Bike was flooded by salt water and sat in it for days before it was safe to retreive. The engine is seized up and just don't know if it's worthless to even think about rebuilding-money wise.The bike is in great condition and only had 7000 miles before this event. It seems that it would be ongoing problems with the saltwater intake and exposure it got!!? Thanks for any help and suggestions.

 

Holy rust, batman! Salt = bad. I'd say move on unless you have some huge sentimental attachment to the bike.

 

pm me if you want to sell the bike

 

So long as the frame isn't rusted, and your wiring harness isn't boned (it probably will be if it was submerged), I don't see why you couldn't fix it for a relatively low cost (hopefully it doesn't have a flood title)... the engine head and cylinders will probably be shot though (but everything else should be soaked in oil...

You'll probably need to replace some bearings and stuff, though... and remove any corrosion and repaint those surfaces.

 

Thanks for all the replies and help. Will keep you'll posted. Great forum

 

Looks like I am going to part it out or sale the whole thing if someone wants it.
