Installing an engine into your motorcycle can be dierent for every
motorcycle. It depends on what brands you’ve purchase and what parts
you require cause some people will need new carburetor, electrical,
sprockets and cables. Some people are also doing straight replacement and
won’t need anything else but the engine.
e most important thing before you can install your new engine is to
make sure that your engine end frame has the universal crf50 engine
mounts. Sometimes both frame and engine has a universal crf50 engine
mounts but the frame can be slightly dierent to the engine mold and may
require some slight modications to get the engine t the frame perfectly.
Because every engine is dierent, we cannot give an exact guide on how to
install but we can just give you some recommendations. Before you install
your new engine, check you have the correct wiring, carburetion, cables
and sprocket otherwise your installation will not go smoothly but you can
install the engine and order this parts later on.
Remember to threadlock glue both engine mounts, footpeg mounts and
torque to the settings. (page 121)
When installing the carburetor make sure the right gasket is used at the
carburetor and the air lter is oiled.
