My friend has a 2001 venture 500 that blew up last year. He's wondering if a 600 motor would also bolt in as he found a 600 for sale. Idk what year the motor is, he didn't say in the text, I guess he's wondering what his options are. I know he'd have to do some clutching, carb work (jets etc.), stuff like that if it a 600 motor would work
Let me know what his options are, if any...

Thanks

EDIT---Motor is out of an 1998 XTC 600 if that helps. It comes with the carbs and wiring he told me as well.

Yes it will. If it's a 600 twin, then the 2 motors are practically identical, aside from the displacement. I know there were 600 triple ventures too when the 600 triple replaced the 600 twins. Those would fit to, but there may be a few small change needed. Might need a triple bulkhead or something but it can be done. This is provided that the 500 was a liquid cooled sled..
 
98 xtc was the twin, so if the 500 is liquid,its pretty close to a bolt in from what I understand. yeah some things may need adjustment, clutches, carbs, but yeah, should be a simple swap.

Yamaha even listed my 600 in with the 500 liquid in the microfiche. Iirc, the fancooled venture is a venture xl, and the water cooled one is simply a venture 500. Now, the venture 6pp has smart carbs, but the 600 xtc had normal carbs. So no biggie.
 
Thanks horkn, I told him since the motor comes with carbs, he'd have to do some clutching, but that would about it.
 
Yeah that will be easy. Just have him check what clutch specs are in the 5 vs the 600 like mine.
