Starting the hunt
After reading a few threads, it seems like what i want is a 1990+ motor, correct?
it seems like the 89 is very similar, except the clutch is more narrow. Has that been a major issue?
I ask because an 89 popped up locally that i may be able to get for a decent price, BUT if the narrow clutch can be problematic, I will definitely keep looking.
I am definitely wanting maximum parts interchangeability, which seems to come from the 90-01 motors. I dont want to have an issue in 5 years finding parts for an older, less produced motor. If I go through the trouble to build one of these monsters, I dont want to shoot myself in the foot.

Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

Not according to these pics, provided by Roosty. The 89 seems to have a one-year only case, and a narrower clutch. I was mainly curious about the narrow clutch being a problem. But now that you mention the tranny, I will probably focus on finding a 94+ bike. I forgot about the trans differences.freeride588 wrote:I think that 89 - 01 are the same except for the tranny 89 - 93 are close ratio trans and 94 - 01 are wider ratio.
