So theres the bike in its entirety still is I messed up the engine last night sometime while riding now it has a nasty knocking noise in the engine which I have yet to figure out what it is.... timing chain maybe or threw a rod I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!! I mean I can take it through the gears just fine can get up to about 40 mph but the knocking is deafining.. SOOOOOOOOOOO

Down to the nitty gritty.... It is a full set up bike just might need a new engine which 700 dollars on ebay....(dafuq) -_- So considering selling the bad boy and letting it be someone elses problem I was thinking around 1100 dollars let me know either A: what the problem could be...... Or B: what you guys think of the price.......... thanks

Not tryin to mess with your for sale thread... but replace/fix the engine bro.  You've got a nice bike otherwise, with all the good upgrades... and you won't get close to what you want for a bike with a farked engine, regardless of the upgrades.  Heck, sell some of your upgrades to fix it if you have to... or if you still don't want to mess with it, sell the upgrades separate, and sell a parts bike to minimize the loss... but I near guarantee in the state it is now, you will lose the least by just fixing it yourself even if you have to replace the engine.

Here is the thing if I had the money, time, mechanical knowledge ect I could do it all for 700 bucks roughly not including the time I would put in to swap I mean bunch of decent engines out there for around 500 to 700 but realistically I am kind of done with the gs lifestyle I want to go with something bigger and more powerful for example an sv650 or a cbr 600 older of course lol so I figure I would sell everything with this bike for 1800 and just let someone else drop the 500 on a new engine who would want to then re sell it and prolly make some money just not my forte for something to do lol But thanks for the insight!!! If I still wanted it I would but for now I thinks its time to say adios to the gs!
