hey guys, found a mc22 today at the smash repairs near my work.. has been sitting there outside since mid 2008, well rego ran out september 08, so im guessing it was crashed before then.
chain is rusted beyond belief,
had a look over it and its got some heavy front on damage.. frame looks fine. forks look bent and nose cone fairing is non existant anymore, plastic on dash is smashed, rhs clip on has been obliterated on the plus side, it wasnt insured, so its not a write off at all, and the rear of the bike is mint. wheels look good aswell as the discs.
offered a bargin basement price and the dude accepted, probably pick it up in a few weeks.
bought it for parts honestly,(has an aftermarket exhaust and brand new discs front and rear) but might fix it up if its worthwhile.
what are the main things i should be checking with a bike like this? new oil/battery obviously, carb clean etc, but is there likely to be any major engine problems from sitting in the elements for a few years?
cheers[hr]
ps, anyone near chelsea smash a 1991 black cbr250rr mid 2008 lol?
