Days are getting hella cold and dark. I am trying to muster the courage to crack open the GN125.
The cam chain I bought months ago has no quick link, and I am dreading the effort of pulling the engine apart to fit. Partly because if I’m stripping engine parts I might as well do a full rebuild/service. Why only do one job while it’s there in pieces?
That, and I really want to put a big bore kit on it.
I cannot find good information on the big bore kits because most posts online are naysayers, complaining if you want more power get a bigger bike etc etc. If I am keeping this little GN, I have the DR350 and I have the license to ride bigger. What I don’t have is a complete 250cc engine to hand to fit in lieu of the 125.
I want to mess about with it, so why not a 150cc or 165cc head?
