Where would you buy a complete motorcycle engine? My gen 1 sv650 is in need.
I've considered:
1) ebay, which I'm not sure I trust, and
2) buying a used bike from Craigslist to cannibalize.
Interested to hear what NESR would do.
The story here is that my race bike developed an issue at Loudon today. Something started feeling odd one lap after driving out of the bowl. Then into T9 the engine braking felt stronger than normal. Then out of T10 the motor was weak, and making a new sound. I pitted in. Several trusted sources in the garage listened to this new sound, suggested that it was rod knock, and said that racing it would be a very risky move. I'd rather not blow a motor and oil the track (or worse), so the bike will be fixed before seeing the track again. There are only two weekends between now and next round, so the best option seems to be an engine swap for a good motor. I will also attempt to rebuild the current motor, though this is likely beyond my current ability, especially in this timeframe.
