Exclamation I need a new motor anyone have one?

This weekend at Gingerman I was one of four R6's that blew up. I need to pretty much get a new motor. I need a new exhaust cam upper half of the crankcase rod piston bearings couple valves and some more. if anyone has a 03-04 motor let me know also can i use an 05 motor or not? Thanks for any help in advance.

there is no diff. at all between an 03-04-05 motor. just the larger throttle bodies. FYI.. these motors were near bullet proof provided the bearing clearances did not get too loose or valve clearance never checked (especially if you milled the head). Both are just maintinence issues.

here in Cali, a bunch of them have caught on fire because of the tank splitting up at the track.

I saw one that went down in Nashville and split one tank slider and still put a hole in it. the head was milled and all valves were in spec. how often do you need to check them? It had four weekends on it since they were checked. less than 600 miles.

I may be willing to part with a real good and strong motor. Ceramic bearings, 5 angle valve job, etc. Makes close to 120 on u-4. Also have all 2005 electronics and throttle bodies available as well as yamaha kit ecu, yoyodyne slipper, ohlins forks, shorty subframe, marvic wheels, brembo w/ remote adjuster, fold up levers, faring stay, tank with dry break, shorty subframe, mini brambo rear caliper, more more more lol
