    Swapping an RC200 engine with a 390 - Possible ?

    Hey guys, I own RC200. I was wondering if the above mentioned is possible. almost all of the parts are common between RC200 and RC390. except engine ofcourse, ABS unit, ECU, Air box may be, and braking system. so can it work ? if we ignore the legal issues related to engine number etc.

    GBD Approved

    It will be an interesting academic discussion.

    But from a practical/ implementation POV, it will be quite the headache and cost a lot as well. That's assuming you manage to procure a 390 engine.

      Take a measuring tape and check all the engine mount measurements of an RC 390 with your motorcycle. I believe it is possible but needs some mods.

        OR simply ask your local mechanic who services your bike.. I'm sure he would know the exact details

        just my 2 paisa..

        I think it should fit the chassi with no mods since the frame is same for both the 200 & the 390 (I've heard so)
        live long.. live happy.. that's the best revenge that can be served to the people who hate you..

          It definitely should work if you have the time, know-how and the 💰.

          Or else buying a 390 would make more sense
