Anyone know of a good mechanic to help me swap the engine in my R1. Let me know.

Why are you swapping your engine out? If I had some free time i would help you out but I am extremely limited on time theses days. If your just swaping long blocks or complete engines and Trans it isn't as hard you might think it is. If time is not an issue then I can help you out but it would probley have to be done at my house. Drop me an PM if you need may help and I will give oyu my Phone #.
If your looking to have it done relativly quick maybe Ryan can help you out. Call Wheels USA and ask for Ryan then explain to him what you want. He will do it on the side and not through Wheels.

What's wrong with the motor you are gettin rid of? I happen to know of someone who needs an R1 motor, and may be able to help you out in exchange for your old motor.


Let me know.

daang-he still dont have a motor!?? n I thought I was bad putting off new tires till the last second

 

Yeah the bike runs fine with about 26,000 miles but second gear is going out and to switch out second gear you have to split the casings and that is a big job. Also if you split the casings you might as well put new rings to and everyone I asked wanted $400 plus to do it. So what I did was bought a new engine with 6,500 miles to swap it out with. Hey Bigjeff I will drop you a PM to see if you can help.

Thanks guys
Matt

LOL I think I'm going to keep my old motor just incase I have to swap out the one I'm putting in. I'm going to possibly think about changing it in a week or two just not time at the moment.

Thanks guys
Matt
