Its been a while since I have posted last, Hi yall!
My latest predicament forces me to tap into some of the fine brain power here to guide me.
I have '05 600RR. Its had electrical trouble in the past, bad grounding etc.
Well I seem to have gotten that fixed, but this winter I wheeled it out
to take run on a warm day we had, and it wouldn't start. The starter would crank but no
ignition. First thought the battery was too low so swapped it for another I have on
trickle charge. Same deal. Then I thought its the dreaded corroded ground issue again....
Long story short I took it over the Parkway as I just didn't have the time
to figure this one out. Turns out that the engine is lacking compression in all cylinders
and perhaps that is why it won't start. Well its not the valve adjustment that's causing the
compression loss. According Chris at Parkway Cycles its looking at full top end rebuild.
What should I do? Should I get it fixed? Install a new used engine? Sell it for parts and
start over with some thing else?
Can I get a reliable used 600RR engine for less than they want to charge me
for the work? Should I ditch it and get something else?
HELP!
