Anyone here had success swapping a 2020 engine into a 2015? Any tips and etc would be appreciated. What's all needed to transfer from 2020 to 2015?

I have already the 2020 engine, ECU and Harness.



My 15 engine is making a rattling sound(not a knocking sound). Sound does mostly go away when you rev it steady at a rpm. Bike starts up perfectly fine, no back fire no smoke or leak anywhere.

The Shop adjusted valves to specs. They checked compression(210 on #1,2&3. 205 on #4). Cam chain and tensioner are perfectly fine. No metal shaving and discoloration when oil was drained. The sound is still there after valves adjustments and all tests. He said it's definitely the rod then. It's just on it's way out(boom).

Thanks in advance!

Bump 🤞

I don’t know of many people swapping the 2020 motor because it can’t be flashed yet.

Only 2020 engine is needed. Keeping the old electronics. Just needs tunning once installed

If you already have the parts, I'd go ahead and do it and post your results here

Concept proven but the devil is always in the details. A lot of retuning needed for different intake/injector geometries?

Any more info on this? Is it possible to tune a 2020 engine properly using the RN32/RN49 throttle boddies/airbox/injectors?

I have a blown 2019 engine, not possible to get a new RN49 engine any more unfortunately.
If 2020+ electronics is needed to do the engine swap, it's suddenly way more expensive; i.e. wiring harness, ECU, dashboard, airbox required. (possibly fuel tank as well?)

if you ONLY swap the motor and use all the earlier throttle bodies, air box, injectors blah blah then its just a simple swap. if you want to use the 20+ ecu and harness then you need the complete throttle bodies and airbag with it. i would just swap the motor. the tune for just a motor swap will not need a retune but you could do one to optimize it. the motor is essentially the same it just has some durability improvements.

I’ve the same problem with that annoying ticking sound. Everyone is telling me it’s the Yama tick but are you sure it’s the rods?

No he's not. It's just what a tech said and most of them are full of shit. Yamaha have valve ticking clutch basket noise and transmission clatter. Lots of shit makes noise on these bikes

How did you guys mount the 2015 throttle bodies on the 2020 engine?

 

[andrewstclair]

They should slide right into the boots

 

[Robert Carson]

The injector cut outs for the 2015 are at the bottom and the 2020 cut outs are at the top.
I’ve managed to get hood of some adaptor plates that will allow me to use the 2015 boots on the 2020 head.

Ah yes this is comin back to me I believe a guy drilled one of the holes and I don't remember what he did about the other one

Has anyone else tried to change a 2016 Yamaha R1 motor with a newer motor? If so please post any info, thanks.

15-19 are a direct swap and 20+ you just need throttle body boot adapters. Don't need to post info it's common knowledge

Just had my bike dyno’d at PCR on Monday after doing the 2020/2 conversion on my 15. Happy with those results, especially since it was dyno’d using a SC0 rear slick. Would be interesting to see how it compares to the old engine since it’s making slightly more power now.

Would you mind telling me where I could get them

Bought them from a place called Xclusive racing in the UK. You’ll be able to find them on Facebook.
