It has a regular PTO out the side and is Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:57:56 GMT Rita Franz http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2246 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2246 H i John is this engine a 2 cyl horizontal layout,if it is I had a gen with that engine and yes it is a good running engine.I`m going to use a air cooled v Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:36:02 GMT John http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2245 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2245 Hi guys, new to the forum here. I have a sweet running Kubota ZB600 from a reefer unit and was wondering what a good choice of cycle would be for it after I Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:34:46 GMT dennis franz http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2244 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2244 ... 836 ...

I often wondered about a swap for Guzzi small block.

I have ordered a 836 cc air cooled v twin diesel and will install it in a 2003 Moto Guzzi Stone.

Yanmar clones are common on RE's. The 4sp is preferable, but I've heard of people doing it with 5 speeds successfully. They mount fine and are Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:50:49 GMT agave248 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2240 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2240 For Enfields such as the bullet the raccomended engine is the Lombardini 15ld 350. Less important than the brand is if the pto is compatible with the gears Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:20:16 GMT Brand, Pierre-Francois http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2239 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2239 I realise it would probably require mounting the engine off center Few motorcycles had their engines mounted off center.

Good information for planning the switch.

To fit nearly any small diesel engine into that frame would however neccessitate backing up a Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:29:54 GMT agave248 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2227 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2227 Welcome to the group. The short answer is that building a diesel boke is not simple. An sr 500 is a good choice but the engine an transmission are one unit Tue, 01 Jan 2008 22:44:27 GMT Paul Ross Milner http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2226 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2226 Hi All, Just joined yesterday. Wondering which bike/engine makes the easiest/best combination. I'm thinking of putting a 12 to 18hp engine in an old Yamaha SR Tue, 20 Nov 2007 01:16:36 GMT Mike Siebert http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2219 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dieselmotorcycles/message/2219 HEy, Mine spewed oil droplets from my adding 2ccs of oil in the primer a couple of times.
