What exactly do you mean by the 125 small end. Its the same bearing on both 125 and 175. Do you mean the gudgeon pin is shorter?

By all means swap to the proper pin. Are you sure its a 175 motor, the pin suggests that a 175 top end has been put onto a 125. Nothing to worry about as they are all but identical save for a clutch plate and some carb differences, it might be worth checking the engine frame number prefixes. AT2 is the 125, CT1 is the 175.
January 22, 201015 yr Author checked the engine number and it turns out that the bottom end is 125 and the top 175. is there any differences in the ignition system thanks charlie
