So I blew the motor on my 02 svs and I ordered a replacement motor for it. The motor I order is an 03 sv motor. The guy at the parts place I ordered it from said it would be a plug and go motor. However after reading some of the posts I'm not sure.

Any mechanics or people who have actually done this swap... Please help me out!

Well, the '03+ motor is fuel injected, the 99-02 is carb'd. The motor itself is very similar except the boots for the intake will be different and the '03+ has an oil cooler and a PAIR system. There are other differences such as the cams, but it should bolt in. I do not know if the elctronics such as Gear sensor are the same.

well the bike is in a shop right now and the motor is being shipped there. i'm just worried that the motor won't fit.

like i said though the owner of the parts yard i ordered the motor from said it would fit perfectly and it was a plug and go motor so i hope it'll work

It's not a direct swap ! and not plug and play :'(

The motor will fit. You only need to swap some parts like the rotor, stator valve, covers, and some smal stuff. Use the search function and you will find more info
