    it should be ok with a bit of modding, i.e, grinding a couple of mill of each mount on the bike to make room for a bigger engine, bearing in mind typhons and runners have the same motor

    same engine mate, but id say a typhoon because of the power to weight ratio difference

    Use the search.

    The only differences in fitting each engine will be all the cooling system for the lc engine.


    The engines are not the same. They are pretty much the same but one is L/C and one is A/C.

    its not hard to convert to liquid cooled u need a radiator and a few other bits and bobs... and depends how much your goin to do to the engine... 172 kit... carb... pipe then air cooled... but if your goin all out tuning go for the liquid cooled...

    ive decided on just having the typh engine ( air cooled ), as it will save me money and time, and there is no point in converting as it will be capable of what i need. cheers for all the advice.

    better to use a 125 but the 50 frame allows for EASY fitting of any aftermarket pipe
