I have a 2008 CBR1000RR with a blown engine, so have been looking for a replacement engine and have found some ranging from 2008's to 2012's.
I've heard the 2008 will support up to the 2011 engine. But I've also heard from some posts that the 2012 engine may also work with the 2008.
I would prefer to buy a 2012 - but I don't want to spend $3500 to $5000 on a new engine to find out later that it will not work with my 2008 bike.
Does anyone have any knowledge on whether the 2012 is supported in the 2008? And if so, is there any mods etc. that are required to make it fit?
