I had a little mishap this morning on the way to work, and now have a hole in the side of my engine. I was just wondering if anyone knew if a 06+ R6 engine would be a direct swap for a 05 R6.

 

Doubt it would be a direct bolt up, but im sure anything could work.

I would check an R6 specific forum.

 

You can use the 06-08 R6-S motor which should be a direct drop in replacement.

And if i remember correctly the 06 R6 was a new bike/motor.

 

kinda curious as to what kind of "mishap" ends up with a hole in the motor.....

 

yeah, the 06 is a new bike/motor, but I found a good deal on a 06 engine and just wanted to see if it would work.

Lots of boost

Chain broke, got bunched up on the front sprocket. Ripped the sprocket cover off along with part of the engine. Now I have a 2 inch hole right above the front sprocket.

 

Damn man. Ive seen chain breaks cause some carnage. Be glad that thing didnt hit you in the back.

 

I got very lucky. my rear tire is completely covered in oil, and I was turning when it happened. someone was definately looking out for me yesterday

 

Had the same thing happen riding my YZ250. However I was able to fix just by buying what I would call the housing for the engine and rebuilding it. Is anything internally jacked up? You could save a ton of money.
