Hi,
need to buy myself an engine for 06 RSVR1000. i have the factory version but have been told by Griff that anything from 04-09 will fit perfect. found the dreaded (as i have been reading up) gold flakes in oil and the engine was swamped - oil on the spark plugs etc.
previously when i drove it had stalled on me with a crunching sound and has been parked for 3 years and i had lost both keys. Bike went in for 1st service, lock swap, hooked airbox, PCV, sprocket swap and custom exhausts for high mount (delkevics) but then the gold flakes were found.
I had only done 600 odd miles but luck really crap. rather than rebuild the engine which will cost me possibly more in labour Griff has suggested dropping another engine- therefore would appreciate if anyone can let me know if they have one for sale. If anyone has one with a big bore kit that'll be especially helpful :devious
much appreciated.
