Yea probably, but I want this bike SO bad

DemonWithin99 09-05-2011 06:04 AM

then buy a bike... keep the car, you can only ride the bike off road, and not many months of the year.

The bike has a MA street title, I can ride it on the road. And I have to save money for school which starts tomorrow, so I cant just go out and buy a bike.

Do what makes you happy man

ILuvPizzaTimes10 09-05-2011 06:50 PM

yeah i agree do what makes you happy. but in a while after street riding and it needs a top end better have the know how or the money to do it. id say get on thats broken for cheap slowly fix it and make it yours for a toy. thats what i do. plus you learn alot about fixing shit from bikes. and there easy.

True, I know the valves need adjusting regularly on these bikes, but my buddy races, and he knows how to do it for wicked cheap, either way I didnt get a chance to meet up with the guy today anyways.

by top end i mean piston rings wrist pin bearings and rod bearings. they are made for part time street use at best and on and off the throttle woods/racing. holding it at an rpm for a length of time heats the oil up in these motors and cause a ton of issues. an oil cooler helps. but still not a 100% fix.

I thought I wanted I bike more than an F Body at one point, now I love the car more than ever and the bike is for sale. Just food for thought. Plus your car is really nice.

:qft:

If you think there's a good chance you'll regret it, don't do it. If you're 99% certain of no regrets....OK.

Yeah, you guys are probably right, looks like I wont be going through with this. And yeah, my car looks nice, but mechanically, it needs work, the friggin thing still idles goofy, it has a slow oil leak, which I have no idea where its coming from, front bumper needs to be repainted and it has high mileage. I cant really afford to put money into it, cuz I just started school. Plus these cars arent worth shit anymore. Idk, I guess I'm just ready for a change thats all.

welcome to the world of owning an f-body...no matter what u have its always going to need something unless u buy a brand new car lol....all i can say is if your working while ur going to school save up and then when u have the cash sell ur car and buy something else like an ls1

84ta406 09-06-2011 10:15 PM

Anytime you want you can bring your car up to worcester and we can take a peek and see where the oil is coming from and track down the idle problem. One less thing to worry about then lol
