    Right i got a typh 125 fully standard with a a/c rolling nut engine wana do a lil project on it to keep me busy in my spare time i crashed it like two months ago cracked my carb my throttle and all that was fucked to including most of my pannels ive started to sand them down to be resprayed a nice dark blue i had to replace the carb couldnt find a standard one so i baught a dellorto 25mm with oil feed just for the time being needs to be jetted tho not realy sure what jets to put and i redone the throttle cable and splitter but its not realy working properly needs some work

    What i basically wana do is keep it looking pretty much standard and stock wana put a 172 kit on it and gear up kit then uprgrade the crank not sure what one i wana get depends if i can find someone to do the porting for me then mallosi reeds and manifold then belt variator and clutch and upgrade the suspension

    If anyones got any tips for me leme know or things i should look out also things i could get or do to it most of the work im probly just gonna do myself this my first project but i been riding for a couple years

    None.
    Nobody can tell you exactly what jet you need, every bike is different. The best way to do it is to buy a pack of jets and start with the biggest, working your way down until its perfect.

    Yeah they're good fun with just the 172 and carb tbh you will be very pleased. The gearup might need to be pressed in so worth a check if you go down that route.

    I had about 100 main and 40 pilot with a open filter. Pilot jet doesn't really need much tuning

    Good luck with it

    Change the wheels to 12", runner fx/fxr rear and early runner 50cc front, better choice of tires!

    What do you mean by pressed in ? And i want the gearup because i dont like it when its to jumpy on the throttle dont want it to just try lifting every second and i think ill just buy a pack of jets and work my way down

    It might be hard to fund a place that will do it and they might want it as a bare cases. I hated it with mine too I went a lot heavier on the rollers over 13gs

    The secondary gear-up is pressed onto the rear axle, you need a 10 ton press to remove and refit the gears. As for the front wheel, the early 50 runner will fit straight in, same speedo drive/spindle etc, the only difference is the disc is bigger so a caliper extension is needed and I think I've got a spare one to fit.

    The runner 50 front wheel has the same hole for speedo drive in it as the typhoon wheel, I'll have a look for the caliper extension. Any half descent scooter/motorcycle workshop will have a press. I have a complete runner 180cc gear set (rolling nut) for sale if it makes it easier for you?
