So I just bought another 400L model (92) and my engine decided to go kaput. I have a zxr250 lying around with a perfect motor and carbs but shagged suspension and brakes. Could I theoretically put the 2 bikes together to make one good bike? Eg zxr400 with zxr250 motor or zxr250 with zxr400 front end brakes tank and fairings ? Appreciate any advice
You will need to swap engine, wiring harness, dashboard, ECU and all electrics basically. That is, if the engine actually fits and the mounts are the same. You might have issues with swingarm/shock clearance, as well as carbs and airbox with the tank.
We'd all usually be urging you on to do a ZXR400 engine rebuild project round here - what went wrong with it? Otherwise you may be able to transplant the ZXR400 forks, triples and brakes onto the ZXR250 as the ZXR250 brakes aren't much chop. What's the size comparison like of the front fairings between the 250 and the 400? That would be the limiting factor for swapping the body work.
Ill buy your blown 400 for the price it'll cost to sort your 250s suspension out Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk
