Ninja 500 Motor Swap

[soccersteve]

I have a buddy of mine who has a 97 Ninja 500 Ex. Does anybody have any ideas of motors that bolt up to the frame? I figured I would ask here before I try and look elsewhere. Also, what kind of other mods would you have to do with the frame and everything, tranny, swingarm, etc...?

thanks for the help

nothing esle will fit unless you wanna do some serious mods.

The '94 - '00 Ninja 500 motor will be a direct bolt-in.

Is he looking to go up in CC's?

For example, here is the crankcase for the 97 ex500 and the 97 ninja 750. Looks like a great swap with a great deal of work judging by the frame of the 500. Not to mention the extra work making the frame strong enough. These are compliments of bikebandit.com
