what kind of low end power do these two engines have? also, is it a 62t thats in the xl 700, and a 61x thats in the kawasaki sx 750?? i'm really confused.
low end power from the xl 700 and sx 750

The 61x and 62t engine codes are yamaha engines. Kawasaki lingo is either "big pin" or "small pin" for the 750's. I'm not a couch enthusiast so IDK who makes the XL700 (yamaha I assume). The kawasaki 750's aren't known for their low end power, they're mainly midrange-topend.
'92-'94 750sx had the small pin engines. (slightly better low-end power)
'95-'02 750sxi/sxi pro had big pin engines. (more power up top)
I'm no expert but AFAIK the electronics on all the 750's are interchangeable. The small pin models had a lower rev limiter and the SXI pro had a timing advance i do believe. I'm pretty sure this is correct but if I'm wrong then someone please chime in. Hope this helps --Josh

Oh... sorry I didn't mean to confuse you. The electronics are only interchangeable between the Kawasaki engines. Yamaha elecs don't fit a kawasaki motor and vise-versa. You can take the elec-box from a kawasaki small pin and use on a big pin for instance (the rev limiter would be ~700rpm lower but it would work).
Also AFAIK the yamaha electronics aren't interchangeable. You can only use 62t elecs on a 62t. I believe you *can* use 650 elecs (6m6) on a 61x tho. In order to use 62t electronics on a 61x you'd have to run a 62t stator/flywheel.
You could run a search and find out all the info you could ever need. Much more in depth than what I can explain.

thank you so much. say i bought an sx 750 stock, would i be better off to run the dual carbed yamaha 701 in it for more low end grunt??
EDIT: small pin 750

Well... you'd have to make all sorts of modifications to get the yamaha motor transplanted. It can be done (and has) but if the SJ hull is so much better handling then why not just buy a SJ?

becaus this is dirt cheap and very close
