Title: WTB: Engine or maybe just headers(not completely sure yet)
Post by: breaker950 on April 21, 2011, 11:44:07 AM
My  2005 GS500F went low on oil and then I heard a ticking/knocking noise. I pulled over and it turns out I was REALLY low  :o on oil and so I havent completely determined what needs to be replaced or if anything yet, but I am hoping to find prices since it might just be easier to replace the whole engine.

I live near Clarksville, TN but could be willing to travel a little to get a good engine. Let me know what you have and how much you are asking for it please.

Bring a fist full of 100's over here. I'll sell ya a nice GR motor.
Then you get a crowbar, duct tape and a bunch of other stuff and cram it in.
Cool.

How much would that be exactly and how hard is it to make that work. I would rate myself as just above average mechanically, but motorcycles are still new to me in that sense. If you could give me more details I might be so inclined. You still live out at NC right?
