    How to do a motor swap?

    i was wondering if i could take the motor from my 88 600 and put it in the chassis of an 03 my plastics are bad and some other issues so if anyone can tell if it is possible to do the swap as just a bolt up options any help would be appreciated

    The frames are the same.
    90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

      D'oh

      They are pretty much the same frame, they are almost identical regarding an oil cooled Suzuki engine swap.

      Then again, I assume people know how to use google

        "pretty much the same" and "the same" are two different things.

          The 88 motor and carbs are junk.

            I have nothing against the 88 motor. The carbs on the other hands, those do suck.
