breagh Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Anyone know if the later Yamaha YBR 125 engine with Fi is a straight swap with the wee Scorpa 125/143/163 engines.? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Quite likely, but the FI won't work without a battery I suspect and fitting that would be problematic. That would also scupper the electric start which would be an even better consideration for us old gits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 It's in,had to swap the electrics though. Blank off the casing where the starter goes. Carb/ manifold bolts straight on. See how it goes tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Surely it has road gearing ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 They all do,,standard they run 10/11 front 57 rear sprockets to get round this but you really only have one usable trials gear. This isn't a problem as they have so little power anyway. Rode a trial today ,everthing in first,just rev it a bit more. Ran perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Soo, what DID YOU GAIN WITH ALL THIS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Eh,the original engine was knackered. You don't think i swapped it because I had nothing better to do? I couldn't get an old style engine. Edited October 14, 2013 by breagh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig10 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Surely it has road gearing ??? I suspect the internal ratios are all the same on these motors although I haven't had a look in either one myself. Maybe the TTR engines have their own gear sets, a quick look at the online parts fiches might answer that.
