Dio engine swap (Anyone who knows Yamaha Jogs and Elites)

I have a 95 elite with a very banged up body and plastics and i recently obtained an 86 yamaha jog with a mint condition body. So my question is, would it be possible to switch the 95 dio motor to the good lookin bike? Would both of the bike engines be interchangeable with each other?

i dont know why you would want to. you can get just as much stuff for the jog as a dio

lol if he wants to do it, then let him be...
as long as you got a good welder and a good eye for measurements it shouldn't be that bad to do it. The hard part is the wiring, as long as you have both of the wire diagrams it should be just time to cross reference them.
good luck for trying something "diffrent"

Incorrect. Nothing for the pre '92 Jog, worthwile as getting as parts for the post 92 Jog and Dio parts.
Yes you could do this swap, but its not a direct bolt on, search around on hawaii forums (if you skip through all the bs) you may find some info on this sort of swap.
