I have a 2001 Zr 500 that I would like to put a Zr 800 motor in. I would like to know or get some ideas on this project from other people that have done this and get some pointers. I found an 02 zr 800 that the guy would sell me for $1800 and i could have the whole thing or he said that he would sell me all the stuff to do the swap for $1200. So what would be the best deal? I need to know if im going to need the cluches and the gears and shaft for it and other stuff for the swap. Any ideas will help!

Thanks, mxdirtking

Yeah I did! You're just North of me! I have a complete 800 Carb motor to put into my 98 ZR600! You would be much better off buy the whole sled, and FIXING it! I gave up, but your 01 chassis would be a better canidate for the swap. I would buy a set of D&D 800 pipes for it, and a SLP type air box. The mounts, carbs, ignition, clutches,and cables would be needed off the 800! The only thing you can use off you 500 is the recoil!
