    Question yamaha blaster engine into a yamaha tri moto 175

    if anyone has any ideas on how hard it will be to swap a blaster engine into my 198? yamaha tri moto 175 the engine in it is officially dead and cant find the right engine for it so hoping some one might have an idea on how hard it will be to fit a blaster engine into it cause i have to much of a heart to let the thing go to a junk yard and be lost forever thanx for any help

    When my motor went out in my 175, i took a blaster bottom end and see how well it would have fit. It was damn near identical. Just have to move a couple of mounts and it would be good to go.

    Now, with the blaster motor... You could chop the back end of the frame fit the blaster swing arm/axle in there. The swing arm bolts to the back mount of the blaster. This would be a more in depth build, but it could GO if you modded that blaster some what. With the swing arm and axel being lined up to the engine.. you wouldn't have to worry about the kick start(wheels are far enough back), the chain would be lined up. You could fit hydraulic rear brakes. and a 400ex shock in the back.


    This is giving me ideas for my 125.. lol
