Engine swap

[johnking]

My 2005 750 has a bad rod so I'm going to just put in a new motor and part out the old one.How difficult is the swap?Can 2 mechanically competent guys do it in a day? Just out of curiosity,will any other motors be a direct bolt in? like an 1100 Katana or a GSXR?

I e never done it but read several treads where people with no prior experience managed just fine. Use the search function (top right) and just pop in engine swap - there should be plenty of info, how to's, things to watch out for, things NOT to do etc.
You'll also get threads that talk about people putting in bigger/different engines and what modding any they had to do. Putting in a 1200 bandit engine seems to be quite popular.

Good luck!

1 person can swap an engine by themselves in less than a day.
As far as your other question, there are threads such as the installing larger engine thread you should check out. It'll answer all your questions.

I swap mine with a friend and took me 1/2 a day with valves adjustment , and I'm not that big of a mechanic, Had to remove the alternator and starter to put in replacement engine . There was a guy near where I live that told me that the 1100 would have fit, but stuck with an other 750.
Best of luck finding the right one at the right price

Our first motor swap took 4 guys a day and a half and 4 cases of beer.

The second took me and Kreylyn about 5 hours.

Now Kreylyn can do it himself in about an hour and a half.

It would take me that long too if i had that much beer
