    That’s what I thought because I couldn’t see 8mm on each side at all. I cut it down using a angle grinder, the engine mounts I have cut down are cut all the way so they are in line with the two vertical bars, and the engine fits tight. All my wiring is done to a good standard and looks original and not a bodgery, I’m not a bodgery guy. I'm getting the bike m.o.t'd soon anyway and will see if it passes. The bike does feel like it wants to power wheelie but that was just a test ride.

    You took the words out of my mouth, " it's predicting drivers stupidity ", that’s why I am a good rider it's like I can predict the future and I know how to ride as well.

    But I will take your advice into serious consideration and see how the bike rides for a week or two and see if I feel safe on it and to see whether the bike seems it can actually survive a 125 engine.

    LOL engine straight to frame? yes it fits with a bolt.. but is FAR to close to the frame, the top of the cylinder will hit the bottom of the seat bucket support and the exhaust wotn fit....

    this is why people who dont have a clue should just BUY A 125 RUNNER/TYPHOON

    has anyone got a typhoon 125 wiring diagram?

    Does anyone know the colour order for the 4 wires that go into the ignition switch?

    also what size main jet would suit a standard 125 with a 25mm carb & air filter on?

    jimmy just do the conversion.

    plenty have been done and some done right and wrong.

    its up too you if you do it right or wrong.

    ive taken mine appart now so i have no pics, i put the sub frame on the 50cc frame
    then put the 125 engine onto the subframe. so i done it right (grinded down the sides of the sub frame so the 125 engine would fit in tight)

    its all good, and dont worry about the engine bushes. there on the subframe and on the mounting points on the 125 engine block. so its all good

    just go ahead with it mate, but make sure you have all the part and equipment before starting the conversion ;)

    as i said, mines fine and im an amatuer tuner/ noob

    There already is info on how to do it on this forum. Plenty of it as long as you use the search.

    Always makes me laugh when people who don't get an answer written out to them and put on a plate have a hissy fit yet if they did what they were supposed to do before making ANY NEW TOPIC by searching they would find out their info in a matter of mins.

    The point is that it isn't as easy as it's made out to be. It's very easy to say "yeah just slap this in and do that" but in reality unless you actually have a clue which as far as i can tell from this topic you do not you will have a hopeless time of getting it done. If you do manage to it will be a death trap and this is not something we want to openly advertise people should do on our forum.

    "conversions" are popping up all over the place as people are more than happy to slap together a 125 out of a legit 50 and a load of stolen bits as we all know it's getting a lot harder to find a legit 125 out there that you would be happy to buy to part up for a 50 conversion...?! Do not for one minute think that they are all in complete safe and working order. In actual fact I'd be betting my life on 95% aren't.

    I'd be taking both Minors and gileratyphoon172's advice as they aren't just repeating someone else's experiences. This is first hand information before it gets diluted by the Chinese whisper effect of online forums.

    agree totaly wiht tero... conversions are ok if done correctly.. the mounts do wear out eventually no matter how well there done, its just not made for the weight and stress the 125 engine causes. theres fuck all point converting a typh or runner from 50 tho.. totally pointless. i have a 125 frame that i need to send back off as its come back as a 50 (was first registerd a 125) so somones got round it that way.. still illegal.

    buy the frame/bike you want to build.. if you cant buy it then convert one from a 50. there are typh 125's and nrg pannels fit fine so fuck all point.. runners? i dont gwet why people want a 125 runner, they fel unsafe, letalone a 50 conversion.
