Thanks

Yeah Thanks for ringing them though

Looking at choosing between £450 (+VAT if i want a receipt) for a 7-8k J1 model engine, or £500+VAT for a 4k J2 engine

[Bendy]

Well the answer to that one depends on your long-term plans for the bike really...

Why don't you get a nice R6 instead?

[Ste]

Nah, if I was getting a different bike, then that wouldn't be what I'd go for

Why dont you try to fix the ond one before you waste your money buying a new engine.

I've thought about this a lot, and talked to lots of people about it. Yes, it *could* work by doing lots of oil changes, and putting a new clutch in, or by doing a complete rebuild on it. However, for the cost of doing the latter there it's not worth it. The oil flush and new clutch fitted will possibly be done when I have the engine out the bike.

The main reason for going for a new engine over fixing that one, is it will be changing from a 24k quite worn engine, to a 4k one. THe current engine will be wanting lots of stuff doing in the near future, and its just not worth it IMO. Fit a new one, dismantle this one, clean it up, ebay the bits.

i swear u changed the clutch plates when we did the fix it day at kevs. i think u should change to a smaller bike hehhehehehh

I changed the clutch plates the day before it went bang.

You still after an engine? I might know someone who is selling a low mileage G2 engine (which will fit), for £375ish, maybe a bit less...

Cheers for the info scoob, but a G model engine is a bit of hassle to fit. They do physically fit, but there are bits that then have to be swapped off my current engine. So a J model is a lot less hassle

Could put an A1 model 636cc one straight in, but then I'd have to faff around with insurance and tax and stuff like that

Or this one

KAWASAKI ZX6R / ZZR600 COMPLETE ENGINE

It came from a '93 ZX6R but I am sure they are the same from 90-94, please verify this for yourself.
It has done 14800 miles.
If there is anything I can check to help you identify it for your bike, please email me - happy to help.

I can ship it anywhere in the UK for £25 using my carriers, but you would have to collect it from the depot nearest to you. Almost certainly within 25 miles.
