Question about motor..

[pizza]

I was wondering if an 06 kawi 500 motor would fit in an 06 gs500??

[mach1]

with some modification I will. use the search It has been done before

[RevvinKevin]

What happened to your '06 GS motor?

[pizza]

floated a valve

[littleblackjeep]

If your gonna go to the trouble, why not swap something bigger in? 600, 700?

[mach1]

because an Inline 4 will not fit nor will it balance well

SV 650?

[pizza]

Lol Pretty sure only thing I could fit in there would be a single, or parallel twin..

[ben2go]

Sv will fit.The ninjette 500 has been done.You'll have to search for it.There's a chinese knock off that uses the GS frame and a motor just like the SV but it's rated at 250cc.Can't memeber right off which brand it was.Hyosung maybe?

[mach1]

how would an SV engine work? Im curious?

[qwertydude]

The bike with our frame is not a chinese bike it's Hyosung, Korean. But it's still a cheap buzzy bike. I don't know how you can make a 90 degree v-twin buzzy but the koreans have managed to do just that. It looks amazing though, and if you wind out that engine it makes a sweet exhaust note since it's a v-twin.

a gr650 engine would fit, although ne would have to change the head, ( exhaust exits at an angle. this is/will be my next project. ive got a gr650 in my workshop

[ben2go]

The GR 650 is the easiest but they are rare in the US.The GR650 Tempter was only imported for 2 years.Also the GR is a 5 speed engine and max rpm is around 8000 rpm.The GS head allows the engine to spin up to 11000 rpm.
