Hybrid Suzuki 125/175 engine?

[oldmxracer]

Just about have my project "RM175" chassis done and will soon start putting the engine together. I mocked the 175 engine up and modded a pipe to fit so far.

Original plan was to use the 175Z engine with a 185 piston and the 125T transmission and the 175 big end needs overhauled. Just wondering what some other options might be now that I know so many pasrt need replaced.......

Where are the pics???

I'll snap one for you tomorrow hopefully. Just a semi-nice 125T roller for now. Only "trick" thing done so far was splicing the 125 stinger to the 175 pipe.

TS 185 rod kits are the same as 175.

Cyclegod...you are a master at this.
You should be renamed to ebaygod
All i ever find is rods only or pins only.
At that price who could argue and i might have put one away for a rainy day.
cheers....mario

Damm good price for that rod kit. I just paid a bit over Au$100 for the same brand for my TS 125 A crank rebuild at the repairers.

Here's the FrankenBike project. Still need seatcover, tires, ect.

Have you checked if the c/shaft sprocket lines up with the rear sprocket?
My 83 PE engine sat about 5-10mm too far to the left and i had to move the engine over in the 84 RM frame.....check my RM175 franken post.
Keep posting pics
Cheers...Mario

Went down much the same track with a later model PE. Awesome bike to ride.

Oh I went over your thread about that 175 with a fine tooth comb Bahnsy. Here's my 82 do-it-all-rider.

I have brought one of the rod kits for my PE 175 from the same company and all good except no thrust washers,which are still available from Suzuki,Cheers
