Here's the link that shows a few of the things that you need to change to get the 2010 engine in the 2005. There was also a small engine mount above the shift shaft that was different. I just fabbed one up from some plate aluminum, but you can also purchase one.

There's a video on YouTube that pretty much sums up all the stuff you need to do. It's very easy though, swap a few things from the 2005 engine over to the 2010 and splice a couple wires. I also swapped the 2005 stator to the 2010 engine. I'm not sure that it was necessary, but the output was...

The small bit of info I got from the shop said they heard air leaking from the oil filler port, meaning leakage past the rings. That's why I tried the oil in the cylinder trick and now I wish I had used some Ring Free or something else....just for the heck of it to see if it could have got the...

Great post, and glad to see you took pictures to document everything....which I didn't. These engines are impressive, and I'm a big believer in FJR longevity after getting intimate with the inner workings of her heart. I love bikes that you can put big miles on, I also have a Triumph Tiger...

I don't no about prior owners running a K&N filter, it had a stock Yamaha filter when I got it which was pretty dirty but not the worst I had seen. This was an AZ bike, I never even met the guy I bought it from. He rode it to CA and it wouldn't start on him after he got here. A local shop...

As soon as I make it to Sears to get some new sockets, I'll have the head off. The rest of the engine is torn down already. Wish I knew if the clutch was original, it looked good as well. The cams look great, no wear on the lobes or on the journals.

While those are dirty, that is nothing compared to the ones on my bike. It was thick muddy crap on the airbox side and on the intake valve side. Worst I have seen. I checked the valve clearance and all were in spec. The main reason I tried the oil was because of the shop write up from where...

There is no doubt that it was run with a dirty intake system, I used over two cans of carb cleaner to get the throttle bodies clean. After the oil in the cylinders, it ran but it was obviously low on power. I didn't do a compression test after running it, wish I had. The shop didn't do a...

I picked up a 2005 FJR with 89,xxx miles several months ago that didn't run, got a smoking good deal on it and bought a used 2010 engine from Ebay for $500 for a swap. While waiting for the Ebay engine to show up, I got the old engine running. The shop I got it from had diagnosed it with low...

The article mentioned they are planning to open a manufacturing plant in the USA, so that's good news if it happens. I just recently broke my Craftsman 3/8" drive ratchet. Didn't feel like driving to Sears so I got a composite ratchet from Harbor Freight, that thing is nice and gets good...

I know the Gen 1 stator fits the Gen 2 engine, because that's how I have mine set up.....so I'd imagine they should swap over the other way as well.

I figured that the bracket would work, but I have a metal shop at my job so I came in early and made my own.

Starter.......Merry Christmas,I have one that I know works!

It was very straight forward as far as the swap was concerned. Just a few things needed to get swapped from one engine to the other, and I had to fabricate one engine mount (the triangle shaped one above the countershaft). My wife is getting on me for having this engine in the garage, so...

89,000 miles. The intake was really dirty. I mean like almost mud on the inside of the fuel rail and inside the intake leading to the valves. I imagine a previous owner didn't change the air filter or didn't have it installed correctly. I put a bit of oil down each cylinder and got it to...

I recently bought a 2005 FJR with a (supposedly) bad engine. I bought a used 2010 motor on Ebay, but while waiting for the replacement to show up I did get the old engine running. It has really low compression on two cylinders, but it does run. I would like to offer any parts to forum members...
