This YX 70cc engine is built on the classic Honda horizontal 2-bolt motor mount pattern, making it a direct bolt-in replacement for a wide range of Honda 50–70cc platforms, not just CT70. It retains the exact physical size of a stock CT70 motor, while upgrading airflow, ignition output, and overall performance.
Equipped with larger valves and a modern full-wave stator, this engine delivers strong usable power and reliable 12-volt lighting output (which can be regulated down to 6V) without changing the look or fitment of your bike. The semi-automatic transmission keeps things simple and rider-friendly — no clutch lever required.
This is an ideal engine for restorations, trail bikes, pit bikes, and vintage mini builds where factory fitment matters but modern reliability is the goal.

Very complete. I was able to install in original CT70 with no modifications. The engine came with more parts than I anticipated. The CDI can be confusing. I would recommend purchasing the CDI harness. One down side, Neutral is in between 1st and 2nd gear making it more difficult to find neutral.
Not exactly plug and play but very close , shift shaft is in the way of factory foot Pegs, you'll need to look at new ones if your pegs sweep forward.
Another awesome product from Bart Moto!! Engine was packaged so well and arrived in perfect condition!
