I'm looking at possibly buying a track bike, and I've found a 1999 Yamaha R6 for around $1500 that already race ready.
The guys said the chain broke and there is a hole in the transmission case. I'm not too familiar with R6's so I'm not sure if it's through the engine case, or just the rear sprocket access cover. I'm waiting on clarification and pics.
What would be the price of the repair parts?
1. Side cover if that's all it is?
2. 520 Chain...good one? (I think it's a 520)
Here's the info he provided on the other forum:
Chain broke and put a hole in transmission case. Frame and swingarm are both dented, but apparently straight. This was my track bike for 2 years. Subframe slightly bent but usable. Left control scraped. Previously had a salvage title, when I bought it the dmv gave me a clear title, I don't know why, they just did.
-Penske triple (for 190 lb rider)
-Traxxion forks (for 190lb rider)
-Frame sliders
-Woodcraft clipons
-Woodcraft rearsets, std shift (1 spare with cracked heel guard)
-Hindle high pipe
-New D208s with 4 sessions on them, rear got oil on left side
-Race bodywork, repaired, ok condition
-2 tanks, one mint with vortex cap, one dented with stock cap
-2 rear sprockets
-Stock shock
If you're interested, email an offer. I'm too lazy to part it out or fix it, I just want to get rid of it.[/QUOTE]
Thanks in advance for your help
