GSXR 1000 Motor in a Katana

[fins]

Can a GSXR 1000 motor be put in a 2005 Katana 750?

[whitecl0ver]

sure it can.....with enough time, and money, you'd spend more then a gixxer 1k costs to make it happen....so why not buy a gixxer youngin??

silly noobs....

Yeah LnL i'm sure he is referring to a newer Gix thats FI and liquid cooled...not older motors....

I know.... I was hoping that the thread would point him in the right direction.... Hopefully before the wolf pack finds this thread and eats him alive!

Yeah it can, why don't you throw a 190 rear on the stock rim too, that would be sweet.

Maybe he wants the comfort of the kat? And the durability of the steel frame?

I think to answer the question though, yes you can, but no its not just a bolt on mod. There will be custom fabrication involved (likely quite a bit too).

Wait.... I'm confused. What the hell is that thing circled in red?

Ok you wolves...Here is the answer to your question:
Per Special K...
"I've installed a few different engines into Katana 600 frames. The following engines fit DIRECTLY and EASILY into any 89-02 600 or 750 Kat frame:

98+ Kat 600
98+ Kat 750
GSXR 1100 (the old 1127 motor)
Bandit 1200
Bandit 600
Early GSXR 750's"

So yes technically you can put a GSXR 1100 (not 1000) engine in a Kat!!

Whoa! Let's not mislead anyone. You can put an OIL COOLED GSXR1100 engine in simply. The later GSXR1100's (from 93-98, right?) were water cooled and still don't work.

Don't listen to all the negative posts, of course it can be done! Figure 20-30 hours for franme modifications,another 10 or so modifying the fuel tank for the pump and the clearance for the airbox for downdraft injectors, and a couple days splicing the gsxr 1000 wiring harness into the Kat harness, a couple hours modifying your bodywork for the radiator, couple days getting the bugs out and you're riding! BTW, I'll take that old 750 motor off your hands for you.
