Hi all,
Its been a while since I got something really done on my bike (classic CBZ).
Its was my longterm desire to upgrade my bike's engine to tap the potential it has but then didn't find right time & opportunities to do what I wanted. I was going through a thread where a fellow member wanted to swap CBZ engine with ZMA's. I found that apt & right choice without any hassles of engine re-work.
To my luck I got hold of a 2009 model ZMA which has clocked 50k till date.
I guess this will be the right time to act on my desires. Engine swap.
Yes, ZMA engine on CBZ. I learnt that the mount points are the same as its the same chassis.
Now, I need yourhelp to have this done cleanly.
If I were to swap this mill what all do I need?
What about chain, sprockets?? Will the stock CBZ's handle the torque or the heavier ZMA's is needed?
What about the swing arm? CBZ has a smaller one than ZMA.
What about front suspension? Is it fine to go with CBZ's or does that differ?
Muffler? Can the stock CBZ muffler handle the flow & provide enough back pressure or this has to be changed?
Also I understand this is illegal as the engine crank serial differs, what should be done to fix that?
I need your help to get this done.
Argee, Satyen & other geeks shed some light on this.
Thanks.
