racer212 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Got a handful of units that would make good tinker projects for the winter if so inclinded. All prices are before tax/title if applicable to you. All are clean title. 1996 CBR600F3. Runs, cosemtically ugly crashed up plastic. Needs TLC stuff - levers, chain adjusters, fork seals, signals etc to be street worthy. $700 1996 Kawasaki ZX9R. Ugly, but does runs. Bodywork original but rashed. 100k real miles (odo showing 6 miles) Compression was low but came up nicely after ring-free treatment and has stayed there. Still needs TLC type stuff but was ridden to my shop. $600 1997 Suzuki Katana 750. Bodywork rash and busted, engine slow to start but will fire and run. Believe valves need adjusted and perhaps carb clean. Chain, tires, fork seals all look good. $825. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it warms up a little I'll drag them out in the sun and shoot a couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobicus Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks for the pictures! I see the side covers are missing on the F3... Any dents in the tank? Is the upper fairing stay straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer212 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Tanks ok. Fairing stay looks ok to walk around inspection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John01XX Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So now the question is, which is faster on the track with you riding, the F3 or the 954? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTC Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hobie, I think I have an F3 fuel tank and a couple fairing pieces that you can have. Tank is in primer and has been in my basement (rust free) and has the fuel lines still attached but has a few small dents. I bought some extra shit for when the kids rashed the CBR600 F2/F3 but they never needed it (thankfully) Just have to figure out a way to get it to you without breaking the bank. Let me know and its yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobicus Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 So, I've been chasing an oil leak with this thing ever since I got it. Finally put oil dye in it and traced it down to (what I thought) was the starter motor. Replaced the O-ring around the starter motor, and it didn't seem to help Finally decided to disassemble to pull the starter again, remove the stator cover, and see what was going on. Isn't this lovely? It appears that the housing that holds the pin which holds the starter gears has broken. An the part of the stator cover that holds the pin is broken too. So.. someone drilled a hole, put a bolt in from the back, and attempted to hold everything in place with a metal/nylon nut. W T F ???

Furbird Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nissan would warranty it. Can JB rescue it? I've seen an idiot JB a connecting rod back together, can't possibly be under more stress than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Goat Herder Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The outer case could just be replaced. the inner case could be welded and then machined correctly but the cases would have to be split and striped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I bet someone could come up with a MacGyver for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
