    Someone on the forum put an earlier, non direct-injected Axiom motor in his VX - it sounded like a direct swap. I think you could make everything work, including the dash. I've ridden in an Axiom - fun ride - also it's narrow so I'm betting the dash will fit without much trouble. You'l want the center console and arm rest as well if you can get it to fit (cup holder bonus!).

    Iamironman did the swap few months ago.

    Get in touch with him & he can provide you all the info.

    I'll tell in advance that the direct injection is not a option with the VX's ECU because of its software,also the axiom's ECU cannot be use with the VX because the wiring is different so you'll have to use the fuel injection system again in the VX anyways.

    All that really can be swap is the whole engine so no more oil compsumtion again.

    I have no idea of the transmmission swap
    Dakar was just the begining.
