    Hahaha just busting your balls. Nah fuck that that would be probably more costly and time effective to just get another. Parts would be a lot

    Yep. Found it on the good old forums, says it’s too big and too different. Even if I tried I would have a tube frame at the end of it trying to make it fit. Lol

    08 motor is stronger than cross plane anyways.

    Why , the 4c8 motor is better…

    The power band and outright power is in no way better. It’s not even a possible point to argue. Plain and simple if it was better then Yamaha wouldn’t have wasted the RnD for the cross plane and they are as hell wouldn’t cripple their racers with it in MotoGP or WSBK

    Beside the mount fab no electrical clips will be mated. To the engine…doable but a time consuming pain in the ass. Just replace the 4c8 boss.

    09+ motor is wider

    That’s about like putting Rossie ODonnel in a Smart Car……
