Anyone put a 99-13 1300 motor into a 98 RSTC?

I imagine it would fit fine other than the manifold/carb setup....anyone do this?

 

I MAY have a nice low mileage 1300 with ivans jet kit installed in carbs to use... ...would be nice having 100+hp instead of 75 hp

I am pretty sure the heads are different as to where the exhaust ports are located, older Gen I and V-Max heads on front cylinders exit forward instead of out the side, Dingy is doing a project where he is putting a V-Max prepped Gen I motor into a Gen II frame which is very similar to an original Royal Star frame. There is a gent in England that put a V-Max motor into a 96 Royal Star, very extensive mods required. Here is a link to a thread I started on his project. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?116625-Here-is-one-guy-s-answer-to-Yamaha-not-doing-what-they-should-have-in-the-first-place

Tankerhank has put a venture motor into a '99 royal star. he's on this forum and runs one on delphiforums

Taz is correct, I was confused the other day when I answered the OP on the question, I was thinking he was asking about putting an older Gen 1 1300 cc motor into a Royal Star frame, that would be the same as putting in a V-Max motor where the heads are ported differently.

 

It is possible to put a Royal Star Venture motor into a standard (96 to 01) Royal Star frame.

 

Sorry for the confusion.
