spiderjames Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 New to this forum. I did a search and didn't come up with an answer. Hopefully someone will know. Will an xs650 motor fit an xs500 frame? I have access to a xs500 with a clear title for $250.00. It needs lots of engine work among other things (wiring). I also have access to a good used 650 motor. Will it bolt to the 500 frame without modifying the frame or is it a major project/unworkable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if it would fit inside the frame, or would bolt into the stock mounts. I know that the frames are slightly different, but have nothing to measure against. I want to know the answer to this question as well. I doubt that it will though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that it will though. the xs650 is a tall engine. hopefully some one with a 650 can measure the height for you? edit: just found the info you've been looking for!! http://www.bratstyle.com/custom/57/57.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 With the motor in frame its a bit hard to measure, but as a rough guide 54 cm high, from bottom mount to top mount 34 cm long, from front mount to rear mount. hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
