the price is right...I did ask what kind of heads it has, whether or not the manifolds are included, and whether or not it came from a running bike...still waiting to hear back.

for that price I'm a little wary.

Looks dirty. I wonder what it looks like on the inside?

How can you guys tell for sure it has the V heads? in the description he mentions ; "it looks like a later engine...cast stamp 96"

it really does look crusty but it is a 15 year old engine...

I'm waiting to hear back about the manifolds.

I am not sure of V or W, but 900 motors are becoming increasingly scarce and going for decent money...if it is a W headed motor, you can find a set of 620 heads and be golden...or any mulitude of mods based on your personal flavor...

well I put an offer in...

what would you guys recommend I do while it's on the bench and have easy access to everything? I'm not particularly mechanically inclined but I have very talented friends and can follow instructions.

another thing I'm curious about...

could I put an injected 900 engine in a carbed 750, using my Mikunis?

If you run the 900 as carbed then yes.  If you want to run it as injected, then the cross-tube under the back of the airbox will be in the way of the horizontal intake runner.  Injected bikes ran a curved cross-tube, carbed bikes run a straight one.

Your 750 carbs are slightly different from the 900 carbs.

They could most likely be made to work.

well, the seller accepted my offer of $400...so I'm into it for $669 shipped.

I'm a bit nervous. I really hope I don't find a nightmare inside this thing, but for this price I really can't lose I suppose.

Something else I'm hearing is that the 94 and up engines are what I need for a direct swap to my 2001 M750. This is a 91 ss motor. Can anyone enlighten me? thank you so much

If you get the engine number, that'll help determine what year it is.
