any 04 fz6n motors around?

[gulfpete]

Hi, I just bought a 04 fz6n fairly cheap as it has a knock in the motor. Pulled it apart and found the crankshaft has a slight wobble in it, a small crack in the casing near the clutch too. Figure the cheapest and easiest way to get it on the road is another motor, I don't know what year models have the same motors but if someone is wrecking one I'd be keen.

That's a first! Good luck in your search...

Ok, I've been googling what motors will fit. Wikipedia says there was a revision in 06 and the crankcase part numbers are the same 04 and 05 but 06 is different. I can get this for $900 -

Does anyone know if a 06 motor will fit a 04? Will I have to change the ECU?
Any advice is apreciated.

Yes they are similar. 2007 and 2008 year engines have oxygen sensor in the manifold.

Thanks Fazil, does similar mean not a drop in replacement? What else would need changing?

its a bolt in Pete, shouldn't be any issues....

I wish their site would let you zoom in on the engine mounts.
You may want to ask to make sure all threaded engine mounts are good..

Thanks Scott. I bought the motor just before I saw your reply. I can see how the mounts could get stripped as the frame moved about 1/8" when I undid the one on the head. I'll check it when it arrives.

Probably ok. As long as a major part of the block isn't CRACKED, you should be good.

Any stripped threads, before the engine is installed, a helicoil would fix it better than new..

You wonder why the bike was parted out, probably wrecked, hopefully no damage transferred to the engine mounts.
The rest of the engine looked very clean!!

Also, while the new engine is out, you may want to check the valve lash (perfect time). There's numerous threads here about it.

PM sent as well.

Plz post back once installed...

Engine is in and working well now, I started another thread on it, thought it might help others.
