Dunno if a gen 2 fits in a gen 1 ... though the gen 1 does have a diff exhaust to the Gen 2 so maybe an issue there..
Give Griff a call at Aprilia performance in Tamworth - there's not much he dont know about Prillies & he will deffo point you in the right direction...

The parts that you have to take from your gen1 engine and put on the gen2 engine is:
The flywheel
One water temp indicator
Camshaft indicator
Both camsprockets in the front cylinderhead
And there is only two sparkplugs in the gen2 engine instead of four. So you have to remove two ignition coils, and put the cables together on the remaining igintion coils. The valve cover on the front cylinder will not fit with the new cam sprockets, unless you grind down a pice of aluminum in the cylinder head.
I think that's all (from what I can remember) that you have to do to get the gen2 enging to work in the gen1 bike.
But if it is HP you're after you will be disappointed. You will gain about 6-8 rwhp max. Not even noticeably I'm afraid.
