My '04 R1 lasted about a month after I bought it, didn't even get around to paying the Taxes and it decided to burn out it's charging system. I did some reading on R1 sites and it seems a few others have had the same problem and ended up replacing the rectifier along with the stator and generator rotor. These parts, even with a bit of a discount come to about 1k.
So, to get my bike on the road and legal, it's gonna be like 1700 bucks.
I'm so (*&%#$! &*%%$# off about buying this pile.. GRRRRRRRRR
So, should I part it out? The rest of the bike is in pretty decent shape, the fairings are a bit scuffed up... It's hard to tell if it's been dropped from a stand still (which I'm thinking it was on one side) or if it was from the previous owner failing at installing the cage without scratching the crap out of it. Who knows... It's certainly the dirtiest bike I'd ever seen when I got it, I should have just left it there to rot. Is it worth the effort to pull the thing apart and sell off what's left or it? Should I bite the bullet and fix it? Fixing it is gonna be a long effing time out cuz I'm broke right now.
I dunno wtf to do with it. I'm pissed, and sick of not having a bike to ride. I'm tempted to just go open the door to my garage, and kick it over off the stands and watch it slide down my 45 degree angle drive way and smash it with the sledge hammer when it gets to the bottom.
I hope I get my Busa back next week as planned... but what's the fun when I killed my girlfriends bike and we can't go ride together now???
