Engine replacement
04/02/09 at 03:18:59

I snapped a valve yesterday and done all sorts of damage so now looking for a replacement engine and wondering if there are any other options than just the savage engine? is there anything else out there that will bolt right in.
My problem is i stay in Cyprus and spares/salvage parts are quite rare so the more options i have the more chance i can find something.
My log book says my savage is a 1992 but i suspect this was when it was imported and its just a 4 speed.
Does a 5 speed fit?
Any help appreciated thanks.

Get the CDI module with the engine. new head, cylinder and piston will be close to $1000. A used engine can be had for $400 to 600, of course that's over here. Good luck.

Hi
There should be 2 dates on your Log book, The date the bike
was registered in Cyprus and the year of manufacture.
Unfortunately you are right with your assumption on spare parts,
there are none except for main dealer.
Best Suggestion is to try from UK or Germany as shipping costs from
the US are very high for an engine.
Also if you get a 5 speed, make sure you get the Ignition module with the engine as they are different.

Regards
Carl
