 Hi,

I have an 01 R6 with nackered engine,

I can just do a swap for a 99, 00, 01, 02 right?

As they are the same, it was not until 03 the injection replaced carb'd?

Has anyone done this, is it pretty simple or a pig of a job?

Ta

Matt

it really depends on your mechanical skills and experience.

Its not at the top of the hard to do list but you will need a half decent tool kit including a torque wrench

There are a couple of adjustable frame inserts that the mountintg bolts go through that need a special tool but this can be made.

 I helped a mate remove a 99 R6 motor once coz it had a faulty gearbox... If i remember correctly the engine was extremely tight in the frame.. This was by far the hardest part of the operation... (Takin out & puttin back in)
The mate i helped is a crane fitter/ club racer with ALL the tools and loads of mechanical knowledge..
Hope this helps..

It's a shame that even in biking, that there is punk ass bitches that are willing to rip fellow bikers off.
