what motor would you rather have...

xX50RiderXx · Jul 10, 2006

alright im debating if i should sell my gpx motor (4up) outa my x2r and trade it for a basically brand new honda crf50 motor with a 114cc stroker kit, and a new manual clutch

i can buy that honda motor for 800$...i need some recomendations on what i should do..keep thee gpx and put a 131 or 140 and risk down the road tranny problems or get that 114 honda motor...the gpx motor is so slow on the x2 and im definatly going to already need to put a bore kit...but i just need to know if it a good swap or what

wait....is the trade straight up for the 114????

xX50RiderXx · Jul 10, 2006

no not a trade..i wish lol...i just want a fast reliable motor...my x2 is so slow (i think because the bike weights alot) and im gunna have to spend a couple hundred anyways just to get it a lil faster...but if i start modding the motor i have no clue if its reliable down the road

I think you'll get more pony's out of the 114 honda than you'l ever get out of the gpx.. i'd get the honda if i was you.

note: i run a gpx myself.

jmedina27 · Jul 10, 2006

id definately get the honda motor and sell you gpx. you'll be out a couple hundred buxs, but you'll have a faster and more reliable motor....good luck.

Go for the 114, it will be faster, but plan on having to do a 1k clutch kit down the road. I think there are some new bigger bore kits for the GPX coming out, and adding the big valve head I think it would realy rip! Just not sure how the bottom end will end up holding up when you get into the 15hp range.

what do u mean...why a thousand bucks

Hes getting the point across that you will need the clutch kit that mounts the clutch on the primary shaft instead of on the crank.

p3racer · Jul 10, 2006

not if you use a tb 3 plate clutch with a billet clutch basket with a set of dratv hd clutch springs. I think it would hold just fine to any amount of power but just wont compair to a tranny mounted clutch in feel but will work good and still be cheaper than a Takegawa or Kitaco clutch but ya ride red get a HONDA engine you cant go wrong

If I were you I would go with the Honda motor!

FiddyFreak · Jul 10, 2006

HONDA! Thats a no brainer right there lol. It good to see people are still saying honda even when they have a import motor and like it but would rather have that 114.

xX50RiderXx · Jul 10, 2006

ya i think i might just buy that motor...since i dont own a honda motor right now i never pay attention to what kits they have for them, and ive never seen just a 114cc stroker (just 108 and 117) so im gunna talk to him and see what exact parts hes using and what manual clutch hes gunna be putting in for that price...

Ya Do Your Research For Sure On What Your Actually Getting

melloyello · Jul 10, 2006

What gearing are you running on your gpx?

Staggs Racing · Jul 10, 2006

wouldnt the 114cc kit be a 49.5mm crank, and then the 114cc kit from TB? thats probably how he got 114cc from a honda motor

mxbmx930 · Jul 10, 2006

I haven't heard of a 114cc. Be careful what you buy. If it's trail bikes it's probably pretty decent. I think you should go with at least 117cc. Anything less and you might as well go with one of the gpx kits cause the difference isn't nearly as much if any. Also, the transmission on the new 4 up gpx's are a lot better I think.

p3racer · Jul 10, 2006

54mm bore X 49.5 stroke is 113.34cc

jdmp · Jul 10, 2006

yah trail bikes has a 114 kit. I say do the trade for the honda motor if its not involving too much extra money.
