Ask a tuner what engine is better --> Gen 1 or Gen 2. I think most tuners say that the gen 1 engine is more easy to tune. I have read some where that the second gen crank is weaker butt i don't know where i did read it.Any hints? What to watch for? Any modifications required? I can think of one - attaching G2 tank to frame and powering fuel pump. Guess I'll have to use G2 electronics throughout also.
I'm doing this more for cosmetic reasons since I like the look of the G1 frame - I'm thinking that the G2 motor/injection is better than G1 although frame geometry is a step back. This will be a naked racer- bikini fairing and portuguese belly pan.
Thanks

Just use the first gen wheels, they are almost the same.Thanks for the response. I'm going to use G2 motor, Fi and electronics, forks and wheels on the G1 frame.
My understanding is that the G2 motor are a little weaker (particularly the 03 crank), but make more power and can be tuned up easier due to the Fi system. The G2 frame is definately superior but not as nice looking which is why I'm doing this. I currently race a pretty modified 05 SV (suspension, slipper clutch, PClll, brembo master, EBC rotors/pads) except for the engine.

The secondary throttle body butterflies or the servo motor??well the motor is in. The secondary throttle body butterflies motor enterfeers with the frame. Wondering how important those sec. butterflies are....
