  6. what sport bike?

    hmm, id say get some more time under your belt before purchasing something of that caliber. Maybe try out a 600 for awhile, youd be surprised at how much fun they are.

    ill never go down to a 600 after already owning a 08 cbr1000 tho. The last thing I do is go smaller. Someone once told me to get a newer 250f when I was already riding a 450. I can handle the 1000s for sure. 600s are for wimps ;) lol

    i own a 09 R6 :fyi:

    liter bikes are fun, but most riders will never outride a 600cc sport bike.

    it probably take the same work on either motor your still putting a 4cyl motor where a vtwin used to be you have to have pretty much all new electronics and such custom exhaust whole nine yards

    most likely it was a single cylinder unless it was a banshee. It is a lot of work to do something like this. Throttle cable, clutch cable, shifter, aligning everything, exhaust, motor mounts, rear end bearings, chain and sprockets/gearing, etc.

    But in the end, itd be worth it...

    thanks. Im not worried about cost. I am just wondering what other causes are. I am going to get the wheels balanced also.

    Wheel alignment is about double that cost around here. So adding in the balance i am guessing around 120 for everything.

    holy shit man...thats nuts. Wheels cost 5 bucks each to balance here and about 40 for an alignment. But if you know someone, its about free ;)

    But yes, you need a front end alignment, in the end itll still be cheaper than new tires. A number of things can cause un even tire wear, like bad ball joints, wheel bearings, or worn tie rods.

    And chances are, youll go in and they will tell you your tie rod ends are bad and etc. Thats how they make their moneyyy
