Thanks Guys,

I don't know yet if I'm running SS or not so that may not be an issue anyway but with the 03's propensity for breaking cranks I'm just looking for backup stuff.

Paul - seems that you've got more time than money on your hands - why don't you tear the motor down, magneflux and peform other treatment on the crank and put it back together. 
My plan is simply to lose 20 lb, get into serious shape (motocrossing/mountain biking and basketball), work on reflexes/reaction speed, do a compression test/leakdown on the motor and if everything is OK.  Drop in an aftermarket BMC filter, put in better pads, change brake fluid, switch to iridium, sparks, replace the dead stock battery with a lighte one etc..  Looks like my clutch cover is leaking badly - will go to an aftermarket one.

I take it that you are recovering nicely...

   Paul,  I think that you would be way better off with a motor out of an International Tractor.  Tons of torque.  Or better yet swap it out with a GS500 motor,  then I might be able to pass you.  Later - Johnny

Johnny, Paul:  The bad news (for Paul) is that both Johnny and I will have a year to improve our cornering speed.  The good news is that the 3 of us will compete in 2008 for the championship!!

There are several small differences.  If you are taking a first generation motor and putting it into a 2nd gen bike you need to do the following:

Put the FI motors Gear positioning sensor on the 1st gen motor (you will spit codes if you have the 1st gen GPS on the FI bike, wont work right)  ** the GPS is located next to the stator case cover and has a wire that goes to the wiring harness in the tail section.  Routes along the same routing line as the stator wiring harness connector.

Put the FI  motors generator and stator on the 1st gen motor (the FI stators and generators are completely different, along with the wiring harness hookup that comes out of the stator)

You must block off the pair valve opening on the bottom of the FI motor air box.  Just the opening where the pair valve tube goes into.  A simple vacuum cap will work.  The 1st gen, or some of them dont use the pair valve system.  Pair valve hoses are the hoses that come off the top of the front and rear valve covers and go to the air box.

After this, you are gold.  The motors are the same internally.

Everything else is the same

Thanks Sean,

I'm brand new to the SV so I'm trying to learn as I go and start to put together some spares. Thanks for the info, I'll be printing that and putting it with my notes.

Paul

No problem, let me know if you have anyother questions I might be able to help with
