Wow really. So hypothetically how hard is it to convert a 125 to 250. Would there be issues with shocks/frame strength I'm coming from off road world where throwing big engine in small truck usually leads to other suspension steering or frame issues

A 250 motor will bolt right in I believe..... but you are better off just buying a 250 from the get go.... However, the 125 is a ton of fun to ride and a lethal weapon in the right hands... Good luck :thumb:

Just wondering. I would rather get a 250 then cobble one together it just cool to learn stuff like that.

For instance my Xterra has a Titan front diff and suspension to gain lift.

there is less than 10lbs of difference between the 125 and 250 motor.

I am looking at buying a project bike and found a RM125 for $300. It's a 2000 and a pile of parts right now. I have lots of mechanical experience with jeeps and off road vehicles but nothing with bikes. I need opinions on whether it would be worth it to get the bike parts and assemble it
