[illicit_records]

oh k this is horrible

I have an 03 r1 got it from a friend, it's been sitting for about 2 years.. I tried working on it myself with what "little" knowledge I have... I bought a battery for it and hoped it would start knowing damn well it wasn't going to start I just hoped. but anyways.... I want to get it started and running before May is over and I don't know where to start..... I just need help getting this bike up and running ASAP!! I'll supply beer liquor, food, barbecue, whatever the hell you guys want.. I'll pay but I tried posting this on here first because I don't have too much money in the first place to barely get this thing up and running.... and YES it needs a lot of work...let me know your price

here's a picture of "the ugly"

even if you get it startd the rim looks bent. will it crank over? are you sure it isnt in gear when you crank it? you have gas?

got dang and i though my bike was in horrbile condition what happen to that bike it looks like it cought on fire dang that bike is going to take a arm and a leg looks like.

[UrMyStlkAl]

yeah I thought my bike looked bad, lol

[bikerboyz]

dude if i were you i wouldnt even bother to fix that bike any more just sell the parts because its looks like you going to put alot of money into it

[bikerboyz]

hey how much for your chromed out rims ill give you $300 dollars for both of them :icon_thum

[ownage]

that bike isn't that messed up...i just hope you have enough $$$$ to buy the parts...cause you can fix most of the problems yourself...

[illicit_records]

I'd rather fix it than part out.. it's not in gear.. it cranks just won't start..

If it has been sitting up I would pull the plugs and see what they look like. Probably rusted all to hell. Wire brush and WD-40 or go buy some new ones. I would start there.

[rickykline]

just a thought but is the fuel petcock on the tank turned on??

[illicit_records]

I don't know if it's on, but when I turn on the ignition the fuel pump draws fuel.. does that help any?

[illicit_records]

and the plugs are a bitch to get to, would I have to lower the motor from the frame?


I have to head to work at the liquor store, if anyone has any inputs you're welcome to call.. 713-702-0900 Shaun

[Moody]

There is no fuel petcock on that bike and if you don't know how to get to the plugs then you may as well take it to a shop. I have seen the plugs rust up on several bikes that sit for long periods. Whatever....

[rickykline]

if you really need help i can try to stop by one day this week after class.. shoot me a pm with some directions.. i hope you have all the tools needed to work on it too.. i hate working on stuff without tools

[Ya Boy]

Your bike do not look that bad. I would help you but I am in the process of restoring a Busa. If I finish in the next week, I'll shot you a pm. When looking for parts, remember e-bay is your friend.

Yeah I was hoping maybe after I get it fixed up painted and running good I'd get rid of it for a busa... but the 99-00 busa. most of the problems with the r1 though I think is mostly cosmetics which I bought everything already.. waiting on someone to get back to me on some wheels off r1-forum and it will be pretty strait looks wise.... getting it running is another story... i just have to do a major tune-up and go from there.
