2007 600cc cbr600rr

 

came across this interesting find
https://boulder.craigslist.org/mcy/d/boulder-custom-cafe-racer-1983-xl600r/7213002955.html

 

Decent looking build, but the keyless aspect on a street bike is a no go for me. Too easy to steal.

 

Ordered $400 of random maintenance parts for the BMW. I've been ignoring the valve check for a couple years now, time to do that (and fix a leaky valve cover gasket in the process), plug change, coolant change, replace the chain slider, replace a cam chain slider, fork seals and oil, regular oil, filter, air filter change. Looks like I'll have a fun day of getting real dirty coming up soon.


Max BMW is having a 15% off their classic parts fiche sale through the end of October, btw, those in here with BMW's. 15OCT is the code.

Y’all Ducati folk....

Good share, that made me want to engine swap my CT90 even more. Ugh.

 

Do it!

 

Pretty sure I’d get murdered if I bought an engine before a ring. I can get away with spending on maintenance items and small parts but probably couldn’t get away with an engine

 

I've bought a bike, an airplane, a boat, a tractor, 3 guitars, and a house in another province. My girl has pretty much given up on the idea there's a ring coming her way. I may surprise her. I'm kinda running out of things to buy for myself.

 

Ummm....
Engine is a maintenance item if your old one is no good.

 

I had a 03 cbr600rr loved that little bike. Unfortunately the rearend meet a car and was destroyed. Hence why I moved up to the 04 cbr1000rr.

 

And there goes riding for today. Battery did not charge so the dreaded dismantling of the Ducati to get to the battery begins... ugggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!

 

That sucks. I don't know of a bike with a worse battery location than the Monster lineup.

 

Found the issue after teardown haha. Blown 3amp fuse on the tender cable. She's charging now. Like my wife said, some days we just aren't meant to ride.

 

What blasphemy comes from this maidens lips,,, all days are good days to ride.

 

Hahaha to be completely honest before I even knew there was a problem with her Ducati I had a weird feeling about riding where we had planned. I dunno something just didn't feel right. I'm probably just getting old lol. Everything happens for a reason I suppose.

 

I think my scrambler is based on the Monster 797, but my battery is under my seat. Granted, its also under a bunch of panels that I don't know how to remove also..
