Trying to work out if the bike I am buying has had an engine swap.

Ahh thanks for the offer but that would be a bit of a waste!
I know the history of the bike, ie not written off, no finance but me and the guy I'm buying it off are unsure if it's had an engine change or not. Is there any other way of checking other than a HPI do you know or is that the best way? ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010.

Matches up fine, but that doesn't mean to say it's not had an engine swap and an owner has notified the DVLA of the new engine number :/ ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010. Restriction ended 13/09/2012.

I'm buying a TL1000, and they're known to eat gearbox's. It's cheap, its off a friend and the bikes been stood for ages so is a project for me.
He thinks at some point in the past it's had a new motor as the old one may have developed a fault with 3rd gear.
I wanted to see if it had an engine change as then I know that for now the fault has been cured. ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010. Restriction ended 13/09/2012.
