Title: WTB complete engine to swap into my 1990 GS
Post by: utgunslinger13 on June 11, 2008, 01:50:32 PM
Just like the title says. I have recently purchased a 1990 GS500 and unfortunately what I was told was a stuck starter motor ended with a seized engine.  So I am currently looking for a DECENT engine, MUST run, with smothly shifting gears.  I am looking for something that I can drop the old motor out, and swap the new motor in with no rebuild!  I just received my economic stimulus check so I have money available and ready to buy!

As to my last purchase/scam on craigslist I am a little hesitant on purchasing anything online, so if you can provide some vouchers from fellow members here I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Nick

Yea Bush Bucks  :cheers:

Be sure to include another complete bike in your search as well... Sometimes you can find a whole bike thats a bit beat and it runs  :thumb: swap motors and sell parts $$$  :icon_mrgreen: Money and a new motor  :thumb:

just a thought

Gotta love the "Bush Bucks" being spent in the right place!

I'm in Phoenix Arizona and I am willing to drive but probably not outside of Arizona.  I've found a couple possibilities online but nothing I want to jump on yet.  Anyone?

Cool, I got my motor torn mostly down and it looks like I had a rusted piston seized against the cylinder wall.  I MIGHT not be in need of a complete engine.  We shall see what the rest of the tear down shows, but do keep looking just in case!  I appreciate all your help!
