    Looking for the power

    Does anyone have a RX125 engine I can have/buy?

    My one is getting quite sad and in need of a much overdue overhaul and am really keen to have another engine I can replace it with.
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

    Thats curious they can be bought brand new. Are replacement pistons, cylinders, and heads cheap? If so, they can be hac^H^H^Htuned and failures can be discarded cheaply.

    They also have automatic clutch, your chance to be last off the start line every race...... At least you'd be consistent I suppose.

    In that case, he's up against the Scooterazzi Madass, as that has a e/s too!

    When I was looking for power (and I was looking everywhere) I found it in my cheque book, an instruction manual and from advice on here.

    And why would it have a cable for the clutch if it's automatic? The picture shows it, but the words say automatic.

    Thanks for that. I think I'll try and hold out for another RX125, the current one has done well and I like the way the engines delivers the power. Hmm power
