Hey im about to buy a 1989 cbr 600. They want 500.00 for it. it has 18,000mi on it they said it needs the vavles ran, all the plastic is there and straight, after market exaust, no title bill of sale only, I have road v-twins all my life is this a good deal?

 

$499.99

 

Talked him down from 750 to 500

 

Depending on what state you live in, no title = pain in the *** trying to get plates. Otherwise $500 is a great deal for an '89. What does "needs the valves ran" mean?
Valve adjustment?

 

Well I bought it so now im the proud owner of a cbr!!! yeah it needs a Valve adjustment. started doin it tonight but got frustrated and calling it a night. Might call around tomarrow and see what some places will charge to do it.

 

yeah, it can be a frustrating learning process, but with the right tools and a manual it really isn't too bad at all. post pics!

 

Ill get some pics up as soon as the plastic is back on hope this weekend. I have the service manual and the right tools. I ran them 3 times last night and still making that noise talked to a shop today and they said for 200 they would do it but they are 3 weeks out. I need to find some buddies that know how to wrench on these cbr's!

 

I can and would do it if I wasnt a long *** ways away! good luck!
