06+ motor in 05 frame

Can u put an 06+ motor in an 05? Just change out the motor mounts or is there a difference in the wiring too?

it will work, you just cant use the upper motor mount and you have to change the wiring harness and cdi

you need the 06+motor mounts and eletric system

I'm about to start building an 04 frame with an 06 motor as a project to be completed sometime next year as a backup/practice quad. I'm going to be taking some measurements and get some general pics and information written down to potentially make a guide for doing it. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Its not difficult and you can use all the motor mounts including the top one. I ran an 07 motor in an 04 frame for 2 years. Obviously the electrical is different but other than that i used the 07 mounts and have to cut my own aluminum spacers
