i have a a aprilia sr50 air cooled model, its lacking power so i want to put a bigger engine in there, but not sure wat engins will fit and were i can get one
i have decided on a aerox 100 lump, as it seems my best bet wit h out making the conversion too obvios. iv been offer a 100cc lump and sr125 carb for £148 so i im going to take that, jsut goota get a aerox rear wheel , oh yea forgot to ad, yesterday me and 2 mates did a speed fight 50 to 100cc conversion, oonly took a couple of hours jsut had to changen the alternators over so we dint ahve to mess around witht eh engin harness.

donnnnt do it lol. i would never resort to puttin a speedy engine in a bike after takin a better ngine out . do wat u got told to do . if somones clever enough to figure out ur swappin engines then theyll still no. 172 it n stop waistin ya time n money m8 .ull thank us trust me
i wasnt going to put a speedy engin in i was going to put a aerox engin in, hte mounts ect are all wrong for a sr 125/172 lump, the shitty ped i have has top mountinh engin brackets :wallbash: supose thats wat i get for buying a sr tbh
i agree with minor liam that 100 speedy engine isnt so fast, high 70 zips used to wipe the floor with it id go for the 172 conversion then you might actually beat me
why is everyones responce to somthing "throw a 172 engine in it" it WONT go in without serious frame work, buy a 125 sr if you want a 125 sr... tune a 50 if you have a 50. its pritty simple.
i build conversions as i like fast light bikes, woudlent really make one for the road, mabey a typh/nrg/zip but doubt it as you can just buy a typh wich takes nrg pans if thatsd your cup of tea.
as for sr 50's with anything other than a piaggio engine, your dreaming if you think a 125 engine is a simple job
no offence lol aint ur fault but on this site its like u offer advice n then u say summink n everyone forgets thats anyone else even posted NOT UR fAULT I NO JUS KIDS LOVIN MINOR MANS WORDS LOL
