i have been thinking that it would be awesome to have a 1000 instad of my 650. but i have a ton of mods on my 650 that i dont want to loose and rebuy. so, is there any way to take out the 650 engine and put in the 1000? it is an 05 S model by the way.

just something i have been pondering about lately

Will Not Fit.

Sell the 650 bike as a whole, and buy a 1000. Or stick with 650.

Most mods should transfer over

wasn't that just a bodywork swap?

not according to the first post of the thread. I remember him trying it but didn't remember the final outcome, which he ultimately scrapped. I remember someone doing it but it was so much work it wasn't really worth it.

+1 It took to much work to swap the engine and after all the trouble he mounted the first gen body work on a sv1000.

I have seen a first gen with a tl engine. I believe he has hacked the frame to fit the engine.

oh well, it has just been racking my brain lately. ill stick with my 650 for now then get a 1000 lader on.
