Does anyone know the weight or where i can find out the weight for the gt250r engine? Im buying one and need to know the weight for the courier.
If you have to pull your engine out anyway, weigh your engine. Or the person you're buying from might be able to put it on a set of scales. I'd offer, but my engine is headless and not sire which bits are missing, like the starter, covers, etc. I had a feeling they were heavy, about 40kg. Otherwise, try eBay wrecker listing, they may have already weighed it for freight. P.S. Beware of cam-chains, they can jump, maybe a tensioners fault, especially pre-07.
Yeah i was guessing around that weight. I'm not removing my engine from my bike yet, I'm just buying the engine because it's only $50 and it has 1500kms on the clock. But I figure even if it has 15000kms it could be good to do a full rebuild and lift it in when its rebuilt. I am aware of the cam chain jumping and have an idea of how to make a simple follower to prevent it from happening. I'll post pics if it looks viable on the engine. Thank you.
I have a similar sized V Twin engine here from a mid 90's Yamaha VX250 Virago 250 and it weigh's 36kg Those Hyosung engine's are based on a Suzuki 250cc V Twin aren't they ?
