hey all, i was reading in another topic about how much people can spend to replace , rebuild, a GTR-1000 engine. as one person had said, he had spent $4600
just in parts
and another thinks he would be hard pressed to spend 1k. the reason i am curious for some feedback on this topic is because my bike has just done 100,000 and obviously the
engine isn't going to last for ever. i was having a bit of a discussion with my mechanic about this topic some time ago and he told me it would'nt be worth reconditioning the engine.
he said just to buy a crank would cost roughly $2000. i'm aware that this person isn't into rebuilds maybe thats why its so pricey. maybe when the time arises, i should look out for a
damaged bike and just swap the engines over. if there is anyone else out there that has been down this road i would appreciate some feedback
cheers
