    right mate basically u want an aprillia sr 125 or typhoon 125 lump.. you can use a runner/drag 125 lump but then you gotta mount a radiator etc..

    im sure you will need the loom for the new engine u purchase too..
    then theres other things like brakes etc.. u can normally pick an sr/typh lump up for about 100 quid +

    oww sorry keep ya pants on you proved me wrong back to the point of this thread


    you will need to adapt your engine mounts if im right you will need a sr or typhoon engine air cooled easier to do than with start messing about with radiators and water pipes you will also need a coil and cdi for the 125 not always the case on a 125 loom as iv put a 125 engine into my 50 runner frame and all i used was the cdi and coil and everything else works fine you will need 2 join a few wires here and there tho

    hope this heps just basicly same as gazells buh orwel lol

    right, whoever started this noinsence about sr engines can just shuit up.. sr engines SNAP IN HALF IN PIGGY MOUNTS.. look about the site for evcidence of this.

    secondly, if you are serious about putting a bigger engine in a MOPED then factor in the sva test.. im not helping anyone with conversions if there gonna be registerd as 50's..
