I've just bought a 1989 900ss that is a bit of a basket case and I'd like to save it as best I can. It has all the plastic and the frame is good and although it has the crankcase, barrels and heads, the engine itself is empty.
The previous owner decided to strip it down 10 or so years ago and "misplaced" everything - allegedly his brother also had one and they were trying to save his motor.
I'd rather not just replace the engine with a later model supersport or monster but I've been told the crankshaft on the 89-90 models is different to the later 900 engines, is this correct?
Due to the stator I believe???
From my research everything else is the same, no?
Here's a pic of the bike as it currently is, hopefully I will be able to bring it back to its previous glory.
