If the con rod broke, the crank shaft is done. It's not very expensive to get a crank, poison, cylinder, and head. Cheaper than buying a wrecked bike.

Just thought... Timing chain too. Still about 100.00 less than a new engine. But. New is new. ::)

Swapping a standard GY6 engine may work, but you must be ready to do a stator/flywheel swap.

I was the person who tried to do the GY6 swap in an Agility 125. The issue I also had with the swap was rear tire clearance. The design of Kymco's rear wheel may have the rear tire rubbing the engine case. So you might have to settle for a different wheel from a standard GY6 scooter so it fits on the axle properly without rubbing the case (after installation of the rear wheel bracket).

It's possible to do if you're willing to make a few sacrifices.
