Anyone know the dimensions of a GS500 engine?

thinking it could be a possible transplant victim into the XS if it is small enough.

Don't think so - the GS450/500's have a pretty long bottom end (crank to gearbox wise).

And they are as heavy as fuck - my 450 engine is still sitting on the floor of the shed because I haven't worked out a way to get it up on the bench by myself as yet [:0] :D

CR 500 is the obvious answer to the question you didn't ask

Or maybe an XR650? Here's one in an XT500 frame

hmmm... XR sounds like an interesting idea... that could work. Anyone know the dimensions of one of those suckers?

Probably a bit tall for the XS frame??

CR 500 will fit anything designed for someone older than 8
