hey ive had the bike for about 2-3 weeks now. its a great bike but its to heavy for the motor to keep a wheelie up. and its a bit too slow for my liking. its so heavy that it will barley do a burn out with me OFF the bike it does it but you got to clutch it like crazy. and when i wheelie i have to creep with the bike and rite befor i stop i got rev it all the way and clutch it and in less i keep the throttle pinned and rea brake it it will fall nothing will bring it back up witch brings me to my question. do any of you guys know if the dr 250 350 or maybe even if the 500 (i doubt but heh) will fit in the 125 frame. or if you know of any other 2 stroke engines that will fit. these engines are wierd tho because the bolt for the swing arm goes through the back of the engine then to the frame (pics are below) i do have a 79 cr125r 2 stroke engine that has the same bolt pattern with the bolt thorght the swing arm and engine BUT the engine sproket is on the oposite side meaning ide ahve to change the back tire (minor) and the rear brake some how wich are drum. and the engine needs piaton rings and maybe a piston kick starter and possibly some clutch work. well thanx to ANYBODY who even took there time to read my story lol
btw im 16 so i know how to do some thing but cant do n e major welding or stuff like that . but i know how to take it apart and put it back together so thanx .

I used to have one just like that. Trust me you don't want a faster motor in that frame, it has all it can take with that little 125 in it. Seriously, its not that fast but its a super reliable trail bike!
