Any engine ??? No. Not gonna happen :cookoo:
Why?I been told by many that any year GS500 engine will work.The carbs and electrics need to if certain years of engines are used.Have I been giving the wrong info?I am still looking for an engine for my project bike.It's a 90 model that I'm building from the ground up.It has no wiring so engine choice should be wide open.Maybe I use SV1200 engine. :o
Any GS engine... Possible.
You said Any engine :cookoo:
Any GS engine will work, the only problem you will face would be putting a newer, oil-cooled engine into an older bike. A little time and patience is all it takes to overcome that though. Just fabricating up some simply brackets.

Then there is the different ignition rotor on the 04+ engines and the lack of a tach drive in the head.
ehhh, no big deal on the rotor. Who needs a tach anyway, I can tell you exactly where my bike is at just listening........
