I'm just swapping the same type of motor. how easy is it? is it just a matter of swapping the motors out or is there some timing/calibration involved? who has done this and what was the out come? and what 'secrets' do I need to know.

thanks

Swapping motors is pretty easy with two people. And the 2nd person really is only there to help allign the motor mounts when installing the new powerplant.

Remove the wire harness, airbox/FI stuff, radiator, drop motor. Repeat in reverse. Your done.

hardest part on the f4i is getting the motor lined up with the swingarm and motor mount since the bolt goes through the frame, swingarm and motor. the tolerances are tight and have to pretty much have it lined up perfectly for it to slide in. use a floor jack to lift the motor. and have a second person to help manuver the motor. the rest is a cakewalk.

That or lie it on its side to do it, and put the wheel on after the swing arm is mounted.
