I know that offsetting an engine too much can cause handling issues for a bike.

The engine (GSXR 750, 1986) in the KZ project is offset to one side in the frame between 1/4 and 1/2 inch.

I don't think it's enough to make a difference.

Any other ideas?

Not a big deal

Thanks for the fast reply.

I figured it wouldn't be too much an issue.

Had someone tell me it will have oiling issues. As if offsetting an engine will change the galleys. hahaha Not like I'm mounting the bastard upside down! :LolLolLolLol:

the only way that would be is if you tilted the motor front to back, ALOT. then, maybe, you might have oiling probes, but would have to be a hell of alot of tilt.

offseting that lump 1/2 to the side, you probably would never notice anything out of the ordinary.

It shouldn't have much of an impact. Keep in mind that the motor isn't 50/50 for weight though. So too far left will have a much larger impact then too far right, assuming the chain side of the engine is heavier.

It's biased towards the right actually... for chain clearance.
