My new to me R6 has a cracked cylinder and a FUBARed transmission.
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
Four race weekends and only three races. I can't believe the fucking $$$ I have wasted.

Holy hell! That's less than good news.
I believe you were looking for this one-->![]()
Look for a used motor. You should be able to pick one up for $500.
Sorry to hear you got stiffed. That sucks
Ouch. I should have a spare racebike next week if you want to use it until you get a motor. Sorry you got effed in the a.
:EDIT No extra race bike, someone else beat me to it. That makes me a sad panda.

Naw, the transmission was funky from almost the first day. Dropping the bike 10 inches and sliding off the track didn't crack the cylinder or make the transmission any worse.
Thanks everyone for the offers of borrowing/selling a bike. I'm going to get the R6 going again. I'm not real comfortable with borrowing a bike for racing...I'm afraid I'll end up owning it (either because I like it or because I throw it down the track).
I was so, so, so pissed when I got the news. This year has been like a bad weekend in vegas....get killed at the black jack table...go to the ATM....more bad luck...go to the ATM.....at some point you either run out of cash or call it a day.

Or get a wrecked bike and mod the shit outta the engine to show all the other novices what's up![]()

Things are improving
- apparently I have two cracked pistons, not a cracked cylinder (I heard wrong). A couple of gears are gone and the shift fork is bent. However, that means the motor is fixable. I sold the F4i and that cash is brining back the R6.
and,............it should be ready for the NEXT RACE WEEKEND.
