motor swap

How much work would be to stuff a FI motor in a 99 kat 600 frame.... 02 gsxr 600 or 750

A hole lotta work. Nothing will line up. At some point I'm going to try it, just need the major funds to do it right.

I'm considering it as a possibility at some point, but then I think it'd mostly just be a whole new bike with the original steering stem?

[92xjunker]

Hmmm, yip, I can see that's about what it would be..

I'm not seeing the advantage here. You want to put a modern, FI engine in a heavy as hell steel frame that was outdated in 1993? You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.

Just for the challenge of it . I was just going to do it with a bare frame first, then sell it here.

I understand wanting to do it for the challenge. However, I kind of doubt that the OP's motivation.

[92xjunker]

I agree, if I were going to do it, it would go into a project like yours. Other wise it just wouldn't be worth the hassle.

[arsenic]

The only acceptable reason to do something like this requires a response to the effect of "Because I can". If you can't, well, don't.

[92xjunker]

If you don't try, how do you know you can't? If I went by your theory I wouldn't even try half the things i did to my bike..... Ok..... KR specific, I see your point.....

[arsenic]

There's a simple way to tell if you can. Does a Lego set confuse you? If so, you can't.

[92xjunker]

. Not only that, I know most people don't have the tools to fab the frame to fit. Like a welder, metal chop saw, table to make a jig for the frame......

[arsenic]

True, however, if you did have that stuff, they won't be asking how hard it is to do on Katriders.com. There are a few reason why. 1) If they had the tools to do it, they'd have it done. 2) No one that has tools and the ability to do that kind of thing is dicking around with a Katana. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. I don't have those tools, but I know people who do. I also have the ability to do that kind of thing. Do you ever see me asking any of you dumbfucks how to do this shit?

[92xjunker]

Agreed...

[Million$]

I may be trying this soon...
