[QUOTE="JamesK, post: 1208105, member: 1858"] Thanks again for your input rPGoatBoy, I would love to do the engine retrofit myself and if this work was on my Djebel 250 (DRZ250) where the engine is easy to swap and comparatively cheap to source out I probably would. I've done things like Stator, Starter Motor, Valve Check, CCT, clutch, but splitting cases and messing with the gearbox without supervision from an experienced person looking over my shoulder is just too big of a risk IMHO. I'm saving money where I can by doing the engine swap myself, etc. In the case of the FJR, the total shipping from the US is about as much as the price of the engine itself, plus the major PITA of getting it in and out of the bike, not to mention the time off the road for my main bike. My FJR has been off-line now since late Oct 2014, I simply don't want to risk one tiny screw up destroying my new engine. [/QUOTE]
