    Tecate 500 engine swap

    When swapping an 86 Tecate, does the KX 500 engine bolt in or does the frame require cutting. I've already guessed about the pipe. Does the swap dramatically increase vibration?

    The frame above the spark plug needs to be notched, thats about it. The pipe fits fine. I think custom motor mounts are needed.
