How hard? M1100 motor into 696

[DoWorkSon]

Yeah saw that motor....

Seems a lot of $$$ for a damagesd engine. Considering that multistrada 1100 engines are going for less.... One company quoted me 2100-2600 for an engine depending on condition. Waiting to hear back from another shop who is supposed to be getting a few 1100 engines in august.

Still up for debate on what to do. I think a hi compression, lightened engine for 696 would be sweet..... Maybe not as much power, but a unique and cool project with pretty significant gains...

Still have months to decide and work at the details

Anyone thinking about the Monster 1100 engine from a Siemens ECU bike should know that the timing gear have to be changed if you plan to use the engine in a bike with a Marelli ECU 15M/16M/59M/5AM.
The timing gear from a Hypermotard -08 & -09 should work.

Those have been ruled out because the Hyper/Multi frames are different (swingarm mounts to frame) and the engine cases are different- they do not have mounting points for the swingarm and are deeper/wider something...
