ZS-125 Engine replacement?
Hi guys,
Im thinking about swapping my standard 125cc Honda CG clone engine from my Lexmoto/Zongshen Arizona for something like a 200/250. Are there any engines out there that will slot right in without any major mods/swearing? What about the CG250 lump? Will that pop straight in? Thanks in advance chaps. Culley.. |

I sort of doubt it. Even if it was possible I think if would be a lot less time and effort to just get a 250cc or so bike.

I would think if your 125 is a vertical engine, and not a hroizontal like the 110 derived engines a 200 would bolt right up...

I believe that a CG200 or CG230 (there really is not 250) would fall into place. The reason is that both of those motors are derived from the CG125, and I would guess that they're all identical externally.

If you have specific CG200 measurements that you need, just let me know.

yeah i agree with weldangrind. but the space for the bigger carbie needs to be measured between the head and the monoshock (?), tank and seat. i don t know what the zong 125 frame is like.

A counter-balanced engine has a tiny shaft at the front of the engine that resembles a crankshaft, and it provides (somewhat) opposing forces to the crankshaft. It's the finned portion at the front of your engine.
