848 Evo motor in a base 848

[bradd15]

Guys,

I posted a while back about my 08 848 motor which ended up having a main bearing issue and part of the crank as well. Anyway, i am looking at putting a slightly used 848 Evo motor in the bike. Is this a direct plug and play? Any issues like ECU differences, throttle bodies, oil cooler etc...? Anything that might not bolt up or carry over please let me know. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

For sure the ECU is different....more HP (140)

Throttle bodies and manifolds are about 5mm larger inside diameter. you could likely make up any fuel needs with a Microtec, PCV, Bazzaz ect...the EVO ecu wont match your non-EVO harness so dont use one of those.

No offence, the base 848 is a better disposed engine. Evo +2 up top but 4hp less all the way up. Just my 2c.
