ANOTHER DUMB QUESTION

<< < (2/4) > >>

BigGreenMachine:
Any way to convert the old 88 and previous power valve cylinders to the new design? Would say a 90 topend fit the 88 and previous with some or no work?

hangtime:
I don't think you could put the newer style power valves in the old cylinder head. But I think you can bolt the newer cylinder to the old bottom end.

monster malibu:
Thanks for the help guys. I need to get the repair manual from the previous owner of my bike.

Can anyone confirm?

hughes:
I'm using a newer cylinder gasket on my 87. If the gasket is cut the same than I can't see why the 89-04 cylinder would bolt on to the 87 bottom end. Very little changes to the bottom end of these engines.
