That really sucks, and trust me I have been in the same boat. I purchased an R6 with real low miles, and the guy said it was not hitting on all 4 cylinders. Ok, I took it home cleaned the carbs, replaced plugs, etc. Found out that a rod in the #1 was broken! DAMMIT! I guess I could have called the guy back, but for $600-$800 I just replaced the motor. I guess "As-Is" got me that time.

Depending on what bike it is, I would consider just replacing the motor. If it is a Busa, they prolly run $1500 or so though. If it is something common like R6, CBR, or Gixxer6, you can prolly get them under the $700 repair bill.

Don't let that stop you from getting involved with SWMO. ;)
