The Naraku 150cc Cylinder Kit 60mm For HM Moto City 125 2013 is part of the latest collection from...The Naraku 150cc Cylinder Kit 60mm For HM Moto City 125 2013 is part of the latest collection from Naraku. This is a Naraku 150cc Performance cylinder kit for Yamaha X-Max, WR, YZF-R 125cc and other 125cc mopeds with YI-3 engine. To ensure an exact fit and power output we recommend the matching Naraku cylinder head NK600.75 designed for Ø60mm bore and displacement. The original cylinder head can be used, but it is mandatory to correct the cylinder squish edge by spacing with appropriate foot gaskets. The carburetor or the injection system should be retuned (e.g. with Malossi Force Master). Delivery as pictured with all seals and small parts, necessary for assembly.
This Naraku 150cc Cylinder Kit (60mm bore, part number NK600.73) is designed for riders looking to enhance the performance of specific 125cc Yamaha models (like X-Max, WR, YZF-R) and other mopeds with a YI-3 engine. Its key benefit is increased displacement and potential power output. A crucial caveat is the mandatory adjustment of the cylinder head's squish edge if the original head is used, and re-tuning of the carburetor or injection system is essential for optimal performance and engine health. The kit includes all necessary seals and small parts for assembly.

FAQs
What engine models is this cylinder kit compatible with?
This kit is designed for 125cc mopeds featuring the YI-3 engine, including specific Yamaha models like the X-Max, WR, and YZF-R 125cc.
Do I need to buy a new cylinder head?
You can use your original cylinder head, but it is mandatory to correct the cylinder squish edge by using appropriate foot gaskets. Using the matching Naraku cylinder head (NK600.75) is recommended for easier installation and optimal performance.
Is re-tuning the fuel system necessary?
Yes, re-tuning the carburetor or injection system is mandatory to correctly match the increased engine displacement and ensure proper operation and longevity.
What is the 'squish edge' and why does it need correction?
The squish clearance is the gap between the piston and the cylinder head at Top Dead Center. Correcting it ensures efficient combustion and prevents the piston from contacting the head, which could cause severe engine damage.
Does the kit come with instructions?
The kit is delivered as pictured, including all seals and small parts necessary for assembly. Detailed installation manuals are typically available from the manufacturer or specialized service guides.
What is the expected performance gain?
The kit increases displacement to 150cc, which typically results in improved acceleration and a noticeable increase in overall power and torque. Specific gains depend heavily on proper installation and fuel system tuning.
Can I install this myself?
Installation requires mechanical expertise, especially regarding cylinder head modification and fuel system tuning. If you are not experienced, it is highly recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation.
Troubleshooting
Engine does not start after installation
Verify fuel system has been correctly re-tuned. Check for spark and ensure all electrical connections related to ignition and fuel systems are secure.
Poor engine performance or bogging
The carburetor or EFI system requires further adjustment. Check for air leaks around the cylinder base and head. Ensure the air filter is clean and not restrictive.
Engine overheating
This often indicates an incorrect air-fuel mixture (too lean) or insufficient squish clearance. Re-check fuel tuning and cylinder head squish measurements. Ensure cooling system is functioning correctly.
Unusual engine noises (knocking, pinging)
Check for incorrect squish clearance, detonation due to improper fuel tuning, or loose internal components. Re-verify all installation steps and tuning parameters.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This kit is specifically designed for 125cc mopeds equipped with the YI-3 engine. This includes models such as the Yamaha X-Max, WR, and YZF-R 125cc.
While the original cylinder head can be used, it must be modified to correct the cylinder squish edge. Using the matching Naraku cylinder head (NK600.75, designed for Ø60mm bore) is highly recommended for optimal results.
A re-tuning of the carburetor or electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is mandatory after installation.
Setup:
Disassemble the original cylinder and piston.
If using the original cylinder head, carefully measure and adjust the squish clearance using appropriately sized base gaskets. Consult a service manual for correct specifications.
Install the new Naraku cylinder and piston, ensuring all included seals and small parts are correctly placed.
Reassemble the cylinder head, torqueing bolts to manufacturer specifications.
Crucially, adjust the fuel system. This may involve changing carburetor jets or re-mapping the EFI system. Consult a professional tuner or tuning device manual if unsure.
Care:
After installation, follow a proper break-in procedure as recommended by Naraku or a qualified mechanic.
Regularly check and clean air filters to ensure proper airflow.
Monitor engine performance and listen for unusual noises. Address any issues promptly.
Ensure the engine oil level is maintained and the oil quality is appropriate for the increased engine load.
