I've paid a deposit for a 2003 5pw engine complete with wiring loom, clocks and ECU for a decent price and I will be collecting this Tuesday.

What parts might I also need from the bike whilst I'm there? Its a complete bike being broken.

Thanks

Id say buy the gear selector mechanisms complete so you know what links are needed

Ex up servo is worth having I think as advice I was given is that the 'deletes' you can get aren't so reliable.

Suggest just taking as much as you can though as it can be a bit difficult to see just how 'complete' it is!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try and get as much as I can.

You also need the voltage regulator/rectifier, has heat sink fins on it and a couple of fairly large connectors.

Also, a few sensors were missing from mine and they're tiny - air, coolant etc, check those. Also worth going round and fiddling with all the plug connections in the loom if you can as they're easily broken and can be costly/difficult to replace.

Thanks for the tips. Before agreeing to buy it I was sent a video of the bike running so I kniw it's good. Just a question of what he's letting me have with it.

Very useful website that one. Used it a lot

[LukeH]

Yeah I've read through quite a lot of it. I've looked through you project build also and was going to pm you a few questions if you don't mind at some point?

[LukeH]

Well got the engine back home and I think I got a good deal.

Got complete engine with all bolts, complete wiring loom with all sensors, clocks, ECU, rectifier, Airbox, radiator and fan. Engine has done 11k miles and I have seen a video of it running.

I'm not. I'm planning on building my own cradle to mount it in the front similar to Lynx ae kits.

Hi, what diff will you be running/using

Not sure yet. I plan to buy the diff housing kit from westgarage so will see what they recommend.
