Was looking into a CBR600F2 (1993) and well, basicly from what i got was the starter was bad and the compression seem to be low...anyone might have any ideas what it could possibly be?

 

Is it your F2, or one you are looking at buying and tested it out?

How do you know that the started and compression are bad?

Did you use a compression test gauge?, or try to turn the engine over by hand?

More info is needed to help.

Bad compression usually comes from scores in the cylinder walls, or fooked rings.

 

its a more a project, buying the motor...the two boxes LOL...and the frame, the guy scrapped the bike and was trying to sell it for parts, but i noticed this and was talking to him about it, it ran at one point and then a system idle cble somthing like that broke, and he decided to pull it apart and then he mentioned that oh the engines compression is also bad along with the starter...so i took some lok around for parts...found some for pretty cheap...think you ordered those sea monkeys and when you the shipment you need to put thatcastle together and the bowl they are going to be in broke...some super glue.

 

Get the F2 cheap and stick an F3 motor in it.Just my opinion.By the time you rebuild it,you might as well have an F3 motor.

 

Don't even bother if you ONLY have a frame and an engine, unless you get it for literally pennies on the dollar (ok, $100 or less), AND have the title in hand when you walk out. And make sure the bike hasn't been wrecked (check the numbers, check the frame and make sure it's not bent. Check for rust too.).

That is, unless they're spares for a race bike or something.

If you have a complete rolling chassis (forks, steering, swingarm, sprockets, useable chain, wheels, tires, brakes, wiring/controls, lights), then I'd consider it.

But don't even think about trying to peice a bike together through eBay. It'll take months and cost more than a complete beater F2 would have (and that's what you'll end up with anyway, more than likely).

Beleive me, it's not worth it, unless you get a BUNCH of parts for your money, AND buy a primarily complete parts bike. Unless you're making a race bike, in which case you'll need lots of spares anyway.

If you've never seen a factory-condition F2, I'd strongly suggest you bring an F2 owner with you to inspect whatever you buy (the same goes for any vehicle, really).

 

boguht it for actually 70 bucks lol, engine and two boxes full of parts no rims...no tires...but for 100 i got a new battery and a charger so bsaicly a complete engineexcept some work, roughly 300-500 dollars of parts...kinda a lot

 

10k miles on the engine, has all lights but it just needs some cash put into it so it works...i know a few people who can peice a lot of it together pretty quickly if i need them.

 

Is that with a frame? Or just an engine.

 

I have some xtra wheels,if you want them.

 

It was a frame and engine...and a few other parts...lights..no tact and no head light...basicly its a project bike, took some pictures just need to upload them reall fast.
