What broke on your skoot that required removing the motor?

What's up with that Suzi 2-smoke against the wall in the corner of the shop? ..... Is it for sale?..... Just put your kawi tag on that with a headlight duct taped to the front..lol

PS I hope you get your bike fixed fast at a fair price.

Valve adjustment and leaking head gasket. Zook is not mine. I have a lot of help in this work.

Also discovered a leaky fork seal while cleaning things today. Dammit

$200 + parts for valve adjustment (usually 600+parts)
$200 + parts for head gasket (usually 800+parts)
$200 + parts for forks (usually 400+parts)

Total out will be under 1k, but still some fat cash to drop on a bike.

You wouldn't catch me going that deep into my bike. I don't know enough about them to do that kind of work. Props to you.

Being a mole....ya know about the business card trick on the fork seal right....usually a leak does not require a new seal...just sayin....but I know nuthin about street bikes.

Like I said... someone is holding my hand... and is very much leading the way with the case-crack related stuff. Everything else I can handle on my own
