thanks kyle.

have someone weld on a 'weld washer' over it and drill it to the right size. That's pretty much your only option unless you feel like drilling out your engine mount!

Dude I would raise all kinds of hell if my engine was lost in the mail especially if it was an 06.

I have an 01 engine in an 06 frame so I know exactly what your talking about.

Get yourself a pin punch and knock out the bushes on either side of the engine where the swingarm pivot bolt should go through but at the moment does'nt. You can do this with the motor in place is you go through the frame holes. They are seperate parts, check them on a parts list.

Then you have two options, replace them with 05+ parts or simply have them machined out to fit your swingarm bolt.

I did the later.

You will also need an 01 kickstart lever.

Good luck.

Not correct, don't do this. Do the job properly as mentioned above.

Yes everything else will fit no problem.

You should have the person who sent it off buy you a new 06 motor in the same condition, at least you know it would bolt on with no fabrications needed. If it were me, I would be asking for a whole new bike!

[mad_max_crf]

whats the 01 engine run like ? much differnce from the 06.

thanks for the replys kyle.

[mad_max_crf]

does anybody no where i can buy a kickstart from?

[Coadster68]

Ebay would probably be you're best bet.

Ebay.

Any kickstart lever from 1988 to 2001 will fit, as they all use the same 3SP "boss".

The lever arm itself changed shape in 1999, and everything changed in 2002, but you still have a pretty big spread of years to choose from.

And props to BRM for the engine swap solution! ?

CaptDan, thank you, man

[RCannon]

BRM, why in the Christ did they have to change the kickstart lever? I hate changes like that.

From the sounds of things the old lever was better. Imagine if the 1.50 in r and d work for the lever were sent in another direction????

[mad_max_crf]

BRM i did as u advised and orderd new collers, i tried to fit them today but they are to big for the hole in the casing :0 do you think i should just machine out the old collers ?

thanks kyle.

I didn't know they where bigger. That is probably the reason for the different part number from 01-02 engine cases.

Either way I guess, machine down the outer on the new ones or bore the inner on the old ones.

I bored the old ones and haven't had a problem in the last 70 hours of riding.

It is only about 1mm difference.

There is a great mod for the 01 and earlier engines too by the way, makes them much easier to start.

Replace the "Ratchet Wheel Guide" with Part -2NX-15647-00-00, replaces214-15674-00-00. They are about $7.22

This effectively increases your kick start turn over to 2 full revolutions from TDC.

How did you ever make out and where is the rachet wheel

[cryzrider]

I did the swap and machined some washers to take up the slack. The ignition black box is another issue to deal with as far as mounting it as it's larger than the 06. I have a fresh motor with correct bushings about to go in with a Max Power 285 top end.

Ok but what did you do about the bushings in the back of the engine. I wish I could just take them out and put the right ones in. I put one in before and that was easy I just froze it and it went right in but taken them out is a different story. What do you mean you used washers. Now does the 06 electronics work with the. 01 engine. Can I use the 06 cdi with the 01 engine. Isn't the. 00-01 engines the same as the 06 engine just the bushings and porting are different.
