Mate I even offered you a race on one of those with an FXR siting in it. Turned your nose up. Factory racers aye? :innocent:

17x4" rear and something else on the front.
125gp size tires work fine even though the rear rim is a little wide.

An FXR engine will go in pretty easily. The bottom rear mount works if you just put a couple of aluminium spacers in. Top rear mount can just be adapted as one side is a steel bracket and the other is aluminium. Then get your chief mechanic to weld in a cross member and support the back of the head. Easy. Now all you need to find is one of those beautiful FXRs.

Incorrect. The correct procedure is to make a hash of it, and then take it to Damon and say "Fix it please".

Damon did a sweet job finishing up dads bike though. Made a sweet sub frame and exhaust... And New kick starter. And stuff it here is the list:


Finished fitting engine to frame, and tidy up existing mounting.
Fitted oil cooler.
Made up new sub-frame to suit the tailpiece supplied. Fitted plastic inner rear guard and
fibreglass tailpiece. Fit various mounts to hold things. Made up nylon mounting points for
new subframe. Plastic can be removed with tailsection in place.
However, you will need two more nylon blocks to fit on subframe. All screw fittings welded in place for easy
removal of tank, plastic, guards etc. Supply various bolts.
Raised fuel tank. Modify kickstart to clear frame. Weld gear lever.
Nylon points on swingarm, welded in threaded blocks on each side to mount.
Fit nylon to each side frame and cut down alloy cast points to look better.
Header pipe/flange finished, aluminium muffler is finished.

Got to love Damon.

$750 seems bloody steep for an FXR exchange engine if you ask me, mind you from what I've seen most of the stuff they are selling is way overpriced, for FXRs anyway.

My mate has an RGV150 framed bucket with a TS125 motor and CR85 chamber. It has an FXR150 front wheel and RG150 rear wheel and he has slicks on them (which I think are semi toasted, miiiight be ok once heated up again... I dunno). It's pretty much a complete bucket but needs a little love. He said he would sell it for $400. If you bought that even for just the motor you could sell the rims and frame, petrol tank etc and probably get a $200 motor that could potentially be a rocket with some work.

Rick52 had a TF125 (I think) which is pretty much the same and that bike was a rocket at the 2 day meeting at Kaitoke a couple weeks ago and he probably isn't even finished hotting it up yet. Let me know if anyone is interested. (It has a 23mm carb on it atm, max allowed is 24mm).

F5 Dave
20th October 2011, 09:37
I would (of course) always go with the 2 stroke build. However you need to ask yourbadself whether you want to get your hands dirty sorting out chambers, porting head machining etc.

The TF with a standardish pipe will punt an unimpressive 12hp at a pedestrian 8000rpm. Just right for lugging that pregnant ewe up the hill or whatever it is that farmers do with them.

They can be made into a reasonable engine for kart tracks, they lack some potential, but heavily modified 20hp should be about right. More likely 16 which would be FXR level.

So have you got the time & skill to build one, or money to pay for someone to sort it?

4 stroke is the easy route it has to be said.

hmurphy
20th October 2011, 09:50
I'm glad someone mentioned something about the engine. I don't know what it's capable of but I'm surprised it's only around 20hp. Rick's TF was faster than my FXR with hot cams and carb. I think the only difference between the TF and the TS is the gearbox, am I right?

Rick 52
20th October 2011, 13:16
Not sure who built my engine but I think it was Pete Sales ,It runs a Oring head with 0.7 piston clearance ,The piston is machined to the same angle as the combustion chamber,Fly wheel has been machined but it runs standad ignition (I think that is holding it back) the pipe has been hand made it has a 24mm flat slide and it has very little vibration so I think the crank has been sorted as M Green says they vibrate like a bastard if you don't..The gearbox has no big gaps so I think it could be a TS box ..It was pulling 19BHP after the last GP but I have played with the timming and the jetting and I'm sure Its better ..Rs is a good weight at only 76kg wet and I'm only 70kg so good power to weight ..Short tracks I think favour 4T but long track 2T..I have just ordered my new Bridgestone YDC for the GP because old Dunlops don't cut it anymore after my crash LOL!

F5 Dave
20th October 2011, 13:21
re Hamish: no the TS had different ports, the TF is a bit more farm than trail, but that can be altered. I'm not 100% on gearboxes but I remember that the 100 had 5 speed & the 125 6, at least on the TS. The TS had a long model life. Real old ones had straight piston port & later ones 1/2 reed. The ER range had another revision in it.

The limiting factor in them is the crank that is not really suitable for high revs, though with anything you can do more mods, but we are stepping out of reasonable for most people development. 20hp should keep up with the fast bikes in wgtn if the spread is wide. Ricks bike is light & so is he. + he knows a thing or two, remember he's won the GP before on a fairly std FXR.

[edit] Rick has pretty much duplicated what I took too long to type.

I still think this would be a good basis for a econo bucket. Far better than dicking around with an AX100, RX125 or similar. Someone should buy this, it should be able to get on the track with some dedicated work & if keen could be tuned pretty well. Nude's Lonchin was in one of these & it seemed to handle ok.

He advertised it as a TS so I thought it would go in the RS but when I got it home it was a TF and the cases are different and the taper on the crank is not the same as the TS so I can't us the ignition....Sorry Choppa we seem to have taken over :facepalm:

Before you splash out on any big bore parts make sure they are supposed to be non competition based. Ride it & see what its like anyways. Good stuff you have a motor.

Has anyone thought about importing a Hyosung GT125R motor, boring it out to 150cc and doing some development work on it? They make 15hp at the crank stock, only down side is it's a bit of a heavy engine.

Yes, I looked at it a year ago and decided I couldn't be arsed, 15hp would be overly optimistic manufacturers figures

Bit old but what I would really like is an FZR150

Sold for $3300 That is a fucking bargain!!!

I think you may find that's not sold for $3300, as in bid, but reserve not met.

if you look further it hadent met reserve for $3300 and was offered and accepted at $4000 :innocent: (I'm not a stalker)

and probably very good money spent

Well it did finish 1st or 2nd in BOB, not sure what Hoogie was riding it

Yep $4000 is still a really good deal.

The ko-rider forum has guys in the UK dyno'ing in at 9hp at the wheel stock, 11hp with an exhaust and jetting sorted. I'd almost do it just for something different. Though thats a fair bit of money to spend to get 'back' to HP figures that you can start with by buying an FXR donk. I wonder how much benefit you'd get from the 'power' delivery of a v-twin over single cylinder motors in a 150cc class.

GN125, 7rwhp stock and 13.5 with not much work, I doubt there would be any benefit as most of time you're full throttle

An FXR might not start off with as much HP as you think

Never actually thought id end up building it but its finally ready to race!! Bring it on Trashy im ready!

Gave up on the 2 stroke ideas and ended up with an FXR engine.

CBR250 Mc19 Chassis
FXR150 Engine, standard engine and carb seem fine (now) until I race someone with a fast one!
Pirelli Slicks
RS125 Tail piece

Lets go racing!

I have never seen or heard of an FZR125, a logical conclusion would be that the engine would be a Virago 125 (hopefully with-out the single carb, but certainly no biggy to change.)

As has been said, a very heavy engine, and I have seen a few with broken valves from high mile road use.

Go the old school route, and tune up a 125 Virago, stick some 17inch wheels and slicks, a crowd pleaser, guaranteed.

Tassels for extra cred.

That's because I said a FZR150 not a 125 which is a 150 V twin in a TZRish frame that Yamaha built for 3-4 years in Thailand or somewhere similar, might be a big XV125 motor as it is only a 2 valve
