Cbr1000rr 2004 Engine - Wanted

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by AlfG, Jul 28, 2014.

  1. I know this is perhaps the wrong forum, but I'm asking just on the off chance just in case any of you might have one sitting in your shed.

    I need a good engine for a CBR1000RR 2004 in nice condition if possible.

    I bought a blade for a track toy earlier in the year, low mileage and looked pretty good to me. The seller seemed like a decent chap so I trusted him.

    Before I went riding it I thought I would get the suspension serviced and setup by MCT which they did, and noticed a couple of other things wrong.

    So I took it to the garage to get the 'other' things sorted and I thought it would be good to have a daytime MOT so they did that too. When they test rode they said it was knocking and needed a new engine.

    I didnt believe them so took it to BSD who have now confirmed it does need a new engine (or that'll be the cheaper option). 6500 miles! My arse or if it is its an abused 6500 miles.

  2. Why did they test ride it for a MOT?

    I think you should start a "Dodgy seller dilemma" thread
     
  3. Ebay bargain, oh, hang on.......

    Not really sure why they test rode, perhaps they just fancied a ride out??

    Good job they did though hey!
     
  4. Maybe they fucked the engine on the "Test ride"
