Fitting a replacement engine to a 2012 GTS

[david673]

Hi, I have a 2012 GTS 125 super IE, only 9500 miles but unfortunately the big end went in it this week.

I love the bike and I am thinking of obtaining a second hand engine for it.



A few questions;



How do I know what model of engine to look for? Mine was registered in March 2012, I'm aware a new design of engine was fitted sometime in 2012.



Will the key work with a new engine or will it need reprogramming?



Is it a job that someone with average mechanical skills can do?



Thank you



David

Hiya Bud, welcome to the forum, just so as I can help you is the 2012 engine carburetor or injection, 2012 may still be the leader engine, not sure if it was 2014 it went to I-get, as for installing a donor engine, its fairly straight forward and you do have the help of YouTube.(robot does one)
