putting a dirtike motor in a 06 yfz

[pimpinyfz450]

just wondering if anybody has done it ?what mods have to be made to my quad and any other helpful info on this ....i would really like to find a kit or somthing to do it so its not all rigged up ...

I'm told the space between the swingarm bearings is different than the bikes. You have to do something custom to make either of the bike engines fit the ATV.

The WR engine will have wide ratio gearing compared to the ATV. 1st gear will be the same and 5th will be very tall.

The 4-speed YZ engine has the same gears as the YFZ, but without 1st. I believe the YZ engine got a taller primary reduction gearing at some point and the cases got larger in 2006 when they included an oil reservior in the engine.

That is a complete waste of a perfectly good motor

DONT DO IT LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS

[pimpinyfz450]

why do you say leave it ??????]i wanna know like the pros/cons of doing sumtin like this and if anybody has done it ......and how much more power will i have .....

[pimpinyfz450]

my motor is for sale if anybody needs one.............very clean very low hours ....took my motor off after WEEK OR TWO ......

[ilpadrino113]

The motor is a great motor. why would you want to ditch it in a newer machine?? If you wanna do a hibryd project go with something older or find one with a blown motor, it's more economical. and u will still have something to ride while yer piecing your bike together

ok me and my freind built a hybrid 400ex frame and we got a 440 yfz dirt bike motor, from travis spaders wrench turner or so he said he was, putting it together was easy we had a guy that just built frames like that, we had it together in one day it did not run till a mounth later or get it running well a nuff to race for a least a month, but if that is what you want to do then how mutch is your motor.

2 lower motor mounts might not line up so cut them and make new mounts. Head stay mount needs to be made if ou want that mount but not needed. Front motor mounts probably need to be made. Kick start extention needs to be made. Frame rail by carb may need to be bridged. Thats it.

i had a welder guy do that for me and all that only costed me $270 and only took 7 hours to do.

Is this engine stock? I could see getting a little over a 1k maybe 1,500k but not 3k:eek2:

[pnut420]

Wow with a 06 motor you could do alot. Id just send that in to Dasa for a port job, get a dyna ignition, 13.5:1 piston, etc...

[pimpinyfz450]

price lowerd 2500$ for a complete 06 yfz motor ......

[pimpinyfz450]

oh yeah dont post if you aint got nottin good to say andby the way idont know if you have checked lately but the only motor your gonna get for under 2000 is a 04 05 motor .....my motor will smoke a built 04 05 motor all day ....trust me i got a 05 tc national motor on my brothers quad and the 06 motor smokes his all day from the gate to the line ....the only reason i am selling this motor is cause i have a built 06 motor already ........so every one just stop posting crap talk .......

heres a 05 i did with a 04 yz motor, i had a custom swingarm made with the pivot mount moved 3/4" to the chain side and fabbed new front mounts. redrilled the upper mount over and cut and moved the bottom mount. and lost a ton of weight and gained the nice yz spec ignition. i did have to use a kickstarter extention. but once all done it felt alot stronger than a yfz motor and much simpler harness to.

i got a buddy that put the dirt bike motor in the quad
he made different mounts and grinded the swinger a bit alot where the chain rides.
here a pic of my $1000 project i pick up last week.
hopfully we can work out somthing on the 06 engine that you have for sale:D

[200xer]

[pimpinyfz450]

nobody makes a mounting kit to do this or what ? or some one who has done it make me mounts or sell me mounts ,i really want to do it but i want it to b done good i dont wanna rig it up ....

[200xer]

lol
i talk with my buddy today
***he said he used the 4 wheeler mounts.
*** bushings where the swinger bolt goes through the back of the engine, he took them out.
***he put a washer behind the front sprocket.

all equals up to 1 fast death trape.
