hey, ive had my YBR125 for a few months now but is sooooooooo slow and i jus need something faster, put it this way if u can get 60MPH on it your having a lucky day. some bloke randomly started talking to me about his bike the other day and said that theres a place round my area that would bore mine. ive asked several people and they say stay away form that idea, but others say go for it Rolling Eyes

I'm guessing you mean a rebore to a 180 cc ?

The speed increase will not be that high at all , it will lessen the re-sale'ability of your bike and also make it illegal - as well as the cost of getting it bored , carb set up etc....

Not worth it in my opinion - it's a new bike though so go to a dealer maybe you can get a trade in for an NSR or RS if speed is all your after Wink

If it's anything like my CG125...

It'll bore you first.

I think they are quite nippy round town, yeah takes a while to get to 60 but its a 125 at the end of the day.

Hi

Not sure how much you can bore it out by safely.

However as mentioned above it will destroy the resale value.

Note that the engine will run hotter, and with no real cooling circuit there is not much you can do about that beyond fitting an oil cooler.

All the best
