Banshee engine in YFZ450 frame?

[J-Madd]

I read BigRed350X's thread about the Banshee engine in the YFZ frame, but it never said if he actually did it. My THIRD YFZ :: engine took a crap on me, so I'm done with the YFZ forever. I don't even race competetively. I'll line up and drag race, ride trails, and I may have been on the rev limiter occasionally, but I never really abused any of the engines. The latest motor, in my sig, just started knocking real loud all of a sudden. I wasn't even riding it hard, just putting back to the truck. I haven't tore it apart yet. I really don't care what's wrong with it; I'm not going to repair it at all :verymad: .

 

Anyway...........anyone have suggestions on how to tackle this project? I can't weld or fabricate anything, but I know people that can.

well it can be done. theres plenty of room in there for the engine thats for sure. its gonna take time and money tho. engine swaps are usually expensive and time consuming if done properly. ive done 2 now and they are a HANDFUL. sprockets must be aligned properly and engine height is critical. if you cant oversee this project yourself from start to finish i really recommend not doin it. its realy best to have a good knowledge of how these things work. and being able to weld and fabricate is really pretty necessary..
