    radduc, info on rs125 in the states

    hello man, saw ur post in members gallery, people get a bit pissed off about posting without pics so i started a new one!

    an rs125 engine wudn't go into an rs50, not without a lot of work anyway. the drive is on the other side on the rs125, and the engine acts as a spacer to the swingarm, which is about 2 inchs bigger on the rs125 (i thought about fitting an rs125 swingarm to my rs50)

    you can either fit a 400cc+ like hybrid (think thats rite?) or,

    You can get someone in the uk (stu ) to find you an rs125, drain and strip it, and send it over in a crate, i'v seen an artical on this forum about shipping from italy to usa before, will try and find it.

    the rs125 is a totally new bike to the rs50, my rs50 is highly moddified and it is nothing like the power of an rs125, plus the 125 looks like a real bike!

    will look for that artical

    hey ruddac,


    yeah it is possible to do so but you would have to do an entire motor transplant from some 125 dirtbike. it has been done successufly several times by members on this forum. one guy even dropped a YZ426f engine in the rs. i think the actual motor swap isent that hard but the electrics and etc would be more difficult.

    by the way this guy has to be one of the best 04 facotry riders out


    ride safe
