EnduroGuzzi Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 More than a thought experiment, I've been offered a Griso motor from a part out. i've seen plenty of these in Tonti frames, but does anyone have any idea as to whether you can put one of these new motors in a spine frame? my v11 is a salvage bike already so I wouldn't be lowering its value at all. Just looking for collective wisdom.
footgoose Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Someone on here has done a 1200 in a spine frame. I can't recall but it'll show up eventually. I will follow with Interest!
LowRyter Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 I wonder if the Griso 12 has more beans than V11 engine?
Scud Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Oh yeah... there's the 2-valve vs. 4-valve per cylinder issue - and the mandatory roller conversion for the early 4-valve heads.
swooshdave Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I wonder if the Griso 12 has more beans than V11 engine? Yes, how many depends on who's counting.
pete roper Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Also consider that the alternator precludes it's fitment to the Spineframe. While not a killer it would mean that you would need to swap out the timing chest cover and work out a way of mounting an alternator onto the foreshortened crank of the CARC bike motor. It's been done before but it's not a bolt-in swap. As others have said find out if it's a flat or roller motor and if a flattie how many miles/Km it has done. If a flattie it WILL need rollerising. Factor in $1500 for that. Pete
