I bought this bike in December. 2000 gsx600f. couldn't start it when it was cold out then when spring came it started then didn't. I changed the spark plugs and they were all carbon fouled and 2 and 3 had oil on them. It started up again but I noticed a few things I need to fix. I don't have any rider friends and I have been figuring this all out on my own. To start i'm gonna try to address the carbon fouling by changing the air filter then bleed the rear brakes since there is barely fluid in the reservoir.
As for the oil on the plugs, i dont know what to do. I just got it and I'm hoping its not a total loss. I read that oil on the plugs could be from an engine issue in which case i think i definitely got scammed. I got it used with 6k miles on it but I'm worried I got screwed over. I took some pics and I was wondering if I could get any feedback on anything obviously wrong....I know there is some. rust but I'm hoping its not a death sentence for it. I know you guys cant tell me much off of the pics but i have no rider friends and i'm desperate....thanks
something on the oil cooler here...looks a little damaged?
there was a lot of old black caked on oil that i cleaned off of this area
is the chain and sprocket too rusted?
theres oil on the bottom of the black foam wrapped around the hose...my guess is theres a leak in the hose?
exhaust pipes kinda beat...
is this bike a total piece of crap? could i at least get 2 seasons out of it?
thanks for your help.
