sv650 conversion to a tl1000
 

dose anyone have any info or knoe if you can covert the sv650 to a 1000 motor..... my motor has recently failed and i have to buy a new one so i would like to know if this can be done

Anything is possoble (has been done before) but two much work. The guy that did it a few years says he would not attempt to do it again.

Buy a second hand engine or if you want a bigger engined bike sell the 650 either in bits the as or complete and buy anotherbike (SV100 maybe) .

Cheers

You'd probably make a few quid selling all the spares (if you can be bothered breaking your bike yourself, photographing it all & posting them all as spares on eBay...) :roll:

well the bike is already stripped into a million parts but i still own money on the loan so i dont want to part it out yet i have to put it back together and i can put a stock motor in it but i fiugred that if i had to spend the money on a new motor might as well get the biggest one in there i can.. i found a web site that has a motor mount conversion to go from a 650 to a tl1000 motor but it dosent say what kinda mods are involved

A website y'say? CAn you give me the link so we can have a look.

There was a stunt bike featured in SF mag that had a TL1000 shoehorned into a sv650 frame. Basically it'll involve removing everything between the side rails and creating a new brace/mount for the new engine. Serious graft and not something I'd do myself.

Why not just get a crashed SV650 off Ebay and use the engine from that? There was only available on there the other day.

Cos he wants a 120bhp motor at a guess :) Well, it's a job for the skilled and the brave but it'd be a laugh.

this is the site that has those mount conversion...... i can anyhting i need mount this motor i have a welder and all that good stuff but one of my main conserns is if the motor will fit in the smaller frame without cutting on the frame

So are you going to builda whole new frame from scratch?

no i just want to put a bigger motor in my frame
