TRYING TO HELP A MATE SORT HIS BIKE OUT NOW WEATHER IS WARMING UP , HE COULDN'T FIND A 2010 engine for his bike as it blew gearbox up he had gearbox done and within 30 miles it locked up solid . so he bought a 2009 engine and has had it fitted now it seems to be blowing massive foot long flames out when revved up and it sounds terrible when started up when cold proper lumpy bike has 2010 throttle bodys and injectors and ecu ,with 09 engine ,something is wrong we cant put flywheel off 10 model engine as its a lot bigger ? anyone else done this swap and any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated i think its trigger on the flywheel is in a tad different place or doesnt match ecu ? please help lol thanks in advance for any help.
You might as well put the foot long flames to some good use and one of you make some toast while the other types out some details about the bike as Richard H has asked. lol
I suspect you may have answered your own question in the flywheel. As you can't fit the flywheel you may have to change the Ecu to the 2009, can you compare parts anywhere to ensure the throttle bodies are compatible, part numbers etc or physically looking if things are the same.
There's a lot of good knowlgeable guys from every walk of life. Welcome to the forum Gary and enjoy the banter as well as the technical help.

im going to ring gavin at race hq horseforth to see if he can flash the ecu has no one else done this swap then ? he couldnt find a good speed 1050 engine any of you get to squires ?
If it's a Tiger 1050 it's still the same part number..... You sure it's not a 955 ? 955 flywheel looks bigger
Hi Jody, I think the 955i Tiger engine last production run was in 2006. So I'm assuming it must be a 1050 ??????
Yeah I was thinking maybe it was mis sold ? Couldn't think of another reason off the top of my head as the part numbers on Fowlers are the same for the 1050s ? Unless there was an engine revision as Triumph like to do...
