Engine upgrade for the ZB

Im not looking for a rocket for the zb just a little more power. Is this option any good. I really dont want to do a clutch and change the handle bar mount. I like this cuz its black and ita an auto. Does anybody know if a sponsor has these...? Here is the link 125cc LIFAN SEMI-AUTO 125/ 4SPEED SEMI-AUTO CRF/XR50-70:eBay Motors (item 230414726138 end time Dec-30-09 09:54:24 PST)


Thanks

Tony

Re: Engine upgrade for the ZB

Does that motor come with a lightning coil to run the lights on the ZB?

Tbolt USA (PM vendor) sells a similar automatic engine. Get hold of Vince and he will hook you up.Vince will also have the lightning coil for the lights too.

Re: Engine upgrade for the ZB

Like BW said, I have some options. An out-of-the-box Lifan iron jug is an OK motor, but won't have the more refined feel of the Honda with a BBK. I have new and used parts, motors, etc and can put you together a 107/108/114/117 using your ZB bottom end.

I hope to have a mainshaft-mount auto that will take considerable torque, by Spring.
