Hay there all looking if it's at all possible to change my 550 which will need a rebuild soon to a 650 since they are easier to find and to get parts. plus the extra power wouldn't go a stray . Just wondering ho much was involved in the swap if it can be done that is it a 08 Fe and I pretty sure that they are the same frame thanks

I'm a little suprised that you know half the answers but not the other half?

550 spares harder to find than 650? I'd rather tune a 550 and have a reliable bike than put even a standard 650 in. spares are equally available.

The 550 ECU will have too high a rev limiter and will break the 650
