I haven't. Thanks for the link, I've sent them an email.

There's a 2016 getting broken on Gumtree.

400 miles. Not a cheap listing but a private sale so some haggle potential there for a nearly new engine.

Thanks but I'll need to replace all the electrics as well. Anything after 2012 has power modes and other stuff mine doesn't.

Yorkshire Engines might be getting a 2010 bike with 4,000 miles on it for breaking. I'm first in the queue for the engine.

This one any good Kwacky,: http://www.copart.co.uk/uk/Lot/37419195 ... =298421315" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yep, that's the right model, ta.

If you want me to bid for it for you, just let me know.

Chester is down the road from me. Give me a sbout if you need anything checking or photos etc.

You're both top gents

I've been offered one of Rutter's spare engines.

2 laps of the TT done it.

It's effectively new. Full rebuild to WSS spec.

£4,000.

Crap. I'm so tempted but I really can't afford it. Plus I doubt it's a straight swap for mine. It'll be one of the newer 599cc engines.

I wouldn't bother tbh. As good as it sounds it's a 140bhp highly tuned wss 599cc engine that would need a much more frequent and involved maintenence schedule.

For £4000 you could buy a very nice 160 bhp Superbike and not just a highly strung engine.

Go stock would be my choice or if you have 4k consider parting out your bike and buy something better.

I don't have £4k so it wasn't going to happen.

It's not just the engine. The exhaust and downpipes would have to be changed, the ECU flashed, the filter changed. That's if the current ECU would talk to the newer engine, which I doubt.

Then I would need to tell the insurance company.

It was never going to happen.

Lovely idea though

A road legal WSS bike? It would be a thing of beauty

But man it would be fast

And awesome

We are not helping much are we?

And reliable, just so long as you only want to cover about a dozen or so laps of the IOM..

Shit just seen this. Gutted for you pal. What's the latest?

I'm still hunting for an engine. I've got a few breakers on the look out for me.
