Title: rm125 / pe175
Post by: simon414 on June 22, 2013, 07:49:19 pm: Hi
Just a quick question would a PE175 barrel fit a RM 125 of the same year??

Physically yes but the stroke is different so you have to change cranks to .

I don't know about the later models 1980 on but the earlier ones don't fit no.

The 175 is a nice motor. I race mine in the evo 250 class, lots of fun and no real scare factor if you're a gumby ;D

Yeah, but using the bigger motor means you're up in the 250 class. So if you're looking for a 250 class ride rather than a 125, the 175 is a good option if you can't use all the power a 250 puts out.

Thought it would be a quick question lol

Post by: bigk on June 23, 2013, 09:16:11 pm: Yep, should have suck with the short answer, but went the long way to end up with a slim PE175 rather than a big bore RM125.
