i am seriously thinking about putting a srx 700 engine in my 2000 sxr 600 sled....what is involved in doing this...
thx in advance :yam:
 
We're thinkin' about doing the same thing. We know that the bulkhead needs changed along with the hood and maybe the bellypan. Anyone else try this?
 
the bulkhead needs changing?!
are u sure about this....i know that you need to change the hood and belly pans
just wonedring how much $ do used bulkheads run for....
 
A used bulkhead for a SRX will probably run you about $200 at the very most. Most that I've seen are going between $75-$150. I've even seen a few for $50. Pretty cheap considering a new SRX bulkhead is $790 from my dealer. Don't ask how I know....lol.
 
Don't think you have to change bulkhead. Because i bought 97 sx to part out and when i got it all apart marks onbulkhead said it was from 98 srx. called guy i bought it from said he had to replace it a couple years back.
just my 2 cents.
 
why would you want to do that anyways? i mean your changing the looks, so its not a sleeper, if you want the power just buy an srx, if you want the suspension just swap out the srx's for something else. or is there something i'm missing?

Click to expand...

that's what i was wondering. SRX pipes won't fit under a stock sx hood or in the belly pan, need the srx stuff. Why not get an srx?
 
im trying to make a sleeper....and finding a used srx engine is the cheapest way to go......well is it?

i could allways get a big bore kit.but thats going to be way more expensive than a used srx engine....
 
Another thought: find a 700 non-PV and pipe it, not quite an SRX but close and you will still have a sleeper. Might even be able to pipe your 600, I'm sure someone can give you performance info on this.

A piped 700 really wakes up.
 
save up to get the big bore kit and pipes... sell your stock cylinders and pistons later its pointless to try and put an srx motor in your chassis. more headache than its worth
 
Im with taped throttle, on this one. Find a 700sx motor and pipes to drop in there it would still be a hell of a sleeper with 600 stickers...
 
you won't have a sleeper is what i'm sayin. forget the headache, if your tryin to make a sleeper and it looks like the sled your tryin to cover up then its pointless. maybe an average joe may not know its a srx hood and pans, but 90% of the sled population will know so it wouldn't be a sleeper.
 
by definition, a sleeper appears stock from the outside (from looking at sled, and even looking at the engine) but internally its been modified. So a big bore would be your best bet for a true "sleeper". If you add pipes to stock, or the big bore, and never open the hood you could get by, but you can tell when a triple is piped. Or, if your never gonna open the hood and want something here is something else. its a price 950 with NPP pipes. i don't know much about em, but i hear it takes quite a bit to wake up a price motor for the volume they have, and money.

Cant you put sx700 cylinders on a sx600r?? I would guess that you could. There both non-power valves. You are basically slightly big boring it to a 700.

Another option take your cylinders in and have a machine shop sleeve them for a sx700 cylinder...buy pistons and rejet. I might be wrong but seams about the same. (most shops will charge $110 to sleeve, plus $80 per piston = under or right at $400 with gaskets!)

As for the srx bulkhead to a sxr. If its a tripple they are the same...are they not. But once you get a power valve motor you need the electrical and carbs to go with it also...right? This is my useless knowledge...take it or leave it.
 
carbs are the same between the two except for the addition of the throttle position sensor. The electrical is different because the cdi takes more inputs and there is the powervalve control.
