Hi, I have a project going where I want to install a Suzuki GT250 X7 engine in a single cylinder dirt bike frame. Before I buy an X7 engine (relatively rare where I am) I have to check how much the frame needs to be modded. Would it be possible to get a couple of dimensions? Dimension A - Width of front engine mounts Dimension B - Width of rear engine mounts Dimension C - Width between exhaust / muffler down pipes I have to work out where the main frame mods need to happen. Thanks very much for your help. Ian B. :occasion14:
Hey Ian Phils X7 has the engine in the frame and its hard to measure, here's some rough measurements Dimension A - 5.5cm Dimension B - 14cm ( Approx) There is a spacer betwen the side of the engine and the frame, this measurement does not include the spacer Dimension C - 10cm (Approx) Does anyone have an X7 engine out of the frame to get some more accurate measurements ? edit - I sent Fuzzball and Crspy a PM as I think they both have their engines out and would be easier for them to measure
Will try to get a look tomorrow, though it seams I have been hit with the first big bug of the year (in spring) so no promises.
Hi All, Thanks very much for your help. My frame has 2 down tubes, so the twin exhaust is probably not going to clear the frame. If anyone has the outside measurements from L exhaust to R exhaust that would also be great. As mentioned, I am looking to convert a single into a twin. Thanks, Ian B.
