Will a G S 500 Bolt up?

[RamAir]

With little to no mods to the GZ250 Frame???
You all may remeber me :??: . Well yes the new motor blew as well :skull: Only after 557.5km. I think a partical cloged an oil vain going to the top of the motor cuz the cam bearings spun!!!

So now I am looking again and why not see if I can get something better out of it. So this is what I was thinking. Here is a link.

Any one got any ideas, have this kinda bike, or even tried this before?

That's a nice picture but just exactly what is it that you are asking.
Will what bolt up to what ??

How about this: You sell what's left of your old bike for parts and save up a little more to go with that and buy yourself a whole bike that actually runs ?? :roll:

What a radical idea !! :poke2:

I love my bike and again 600 bones for a new gz250 motor is better the 3 or 4 Gs plus insurance for the year. Cuz I am broke! Will that motor pretty much bolt up to the GZ's frame?

First, are you saying you can get a complete GS500 engine for 600 dollars, and no one on here is going to know if that engine will bolt up without modification, but I can venture a good guess, HELL NO.

But....... your best bet, if you just really insist on doing this is to find a Suzuki DR350 engine, it is about the closest your going to get to a perfect fitting replacement engine, now don't come back saying, Music Man said it would fit and it doesn't, I am not in any way saying that it will bolt up, just saying that that would be the best engine to try out.

And let us know how it goes when you get done.

I like this idea better. Theres no guarantee you could get anything in there without mods cept a gz250 engine. You run the risk of paying for a new engine and change things to try and get it set up and not be able to then your stuck with an expensive mistake you cant do anything with. And i dont know about insurance up there but here its not bad for the GZ. $36.42 every six months.

Good used GZ's can be had for as little as $1000; maybe less if you get lucky.

And NO, the GS 500 engine will not "bolt up".......unless you are starting with a GS 500 frame.

PS....Regardless of what you get next, it won't last long if you ride it at WOT all the time and do not keep oil in it !! Good luck. :biggrin:
