I have a 1981 xj550 with a bad engine, I bought a parts bike with a good engine but its a 650, and has a shaft drive instead of a chain, can they be swapped ? It looks like the frame is a bit different, any advice?
The only thing you could possibly do is change out your swing arm off the 650 and put it on the 550 but you may also have to change out the wiring harness as well to get the 650 running properly

I looked on Babbits online, and according to the part numbers the wire harness on the 650 and the 550 is the same, i know the two engines look pretty close and the bolt on parts are all interchangeable from what ive found so far, so aside from the swing arm..I guess I may be ok.
