Kawasaki Motorcycle Forums - View Single Post - Engine swap of a ’94 ZX-9

JBergland · 07-24-2006

I was told by a tech. from a local shop that a ‘98-’01 engine should bolt right into a ’94-’97 frame. Wiring harness(es) (along with other items) will likely not be compatible, but as far as having to fab. engine mounts, this should not be needed.

Can anyone confirm this?? This info seems contradictory to other review info I’ve gotten regarding the ’98-’01 ZX-9… ‘new design’ and the engine is part of a ‘stress member of the frame’. This could also be marketing/PR stuff.

Thanks!!
