    ZX7 - 9 Engine swap

    Have a '91 ZXR750 and engine may be a little tired.

    Wondering what model ZX9 engines will fit without too many mods.

    I would love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. Make my living out of it.

    I bought the bike off Jason and didn't know much about it, but rode it cold turkey to P.I. and back, man it kicked my guts all the way but that's being sorted as we speak but Engine may be a little sad so just keeping the feelers out for an engine swap.

    Handled like a dream but haven't had a small bore 750 for a number of years and forgot how much you need to rev 'em!

    Yep helps to keep the revs under them, 9 will give it some more pull or you can throw a turbo at it really brings them to life.

    Wow that's a rough way of doing it. There used to be offset mount kits available for the zx7/9 conversions... NFI if they still exist
