Good day all, my name is Cooper i am originally from London but i now live in New Mexico. I am in the process of picking up i believe it to be a 1993 600. My question would be, how easy/cheap would it be to put a new engine into this frame? Would i be able to put in a newer engine or would i have to have the old one rebuilt?
I appreciate any response
Cheers
Cooper

 

hi, welcome to the forum. sorry i don't have an answer to your question. but i'm sure someone here will. good luck.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

[sm=welcomesign.gif] to the forums Cooper! As far as your question goes, not sure if different engine designs fit in a standard mount pattern. If you are looking for a newer type engine, why not find that bike? Alot will be affected with another motor, like the suspension and handling characteristics.

 

Honestly, I am not looking for a newer type engine, the '93 engine would be just fine with me for now. I just wanted to see if it would be worth it getting a newer engine or just to go ahead and get the current one rebuilt. All i know about the current engine is that it holds about 60 psi compression in each cylinder.
Anyway
Cheers
Cooper

 

Welcome to the forums Cooper! All that I can suggest is to compare prices in replacing the engine and repairing the one thats in it. Good luck!

 

welcome.....replacing engies arent too difficult if you have some mechanic ability and especially since its carbed and not FI.
