I was wondering if an 06 kawi 500 motor would fit in an 06 gs500??
with some modification I will. use the search It has been done before
What happened to your '06 GS motor?
floated a valve
If your gonna go to the trouble, why not swap something bigger in? 600, 700?
because an Inline 4 will not fit nor will it balance well

SV 650?
Lol Pretty sure only thing I could fit in there would be a single, or parallel twin..
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?
how would an SV engine work? Im curious?
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,(http://members.tripod.com/tcmcstuff/images/GR650/StockBlue3.gif) 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
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.
