Well its barely 9 in the morning and I already got bad news to report on the bike. I tried bleeding the front caliper and got nowhere so one thing leads to another and I realize it can't be anything else other than a stuck piston..... I unbolt the bracket and take off the seal and try to pull the piston out.... Yup nothing. Use more force.... Nothing. Lock it between my feet latch on to the lip with some channellocks and pull with all my force. Which is a pretty good amount..... And get nowhere. I think its safe to say that that caliper is f-u-c-k..... FVCKED.... I'm not even gonna bother with it and replace it with a better, lighter and prettier caliper.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/495070227.html is that worth buying?for the triples , swingarm , wheels?
I'll still need new forks front wheel, front brakes but i can sell the motor and end up with a pretty good deal.

Give him $700 for it. Honestly I wouldn't buy it because of the chance of parts not selling but I think parting it out for the rotors, calipers, rear wheel, motor, swingarm and maybe the frame to a stunter, along with all the other tidbits will come out to way more than what he wants for it.... But like I said there's a chance that it won't sell.... Wait you didn't say you're gonna part it all out. Nevermind you're gonna use it it right? Yeah I think it'll come out good. Check what that engine is going for in your area or just on ebay and see if you'll make back a good amount of cash on that

[hotbox05]

about 500. give or take. and i should be able to use the swingarm , rear wheel , triple tree , rear brake , rearsets , muffler , maybe even midpipe.

i'll sell the frame for a good amount as well , or maybe i can make it into a bobber project if the vin is clean.which it's probably scrapped so parts it is but a racer or unscrupulous non caring person would bu the frame to race or stunt or smoke crack on and cut lines with , lol

[Ironriot]

A stunter is your best bet. I wouldn't trust it the frame after that crash... I say good deal if you can sell the motor

Hey Cole man, thanks a billion again for the assist on the wiring today bro! Im stoked to have working, lighted gauges and even the gear possition sensor works!! All out of a pretty chopped harness (heheh we did some choppin of our own with a spare harness..but hey..it works...lol )

[TheCafeKid]

How hot do the cases and cam cover get? Shouldn't get THAT hot right?

Gets hot enough id think...

Shi7z magee on your caliper bro...that sucks...im kinda in the same boat i think..i think my MC is shot..i rebuilt and cleaned the pi$$ out of it, but it's still sticking i think, i havent had it out on the road, but it looks like it is. Might be my brake line tho...guess ill have to see bout that one...
