Got my modified Crossrunner (same as VFR) axle back. Shortened then threaded so I can use my custom cushdrive & VFR400 brake parts. Thus keeping my chain & sprockets the same. Should get rear end back together this weekend 😁 Ready for MoT next week & NW200 trip on the 8th 👍

Welcome to VFRED from across the pond. Function over form any day for me.... DYI tent pole canister

Still got the boxy tail but at least the stripe should be less offensive to Captain 80s! Pulled the image from RideApart; apparently Japan only https://www.rideapart.com/news/717362/yamaha-xsr900gp-rzv500-fz400r/amp/

No don't think so, its size doesn't match the OEM YTZ12S, terminal height is 35mm taller than OEM and has a lower CCA rating of 200amps. Best to go with a YTZ14S, CCA of 230amps AGM battery, and the same physical size as the 12S. Clearing old stock, might not be the way to go with batteries!

You're shooting blanks...

Aside the obvoius engine differences, the 6th frame has thicker sections and therefore stiffer and also the front forks are 43mm and stiffer as well. That is why some guys have installed a 5th engine in a 6th gen.

I think you'll find there are some internal gearbox ratio differences between the 5th and the 6th. The crank is obviously different (gear vs chain sprocket for the cams) but AFAIK the bore and stroke are the same (so maybe rods and pistons?), and I assume the lower crankcase is too. I suspect the alternators are different. I know at least one person has swapped a 5th gen engine into the 6th frame so I presume the engne mounts are the same. So aside from the crank, upper case/cylinders, heads, gearbox, alternator...its all the same? Probably doesn't leave much.
