Etz 125 TO 150 ?

[Andy McFarlane]

Hello ,I have a 125 Saxon, Is it possible to have 125 barrel bored out to 150 to get a little more power ?

Hi Andy,

I Did that conversion in the late 90’s to an ETZ, but instead of a re-bore I sourced a full 150 top end.
It did make quite a bit of difference.

From memory as well as a rebore or new cylinder barrel you will need a new piston and rings, a new gudgeon pin, possibly a different head, 150 inlet manifold, carb for a 150 or replace the jets in yours to make it 150 compatible and all assosciated gakets.

When I sold the bike I converted it back to 125, so potentialy somewhere in the garage I have the conversion parts you need – that being said they have been laid up for around 20 years!

HiTom ,
Thanks for that, I think i will just go for standard rebuild at moment ,but if you come across parts in your garage I may be interested in them, I have a few 125 etz parts from a previous ownership that came with the bike.
