Hi, I have a 1988 honda mtx 125 and the piston and barrel are shot, does anyone know where I could get a big bore kit for it? Or does anyone know of the 200cc mtx drops straight on? Keeping the 125 gearing etc? Thanks in advance
Steve

I would be inclined to replace the barrel and piston with standard parts and sell it and buy a bigger bike, as you must already have a full licence if you are going the big bore route. It will be worth far more as a 125 than a bigger engined bike.

I will agree with you there but it was/is my first bike and I just don't think I could bring myself to getting rid of it.. It will be a good bit of kit once again when it is all done.. And I'll be more of a danger to myself on a bigger bike haha! Cheers

Stick to the standard bore as these engines are not the best even when run at 125 cc, have a look here.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/honda-mtx-mbx-125-barrel-and-head-56mm-std-bore-/181584209921?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2a47432801

Keep it as a 125cc or else hope you get lucky with finding rocking horse shit (MTX200R engine+ancillaries)

There is no big bore kits around for the Japanese built MTX's, but the Italian built import MTX125's use the NS125R engine, and for that there is a 190cc Malossi top end kit, and I think there used to be a Polini or Autisa kit available once too?

Hi,
as others have said, mtx200cc engine with atac valve slots straight in
problem is finding one then getting a carb & exhaust as well.
Turns it into a far better bike, but the 200cc expansion chambers are almost impossible to find. So much so that when I gave my mtx125/200 away (wasnt viable to re mot) I kept the spare one I had.
wasnt deliberate, honest. lol
buyer thought it was xmas when I said "you want some spare bits?." & came out ma shed with spare 200cc engine, 200 carb, umpteen gears,new conrod etc
looked at me like I was mental..
anyway point is, new top end parts were getting impossible to find so bike became non viable to keep running.
the uk learner legal 125 was sh*te to start with anyway, far better options available,

cheers,
GAZ

Hi,
forget the boring commuter 4 strokes unless its just for getting to work & back.
if you want any kind of fun or enjoyment, get a decent 2 stroke
race replica(rs, mito or nsr),trailie (dt,rx or ktm) or sm (dtr,tdm) there's fun to be had from them all.
cheers,
GAZ

If anyone’s still wondering bout the bigger carb on these mtx 125’s. I’ve recently rebuilt the engine on 1. I blocked off the atac valve port with a metal bung and a polymer bush then I ground out the exhaust restriction in the front pipe then welded a 80’s cr 125 silencer on. I then fitted a pwk 28mm carb which fitted the inlet manifold and air box boot with a little heating with a hair dryer. Jetting wise it’s on 125 main (for now poss 130) and a 41 pilot (for now poss 45) also fitted a 1/4 turn throttle and dropped 1 tooth up front. It no longer sounds asthmatic and Revs hard ! If anyone can confirm if a 86,87,89 cr125 intake manifold would fit the mtx reed block that would b appreciated as looking to fitter bigger carb once port works been done. Also if anyone knows which v force reed block would fit ? Thanks
