See my thread in Old Bikes Projects and Restorations entitled ER5 engine swap . I've actually still got my old engine sitting in my backyard if it's any use to you . One thing to remember when buying ER5 engines is that they cannot be made to change gear when they are not in a moving bike . Anything you want to know about the ER5 , let me know . Quote
TimR Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Gpz500 engines will fit as well Kle500 also Quote
fastbob Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Gpz500 engines will fit as well Kle500 also The GPZ will fit but you're going to have a hard time fabricating a gear change mechanism . At least I think that's correct but I might be wrong . Edited September 28, 2019 by fastbob Quote

There may be some people around your area that are able to help you out with itI'm near norwich mate had coolant problems with engine for ages system keeps overpresserising n pissing put of expansion tank done all the external work but no joy engine has gotten really hot a couple of times so dont wanna risk chucking loads of money at it engine was running fine other than the coolant problem apart from couple of days ago so either warped head or gasket or crack in the block Quote
