It would be far to powerful; the frame would snap in half before you hit 1500rpm!

Not sure exactley, but you have quite a lot of other problems, you will need the full FI system, new exhaust header (the pointy has an oil cooler) and that before you have started putting the engine in.

Sort of. But it's better kept simple IMO.

No you won't, you can run it on the curvy ignition system and carbs.

However, you'll be paying a lot more £££ for a pointy one, for more work, more complications and their own vices.
Stick to a curvy one.

Sorry, I have no idea why I said that, for some reason I was thinking of converting the bike to FI. I crawl back under my rock. Does the cuvey stuff fit straight on or do you have to modify it slightly?

New crank for a curvy sv is .... £340... + vat...

did you find out if the engine is goosed or not...

It sounded like big end shell bearing might have turned...
