Isn't a little strange for them to be selling one without the stator cover?!? :o

looks like the cover itself is broken...not just the stator...

Right bar end is crooked.
Says nothing about the broken right crankcase cover, the forward mounting bolt hole is almost gone, the other two holes look like they still have the remains of the other bolts.
There is a ding/scratch on the trailing tip of the collector cover.

WOW I didn't know the 03 gs had a 636cc engine in it. :? Think someone doesn't know what they are selling.

......I like the smashed tail light cover myself.....


"This is a great starter or commuter bike. You want to teach yourself how to ride. Well, look no further. The bike has Texas CLEAN TITLE and it has absolutely no mechanical issues!"

.....I don't know about that.....

They refer to the right engine cover as the stator cover.  :oops:

The VIN doesn't look right to me.  Seems like there should be a 'K' in there somewhere....  Am I wrong?

ZX6R, eh?  Uh-huh.

I have an '02 and there is no "K" in my VIN number.

I don't think the right handlebar is bent.  The way the handlebar weights are secured, using a big rubber grommet, can allow them to move out of position.  Mine do this all of the time.

The actual description of the bike is underneath the "Adrenalix" banner.

636...maybe it's been bored out and it's a real hot-rod now! Love them GS 636's and this forum.

I wouldn't touch that bike with a 10 foot cattle prod.

I wouldnt let them replace any parts on that, they dont even know which side contains the stator.

I emailed him and told him the auction title was wrong.  I've dealt with him on ebay before.  He puts lots of stuff up and prob overlooked the name of the bike in his title.

Anyways the bike looks like someone goosed it and put the tail down(explains the tail light) and then dropped on its right side.  That handle bar is definitely bent.  But it probably does ride and work fine, though it won't for long with that cover missing.
