe and the like) your better off with a gear up on thew 125 gearing.. if you have a couplke mods but nothing special switch for 180's

    id switch to a gear up on a 125 primary.. 180 gears arnt THAT much longer than 125.. just with a gearup the increase becomes SILLY.

    so ye, 125 primary/aftermarket secondary.. should have a 100mph engine so gear it for that

    i douobt you would use the better bottom of the 180 gears, hardly notice it unless you time yourself. will certianly miss the top speed tho

    ye its best to just have a few gearsets lying about if your into scoots, saves switching/re-pressing stuff all the time
