On the other hand...the PR250 (ZS172FMM-5), which is a 6 speed and has the balancing shaft, appears to have the same bolt pattern as the ZS172FMM-3A (stock engine on the Templar X):

Even if it fits though, this is a modest upgrade: same hp rating, but with a sixth gear and the balance shaft.
So, unless someone has a good suggestion, I see no viable direct replacements for the stock engine besides the PR250, which isn't really worth the money for an extra gear. |
It looks like the PR250 mounts are a bit off too.
Honestly I’d pay for the 6th gear.
Power wise I think Joe Henner is going to be the go to guy with his 300cc kit.
