[QUOTE=rmay635703;165224]....why not just get a cheap diesel engine?/QUOTE]
Because it's a motorcycle. The engine and transmission share the same case. You can't do an engine swap without swapping the transmission as well, and, there's no such thing as a diesel motorcycle engine with a transmission attached to replace mine with.
As for raising the compression, glow plugs, etc: I realize that these things will help. But I'm on a shoestring budget. This is all just to answer the "what if" question, nothing more.
