Another rf 600 motor???

 

ha, thanx

whats the best place for used motors?

 

rf900 would fit. i think? with work MAYBE the 96-99 600/750's.. dont quote me on that, those had the downdraft carbs like yours.

 

does the rf600 engine have any front engine mounts on the case? If i remember the rf900 attached to frame via head/block I think. No front engine mounts.
if your skilled at rebuilding I believe now a 750 engine with your 600 head would fit. ( even a 600 engine ). Pop over onto ronayers, look at microfiche for both the rf600, and a gsxr 600 engine. see if mounting points have places in common.
I'd check but I have my own issues lol

 

I believe the rf900 and the water cooled gsxr 6/7/11's ALL share the same casework. This should mean that it will bolt up IF the rf600s are the same mountings as the rf900's.

 

Yes it should fit On my Rf900 engine there are mounts in the front just like on the oil cooled engines but the mounts aren't used since the RF doesn't have a cradle.
I've looked at it for a while since I'm going to use my RF900 engine in my bandit frame.

 

if thats the case then shold fit the watercooled.. after all it is a watercooled bored out 750 or restricted 1100 dependin on how one wants to look at it.

 

Ahhh Yes...That makes sense!

 

The side draft heads of the gsxrs might foul the frame spars designed for downdrafts of the rf's?

 

Just out of curiosity,are they still using side draft heads on the newer gsxr's?
I thought downdraft was a better design?or should I say newer
I read somewhere that it was easier to gain more power with an angled intake?

 

yea they are downdraft.. and suppose it is better design, more of a straight shot. cooler air, and allows better ram air type.
As far as the rf engine into gixxer frame, yea the downdraft head would be an issue, but using a 1100/750 head would be fine and in some cases beneficial.

 

Raven...So you are saying the 7/11's SIDE draft head won't foul the RF's frame spars?

 

im getting confused on the topic.. lol... a gixxer engine with rfhead in rf frame.. will work.
a rf motor in a gixxer frame with gsxr head/carbs will work.

 

correct. in other words, he can also find a 92-93 gsxr600 moto and use his head and carbs.

 

Well thanks for the input...i'll be scanning craigslist/ebay for a used motor

 

why not rebuild your motor? just rebuilt mine. actually today i'll be firing it up. '94 rf 600 r. simple engine, lots of satisfaction due to the diy factor. lots of money spent on tools but hey, passion costs! greetings from romania!

p.s. if you've never rebuilt an engine, get the manual and look at least three times before undoing something. it will pay off.

 

welcome Stresslp.

 

Thank you!
