SV engine into fzr400 frame?

Hi, I'm new to the forum (mainly because I only bought an sv engine a week ago).

I was hoping I could draw on the many experienced peoples in this forum.

I just bought a 2002 sv650 engine, 10k, for £450, apparently it came with all engine parts, exhaust(no silencer), carbs, and a loom (with old alarm attached) no lock set though.

would it be possible for anyone to point me in the right direction for pictures of an undoctored loom, and how the hell it fits to the engine.....

I have the engine on a stand I made from old cnc tool mounts (apprentice at, automotive interior manufacturer), the frame fits, and if I can remember how I'll upload what pictures I have in a secondary post.

Thanks in advance

There are several connections to the engine and associated parts;

Three pin block from alternator
Two pin block from ignition pick up
Single wire from temp sender on 'stat housing.
Four pin block from neutral, second and third gear switches
Single wire from oil pressure switch
Three pin block from throttle position switch on right side of rear carb
Two spade connectors on each coil
Obviously there is a large cable from battery neg to engine case, and similar cable from solenoid to starter

I think that's all of them - those are the ones I can presently recall anyway. It would be best to get a wiring diagram so the specific wires can be identified from their colours.

You got them all except for the carb heaters and fan stuff... but that's more ancillary.

Earth on the back of the cases from the loom, TPS on the carbs

Looks a great project. Can't wait to see more progress.


Sent down the wires from home

Where are you going to put the fuel?

the fuel is going to be in what gap I have between the back cylinder and around it, with a section coming down between the subframe mounts into the subframe, like the RC51 endurance racer does it.

Hopefully :/
