for reasons I am sure many of you will desire to find fault with, I am seriously looking to butcher a predator 500 and slap that badboy into a capable offroad machine.

my biggest concern here is the tranny, gear ratios. I have virtually no experience with offroad stuff, but plenty of experience with bikes, and doing stuff on the cheap.

how well will it work do you guys think (done properly mind you) ?

what is a sure fire problem?

seems worth it to me, or I wouldn't bother posting about it.

 

Motor mounts must be perfect and front and rear sprocket must line up. Other than that have at it! Tell us if it works out. OPT

 

Im aware if that, been involved in my share of stupid engine swaps. what I am curious about is how similar to a bike the gear ratios are....what can I expect? are there any other differences?

 

cmon guys, gimme some feedback here
