Got new motor, any tips?
 

OK so while racing in NH I was able to connect with a guy selling an 05 motor.(mine blew recently). I have never done a vtr motor swap but have done other bikes. Anyone done this and have tips?

glad to hear you'll be back on the road soon!

Well I haven't swapped motors but I have had mine out of the frame.

It is pretty easy and straight forward, you just need the special tools to set the proper torque on the hangers. I know some folks have made their own but you would be better off checking to see if someone here has a set they can loan you (if you don't want to buy your own) as the length, of the attachment point of the tool is critical to setting the proper torque.

Nice, guess thats my next thread.
