Hi all, I’m preparing an engine to swap with the oil drinker mounted on the bike. Before make a big effort for nothing, anyone knows from which engine number the engine mounting bolts change their position?
It would be a pity to prepare the engine and notice a different mounting positions when all it’s done
my bike is a VF1000FE 1984. see the attachment:
many thanks
I forgot to say that the engine I’m about to overhaul is from the same bike (same colors too), but probably different year (no documents for the spares supplier bike)
Hi Mako,the only difference in mounting points between the models was the addition of a mounting point either side of the front cylinder head.
They are in line with the fins on the lower part of the head.
Otherwise you have a straight swap.
