DR 650 engine swap

Do any of you guys and girls know if an electric start DR 650 engine would fit in a kick start type frame?
Cheers Jim

Hi Skip,
The bike is on an N reg kick start model (sp44a) although its only done around 50km the
engine and gearbox are fairly worn, i was wondering if a later electric start engine would fit. Might sell it now and buy a drz or ttr.

Hi Jim
I'm pretty sure the the electric start engine is a little to tall to fit in the frame,and i think there was also a problem with the carb touching part of the frame as well, i could be wrong but i seem to remember a friend trying the same with out any luck. Sorry i cant be of more help Skip
