    I have a 98 zx9 that has a destroyed transmission. I know lots of guys swapped zx7/zx9's of an earlier model...what about these? The zx7 is a lot more popular. Can I do a swap? I have a 00 model zx9 in the shop but the electrics etc are different. I guess just 98-99 zx9's will work...

    Thanks

    I think Lance shoehorned a ZX-9 motor into a ZX-7 frame. He did pretty well on it too!

    Kawi forums will give you the lowdown on dropping the 9 motor in a 7 chassis, common swap for the street guys. Lance went the cheap route, buy his bike and punch the 9 out for a serious v7hwt contender.

    I was actually looking to do the opposite. lol ZX7 in a ZX9....

    After searching for hours and hours....I found that an 03-07 Z1000 transmission is nearly a direct swap for the ZX9. Score!
