Afternoon
After some bad news I need some thoughts .
I did a trip from Cornwall to Isle of Skye via Wales , Lake District , I headed from Peterborough to Cornwall and all was well , we met the next morning for start and after 40 miles ish my bike started to rattle , it started to get worse so at a coffee stop I check the oil and there wasn’t any , when I left I did check and it was on the min but thought I’d grab some on route .
Headed to the garage and put 2.2 Ltrs in …….ohhhh
I decided just to head home thinking I’d be closer if it gave up but she got me home , I grabbed my friends storm and headed to Wales .
I took my bike to BSD eye Peterborough and they have said it’s dead , at best top end and worse bottom end and wouldn’t be worth doing .
It’s a 2009 650 and really good condition , new tyres , grips and £1400 in shock and front end rebuild .
So
Can I put a later engine in without to many issues , wait for a engine of the same year , buy another and swap the good bits over to the new bike , buy a bike and put the engine in mine .
Possibly buy a newer bike and swap my bikes over , front and back suspension etc , would they fit ?
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated
Thank you
Chris
