nrg mc3 engine?

a kid i knew stupidly didnt listen to my advice, didnt replace main bearings or crank and they took out his hole engine after less then 50kms, so now hes after a new engine and i was thinking would a zip engine fit? i believe the mount is the same but i mean the shock and loom? cheers

 

no, the transmission is shorter on a zip (shorter distance between crank and rear wheel centre)

 

yeh i know but will this not just make the bike sit a bit higher?

 

nope, it will make the rear sit lover and the wheelbase shorter as the only wheel you can get in is the Zip one, i suppose you could put a zip front end on it and make it look totally f##ked up

best off looking for a proper set of NRG cases or even DNA cases as this would lenghen the wheelbase slightly (i beleive), would be different

 

surely if the wheel is closer in it will push the bike up, with a dna engine it will bring it down?

 

nope, it will make the steering quicker but assuming the lengh between the mount and the shock is the same, the bike will sit lower by about 2 inches because of the zip wheel.
