Hello everybody. Want to make a quick intro. Im a newbie Kat rider. I've been obsessed with motorcyle (bikes) since a yougster. Started out riding dirt bikes. I recently got my paws on a used GSX600F. Dude i bought it from told me he was riding one day and it just shut off. I had been looking for a while and came across this bike for $800. Little to my knowledge that the piston rod had come a loose from the crankshaft (the bolts came off somehow). My guess is that it got overheated. Luckily it didn't do damage to the crankshaft. It even broke a piece of the cylinders jug off. So....you can guess where all that stuff went. I'm all in now. I've been waiting to build a bike for the longest anyway. Lights,.....Cameras.....ACTION!

Welcome. Look around and you'll probably find an 1127 engine to throw in there. 600 chassis with an 1100 engine would be a lot of fun to ride.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I was able to dive right into "surgery" because of the info i ran through here on KR. A bigger motor is my wish. A 1100 or 1127 if i can find one that i can afford.Like (Psycho1) suggested, it wold probably be better to do a transplant than repair the 600 motor. i found a couple 600's on ebay for $300-$700 bucks. i decided to hold the cash to get what i really want. In the mean time i'll be going through the bike piece by piece with clean up and mods.CHILL WILL

Yeah i think thats my best bet considering the added cost of new gaskets, pistons, and i forgot to mention the rocker arm on the same cylinder broke. Dont know which one went first.....i think the rocker arm?Attached FilesLast edited by DaPurjn1; 03-14-2012, 01:47 PM.CHILL WILL
