How much would it cost in general to rebuild the 600 kat motor. Just curious, is there a rebuild kit for it ?

More than its worth.
The gaskets alone exceed the FMV of the engine.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

The gasket kits not that bad in price, it's the labor that'll kill you.-Steve

Lowest price I've seen on full engine gasket kits was right at $300. That doesn't include rebuild parts like rings, pistons, bearings, or other things you generally may need. Also doesn't include machine work that's generally nessasary from a rebuild. We are talking about a full rebuild with replacement pistons, valves, and such right? Not just a engine repair?
If your paying a shop to do it... your probably gonna spend $1100-1200 if you get a really good deal at a non dealer location who is willing/able to work on it. If you get a dealer shop to do it, well... their quote (if they will even do it) is gonna be major shock. (probably 1/2 the price of a new bike...)

save your money and buy a working 750 unless you come across a really good deal.Please, Just go home, relax, and have a think or two... hell... have as many as you can handle! It'll do all of us some good.
