Thank you so much! I hope it helped you! when I was first taking on the project I noticed that no one had a good video so I was determined to make one!!
These pit bikes are soooooo easy to work on, you do a very nice job, with effort and time, and lot of hard work, to show people that anything, and especially dirt bikes, take a lot of up keep. They are an investment. No matter what you get. SSR will last as long as any mainstream bike. If you ride everyday, pay for it.👍. Very good music in the video as well!
It smokes a little tho but I thinking of get a high compression piston for it wen I get paid if u watch I make s vid of it and I can ride Willy for mills and lots of other stuff like hill clickers but I get no views
@@davidarmenta4812 honestly it could even be a 160 I got it off a parts bike and like it seem faster and sondes different then urs and the 150 like more bark
Hey man I’ve been wanting to do a 150 swap in my 125. How do you know if the motor will fit? Is there like a bolt pattern to go by or how did you find one that fits? Cool project!
Amazing retro fit I bought a Works motor high performance engine from a company t-bolt USA that guy Vince really knew his stuff they build an engine for me complete I didn't have to do anything except install it even the wiring system was hooked up completely even the kill switch CDI coil carburetor with Janet all I had to do is add fuel two bolts sprocket and chain exhaust system and I was up and running in their time keep up the great work enjoy your videos Carlos in San Diego sent me
Hey man please help me you seem Really knowledgeable about bikes I just bought a ssr 125 that’s flywheel is stuck it doesn’t spin it’s stuck in 1st gear the back wheel is locked and it won’t kickstart I think the bike is seized up I got a really good deal on it how I would I fix it
David Armenta a new motors gonna cost like 300-400 in still in high school so I’m pretty broke but if I can get money to buy an engine can u like make a video on the installation and stuff is it like hard
David Armenta yea true but how exactly does it mount on tk the bike like with screws and stuff in viceo it looked like u put it up on that lifter tjing and it just went on lol
@@YouJustGotBilled It is held on by 2 motor mounts you can look on your bike and see one is on the top the other is in the back behind the sprocket near the swing arm
Would you recommend running an oil cooler with that engine? Or does it not really make a difference. Also, which engine do you think is better the lifan or the piranha. I am on the fence between the two engines not sure which one to buy.
I did the same swap and didn’t have to on mine until about 6 months of using it. Lost compression when trying to kick it over and adjusting the tappets brought it right back to life
I definitely have im fortunate that I have never laid the bike down on the right side or bent it this one is decently comfortable but I would like to change it but you are right.i don't know the size or where to get one that fits
I need some advice. I'm making a go kart just to have some fun with and was looking at the SSR 125cc 4 speed now maybe this but what I'm wondering is I'm 200lb.. will either one of these engines get me moving and around how fast you think? This engine will just be temporary till I get a cr125 engine
@@davidarmenta4812 Hey David, yeah!! Just u know riding it hitt8ng it hard and stuff. My kid bought one last year. These little bikes are awsome, just had the valves done on his. Put some dunlop tires and man they rip
Humm check your spark plug wire and Cdi box also try starting with no fuel on and the choke on. My stock ssr cdi box went out also check the ground wire is not rusted or corroded. Check to make sure there is a clean air filter.
Hello It has been up and going since the upload date probably a month before the video went up. I did have an issue with the breather tube being pinched between the motor case and the frame causing a lot of oil to drip from the case. I re routed the case breather tube (thick black tube at the rear of the motor) to the side of the bike by the rear break and foot peg. other than that its been an absolute beast! @@reneerothwell8972
AS you saw it helps to have another set of hands to help align the new motor to the mounts but i would def. try to have someone there to help if you could plus its more fun lol!@@reneerothwell8972
myself and a friend were just talking about it and i can 100% say yes! like with anything else with care and maintainace this thing can last. I have had this for like 3 years and when we ride its to the limits. never change the oil or let bolts get lose and you will hate this bike but with proper care i would buy this bike 10x over.
That is a good question I actually had to look but I got it for 800$ shipped from power sports distro in Feb of 2016 I haven't look at the price of them now but I would be interested to know if they went up in price.
I am going to make an effort to get out there what would you like to see. I want to get some riding stuff for sure but it just started to get nice outside so I'm ready!
@@davidarmenta4812 @David Armenta I would like to see how you would mount a battery for electric start. Im looking to get one of these but I dont want to be forced to get the automatic one to get an electric start built in. keep up the work man!
im nearly positive the SSR frames are identiacal the motor mounts should be the same as a CRF 50 so you should be good the specs on the motor website should ensure your bike is compatible

This is one of the best if not the best video I’ve ever seen to swap a engine thank you so much
Thank you so much! I hope it helped you! when I was first taking on the project I noticed that no one had a good video so I was determined to make one!!
I’m doing the same thing to my thumpstar tomorrow. Cool video man!

I appreciate the kind words so much!! thank you! I agree its the shopping cart effect you get out of it what you put into it!
I did the same thing with my ssr and now it’s a 150 love it way better feel like a complete different bike
it decently does! I can only imagine 150 that would be sick!

I believe if It says CRF 50 it should fit most Chinese bikes
Thanks, i used this to just get the motor off my lil 80cc. Thanks
no problem! good luck with the build!
There should be o rings for the mating surface of the carb to the manifold. Never have i ever seen a gasket be used there before
that's very strange I have seen both for sure
Where did you get your 140 engine I want to upgrade my crf70
I believe T bolt USA

I haven't any experience with oil coolers did you end up doing it!?
Love the sound track
i wannah do an engine swap too!!!
I have an important question, did you take the same cdi and cable from the 125cc system?
its not too bad! and it came with a new one!
Where do you even find this engine
Tbolt USA is where I got mine
I am looking to buy one of these bad boys, did u have to adjust the tappets and valves before running it. Thanks 👍👍
Knock on wood I didn't have to lol and I wouldn't even know where to start if I did haha I hope I never have to cross that bridge!

Absolutely i am way north of 200 lbs and it was breaking the back end lose for sure! top speed is around 40 mph but the torque is the best part!
@@davidarmenta4812 thank you bro I'm excited for this build!! This lockdown is driving me crazy lol
Is this motor a direct swap with the ssr125? Just blew up my ssr and I’m wanting to put in a piranha 140. Anything to watch out for?
It sure is!! swap away!
What clutch cable did you buy for your ssr piranha 140cc
I believe I got it from TBOLT but its the extended clutch cable they sell
Help I have a question can you bolt on the Chinese engines like ssr \etc to a pw80 Yamaha
no you can not these frames are the same as a Honda CRF 50
Okay thank you for the feedback
where did you get the motor from?
good question I got it from wholesale cycle they were super awesome and helpful with a part that was missing !
What kind of carb would you suggest for the piranha engine?
Well it comes with a makuni vm26 so that i suppose lol
Anything 22mm or bigger
And is there anything else i need to buy with the piranha 140cc motor to make sure that it fits that rear clutch??!!
Depends where you buy but the rear mount clutch cable should be all you need
@@davidarmenta4812 i bought from amazon and tney showed me the 42 inch clutch cable people buy with the motor.so i think that should do the trick
how hard was the cdi to hook up?
it should just be one plug under the seat
Whats going on David!! Awsome vid!!! Just wondering if u are going to make any videos riding the bike with the new 140 motor?? Thanx!!!
Absolutely we plan on it!! anything you would like to see specifically

Hey I want to do an engine swap on my ssr sr 125 and I wanted to know if a 160cc ssr engine would fit on the 125 frame
as long as it says it will fit a CRF 50 you are good!
my ssr wont start. has spark,compression and gas flow. bought new spark plug and carb. any ideas? 2014 ,ssr 125

@@davidarmenta4812 decided to put it up for another project. now has lifan 125 . how is the 140 holding up?
140 is strong as ever new video coming real soon for it! But it makes the bike way more responsive!
I would like a larger engine in my Coolster M-125. Maybe a 225 So I don’t overload the rest of the system.
Any suggestions?
I mean they make a 190 anything more than that I would say just a bigger bike
David Armenta okay I am looking at a 250 right now.
@@st.paulmn9159 that would be sweet ill have to look at videos of that beast!
David Armenta Cool
M-125 not so good on 65 mph zones
What does that black hose that comes out the engine ho to?
so what exactly do I need to buy other than the 140 if I need to swap from an ssr125
I belive it comes with everything you need maybe a UNI air filter
A 140 will fit on a ssr 125 frame right

How much does the engine cost
hey brother man will this work ina 1977 kd80 a series frame? i want to swap the 80cc for the 125cc
I would assume it would not this is mounted for a CRF 50 I am honestly not even sure if this will fit a KLX frame but odds are I would say no
@@davidarmenta4812 ok thanks man for the response
I wana see a SSR UTV 170CC swapped to a bigger motor.
How would u say the piranha holds up opposed to the stock ssr 125 or a lifan ??
Well I haven’t had it long enough to know but from power point of view even the 125 piranha feels faster than the Ssr
@@davidarmenta4812 nice. How long has your piranha been in and running and have u had any issues? Mine should be here within 3 or 4 more days max

What website did you order your motor
Can you make a video of how it runs please
I got you we went out and filmed today!
Just got my pirahna engine and cant seem to get it to idle and its a bitch to turn over to get it to start...idk what im doing wrong any ideas?
Can you link the engine
What intake mount is that I see it turns to the side
Its an UNI air filter and the mount is just what came with the motor I'm not sure
Which rear shock are you using?
I don’t remember the exact one but it’s 11 inches with dampening adjustments around 75$ on eBay
Who do we think we are
