Wanted RGV250 engine

**Asher** · 21st June 2012, 17:12

Finally got round to pulling the fairing off my RGV250 and notice the bottom end is covered in small cracks causing abit of engine oil to leak

Does anyone here have a bottom end they are willing to sell? i would rather it be complete or close to it.
Its a Vj22 but im lead to believe Vj21 engines fit fine and can be stronger.
Not sure of how much im willing to spend but will consider anything.
Thanks

Cheers.

Is that your engine im asking all the questions about on TM?

I have a 93P bottom end. Do not know the condition of the crank.

The whole bottom end? or just the crank casing?
Im not sure if i have the know how to swap cranks and gearboxes etc which is why im after something semi complete

Pretty sure it's all there. I stripped the top end and took the inlet manifolds off IIRC. TBH stripping the bottom end is pretty trivial, you'd be fine.

**imdying** · 22nd June 2012, 13:10

Oh and I robbed the front sprocket cover.

It's a Jap model 45hp model, so it'll have the jap ratio gearbox too... but swapping boxes is also pretty trivial.

Ok cool, PM with how much you are wanting for it and we can go from there.

$149 is what I'm after. Or swap for one of these

**Asher** · 22nd June 2012, 23:57

Sweet I'm cool with that price, I will get back to you soon

yea.. think its already mentioned but I saw an rgv engine on trademe, in auckland tho - auction closed but didnt sell. complete running engine incl all the bits n pieces to make it run I think.

was about 1 grand tho..

Nah, I generally don't sell bits... it's just he's in Chch, and RGV owner, a 1993 P owner, and in need of a bottom end. If I ever need another, I'll probably just buy a complete SP engine out of Japan so happy to sell this one on.

yea was a different fella I just grabbed an rgv bottom end from. hopefully shipping isnt ridiculous from auck to dunners.

I didnt think about the purchase too hard, but they are the same engine the rgv and rs eh? like I can bolt aprilia sidecovers onto it and cylinders and heads etc and it will be the same?

will see, if its no use to me ill chuck it back on tradies, the fella looking for an rgv bottom end might want it. dont think its an SP version tho.

Yeah, all the same

TBH changing crank cases would be a last resort for me as the ones I'm using have had some work that would take a while to replicate.
