Ok, so i've seized my motor somehow. i'm pretty sure it's a spun rod bearing cause there was copper shavings on the oil drain plug when i pulled it. :'( anyways, i have some options here:
1. tear engine apart and replace bearings if crank and rods are still good.
2. buy a known good crank and rods and swap that into my engine.
3. complete engine swap which is easier, yet a lot more expensive.
NOW, my questions regarding option #3....
1. will ANY SV650 engine fit, as in will a 2 gen fit a 1 gen frame?
2. will a SV1000 engine fit my 650 frame?
3. will ANY SV1000 engine fit IF an SV1000 can fit into a 650 frame?
and finally a question regarding option #2....
is ANOTHER SV650 crank and rods my only option? on Ebay, i've seen people advertise cranks as SV650 / V-strom!? what other bikes can i steal from for crank / rods?
Thanks for any help. This IS my only source of transportation so i am eager to get it back on the road asap!
