yall guys have helped me out alot but here we go again with my bike. Im almost to the point of either parting her out or selling as a whole unit. The only thing is that i would feel worse about all the money and time that i have already dropped into it.
I just got a car saturday and after i drove off the lot i almost slammed into a wall because the car has been wrecked before. And i wasnt told about it, even after asking if was in a wreck before. So the down payment i put down i wont get all of it back due to a re-stocking fee. From saturday to 8 this morning. it cost me $300, with me putting less than 5 miles on it.
Im looking around for another tranny, or whole motor and tranny. I have had my mechanic replace my whole entire clutch assembley and now i can get it into gear. But we have to trick it at the gauge cluster. So it wont die in gear. But after putting it in gear it dont go anywhere. Nothing threw 1st or 2nd gear. But it starts right up. Just barely touch the start button and bam it starts to purr.
My mechanic said that it would be easier on him to just change out the whole motor and tranny. and it would be cheaper on my wallet to just have him do that. Mainly because he doesnt want to mess with the transmission and thus i would have to compensate for him not wanting to do it.
.Im seriously debating about this whole procedure. I keep pondering on if this bike is worth it. Considering how much ill have to do to it. What is yalls intake and out take on this? any and all comments are gladly welcome. Ive been dupped into this bike and have already put alot into it. Ill be close to touching $2500 spent on this bike already.
Thanks in advance to all of yall. yall have a big heart and alot of yall are wise. But im just to the point where i dont know which road to take on this thing. Ill use all of yalls input on this situation.
but if yall come across a motor and tranny shipped cheap, let me know. so i can use it in my pondering process.
- A little more info on how the bike ran previously is needed here. The mechanics statement that installing a different engine would be cheaper is correct. I can swap an engine in 1 hour now having done it only 3 times. A tranny is a minimum of 8 hours for someone who knows what they are doing. But I would be a little leary of his suggestion only because too many mechanics want to take the easy way out. If the bike would engage into gear and drive before he put in the clutch then I would lean towards he did not adjust the clutch properly. Which is why a little more info is needed.
