That's why I recommend doing your own inspection on it. Dont just take someone's word for it.

The engine in my CBR crapped out on me last fall too. Before I had even rolled to a stop I was already pretty sure what was wrong with it. By the time I got it home I was already going over the process of rebuilding the engine in my head. When it comes to Bikes, I have a hard time affording a lot of repairs on a lemon but I REALLY cant afford to just bail on one and totally lose out.

Fork dive and a saggy shock on a vf500? Never...

The thing is I'm not very mechanically inclined. I've had this Taurus my entire driving life. Only replacements were brakes and normal preventative maintinance. Other than a bent fork, some lightbulbs, and preventative maintinace, my R6 never had problems. This VF has had more problems than anything I have ever seen. Doing the work I was on it was stretching my mechanical experience. So like Jesus said, in an earlier post, anything about engine work comes out like the teacher from Charley Brown. If I had the free time, I might think about buying some sort of manual, but I have almost no free time right now.

And if these two guys come through, I am going to be selling it for what I paid for it. Not a bad deal for a broken bike.

Sounds like a fundraiser is in need you busted ass rider/driver.

Wish you could man. It would be sweet to chill. A fundraiser would be nice, but a real paying job would be better. I wonder if my mom is regretting telling me to turn down all those job offers.... now that I'm going to be bugging her like shit to give me some of my bonds for either fixing my car or getting another one.
