Hi I am new to here but have been reading countless threads and decided you guys could help me out. This is kinda of a "should I buy" post. I found a 1992 with 15k miles and a clean title. But the bike is said to have had the top end of the motor rebuilt with a 2001 top end. If I'm not mistaken I thought 2001 was fuel injected. So is this something you have seen before?

I can post a link to the add if wanted. Thanks in advance.

 

post it... id like to see

 

1992 cbr 600 clean title( first with $1,700 cash takes it)

Would you buy this? It needs to be pushed started because the starter was put in weird. I guess when they try to start it wakes weird noises. I haven't looked at the bike yet so I cant explain in detail.

 

The starter motor acts on a starter idler gear that hits a driven gear attached to the back of the alternator rotor. If the starter is new, it is possible that teeth on these two gears may be damaged. There is also a bearing on the crankshaft that could be affected as well. Not a little job in either case. Unless you are mechanically minded and can do the work yourself, I'd walk away, because a shop is going to cost you.

 

I would be able to do it myself. But do you think after all of the failed start attempts the teeth are now stripped completely?

Also what do you think about the top end of the motor being rebuilt with a 2001?

 

agreed

 

maby its me but when i hear a about a clean bike with low miles id expect to the the oem paint first... makes me think that it was dropped and they did not want to spend the money on oem parts.. and not sure what they mean buy rebuilt with 2001 top end.. my guess that maby the internals from an 01 f4?? looks it was the 92 red and white

 

I'm not going to take a chance on this bike. Too many red flags. Why would a clean bike with only 15k miles need a rebuild anyway? I'm looking for a f2 or f3 but I don't see too many FS around here. Thank for your help.

 

take your time you will find one...yea i agree with why would a bike with only 15k need to be rebuild..

 

This not the droi, err, bike you're looking for.
