FYI I want to know so I can know which parts I can use nambrand and aftermarket parts with. Thanks in advance |
Upsized clone of a Honda CG 125.

Welcome!
You'll find Wikipedia info on the CG125, and you'll discover that it was never distributed in the US or Canada. |

Here's a great read... http://world.honda.com/history/challenge/1975cg125/ That said, I've had 4 CG motors now, all non-counterbalanced. I'm looking forward to the TT250 to see if there's any discernable difference. |
So it being an up scale means there aren’t any performance parts for the engine? ( things like cams, bore kits, etc?)

hmm I will have to look in to that, thanks.
assuming the jug is big enough would it be possible to bore it to a true 250 and drop a Honda piston in? |
Honda never made a CG250, only 125 and 150, and those were workhorse engines not designed to make a lot of power. There is only so much you can do with a pushrod engine with a single lobe cam.
The counterbalanced engine is essentially the same as the non counterbalanced engine. Most parts are interchangeable within the same manufacturer but not necessarily between manufacturers. |
oh ok cool. Still I can't leave well enough alone when it comes to modding engines and bikes. ill have to do more research but if there are any known mods besides upgrading to a different 30mm carb would you be so kind as to point me in the proper direction?

Replace the anchor with a fmf or Pro circuit t4 exhaust.It Sounds much better and it pulls stronger.
|
ok thanks
|
After intake and carb changes, you could also take the time to port match the intake and exhaust and then polish the exhaust. It won't help much, but it'll make you feel better.
