gen3flygirl Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Would anyone that lives in the North Olmstead area and know a thing about the 07 r6's be able to check out a bike that I am looking to buy? BAD324 found it on cleveland racing, I need to know if it is worth my time/money. The guy is free after 5 most days to show it. I won't be able to get up there before I go out of town this weekend. I would really appreciate any help on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I drive through North Olmsted every day after work so I can probably take a look at it if r1 can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrosity Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'll be headed that way Thursday (just not sure on the time). If no one else can pm me and I'll see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper_308 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 That's the next city over from me. Let me know if R1 can't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan_Rider Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I can go look at it but I dont know shit about those bikes so it would be pretty pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 i'm uniquely qualified as an expert on yamaha (since i own a vino) but just too lazy and busy to make my way out there to look at this not-as-good-as-a-honda bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I could get out there this weekend, but no earlier.The '05 r6 should be pretty solid. last year for that generation, so any problems should have been addressed.Josh, if you end up going, just look for basic stuff.- weeping fork seals- any evidence of gasket leaks on the engine- check under the rear fender/hugger to see if they've been ripping burnouts- scratches- electronics (turn signals, and anything else that's chincy, but a pain to fix, or a reason to get pulled over)- does it start when coldI also try to check transmissions for 2nd gear issues. To my knowledge, the R6's have never been prone to this, but it seems like a lot of people shift w/o clutching, but do so while keeping the throttle WFO. That can bend the shift-forks, and cause the bike to pop out of 2nd gear during engine-braking. So I try to do that a couple of times, to see if I can force that issue, and find a false neutral.

jarvismb Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'll go with all of you to look at her on a bike.Is that what we're doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 i'm tempted to contact the guy just for an educational joy-ride.I'll legitimately evaluate the condition of the bike, but I have no interest in buying it myself. Just haven't ridden since my crash last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 he's a friend of the guy I bought my 600RR off of and has built some high hp busa's I've seen run. Good guy from what I know and usually does things right it seems so I figure this bike will check out. If I was in a hurry, I woulda just bought it myself but I knew Gen3 has been lookin for a deal so figured I'd pass it on to her first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Krystyn, you might wanna double check with him on the location of the bike. Just saw it listed on craigslist from last night and it says Strongsville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I live in Fairview Park and can check it out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Bike is in strongsville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Strongsville....that's a little farther than North Olmsted for me.Are there any takers closer to Strongsville? I'll still go if no one else is closer so it'll get looked at either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper_308 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 That's also up the street from me. Please advise, I'm off tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sniper, I can forward you the information I got from Gen. I've also had a change of plans and I won't be back up north until the weekend.Let me know if you want/can check it out for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, she just wants to make sure the bike is in good condition to buy then? I can test ride it, and go over the bike, that's not a problem. Back in the day, I was a bike tech at Kennedy's.

r1crusher Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Cool, I'll send you a PM shortly. And yes, she's looking to purchase so you know the drill: overall condition, no leaks (forks, engine, etc.), electronics all functioning, a test ride would be good, cold starts, etc. Also try to make notes of things that might need replacing or servicing like tires, brake fluids, chain, etc.Those are most of the things I look for/at when doing my inspections but I'm sure you'll check it over well.
