"The owner thinks It is worth a lot of money....."

I think you should turn around the bike-stand (on your picture)
and fill it with some bottles of beer. This is for my opinion enough
to change against the bike

Good luck :rolleyes:
And please show pictures about the reanimation of this SWM!

It will stay a 175. It is good fun to ride even better when you beat 250s

I have put a bid on a RS GS 175. If the motor is no good I will look at buying a 125 motor for it.
It is rough and ugly but it is an SWM and there hard to get.

No the 125 is a very good bike, but the 175 seems to be more easy! A SWM 125 is more fun than a HVA 250 even if it's a very good bike.

The club MX races I do are 125,250,open so with the 175 I have to go in the 250 class.
I am thinking of buying a 1980 HVA WR250.
A 125 does not sound like a good idea :/
I have not had a ride on a 125 Is the 175 motor that much better?

Why do you want to change it for a 125 NOEL?

Hi Noel

I dont think it is that simple. They use the same rods, but the crank pin position is different on 125/175....which alters the stroke from 54 to 57.5.

The pipes/silencers although slightly different can be interchanged.

Having got a 125 TF3, I dont know why you would want to convert your 175...its a much better motor.

Hope this helps

Martin

I am thinking of changing my 175 TF3 to a 125. Will the 125 barrel and piston fit on to a 175 bottom end? Is the pipe the same?
Cheers
