ok -
the 600 and 750 share crankcases, and are so close to the original 1980 pantah cases its not true !
the 900 and above are newer cases, but if you look beyond the plumbing on an ottovalvole you will clearly see that the crankcases are really the same as the old 1990 air-cooled 900 ones.
So - you can fit the 750's hydraulic clutch setup on a 580 for example.
You can also swap other bits like cranks and gearboxes too, but because some machining is done (for things like the barrel spigot) you may have to a little bit more than 'just drop it in' when moving up in capacity, but the other way round should be almost a doddle
Adding an oil coolers is a simple plumbing exercise anyway, but if you are only going to run for a half a dozen laps ... do you really need to add all that weight


btw
given the lack of interest in my FE for sale ... I'm even thinking of picking up a 580 engine (£100 ?) and bunging that into the FE

Well done Phil_h for answering that man's question. (at least I think you did, but what do I know?)

Skidlids, well done for fessing up to knowing nothing about it. Does you credit!

Thanks for all the replies on the tyre pressure and tread thing. Pretty comprehensive and a great help. I should be able to get that problem sorted now. Whether I do or not, is another matter, of course.

thanks for the info so my best route is to keep the 600 cases drop in the six speed cluster and then plumb in the oil cooler into the feed and return points on the front of the left case( which i have just found- its amazing what you can find when you get on your hands and knees ..doh) feel a right dipstick!!! -- not racing it phil, just like changing things!!
may even go as far big bore kit and race cams tho

FE ?? what does FE stand for?

Still part of a question unanswered here?

Can anyone help the man?

I can see where this might lead. Let's keep it clean, please boys.

Again just to show I don't know everything

I would like to know the weight Bias of a standard 999 and that of a Factory race bike, what is the percentage split between front and back.

Info needed for a future project I am planing
