hi, i think i'll be getting my first bike pretty soon, and i found one in local and said that everything is in good shape except SOMETIMES SLIPS IN 2ND GEAR
the price is so good to pass this, if that problem can be easily solved.. so how much does it cost to fix trans for bike?... please help me asap!!!

and here is pix of that bad azz

 

sometimes slips in gear and not slips outta gear right? If so, sounds like the clutch needs replacing. I paid around $130 for all my discs/friction plates and it took around 45min to change out. If your getting it for a good price i'd say go for it

I concur.

 

If it pops out of gear under acceleration than its may need a tranny rebuild. If the prive is very good and u are using it as a starter bike, id say pick it up either way if thats the problem.

 

From the picture, i can see the bike is coming from a dealer, so are they going to give you any type of warantee on the bike?

 

What is the price you're considering buying this bike for?

 

the price was $2000 , but he said or best offer.. so i think i can go little lower,
and for the warranty, i don't know yet... i gotta call him today and find out..

 

Dude, that's CAD cycles in Gaithersburg. Do not buy that zx6

 

you can't tell him not to buy it without giving him a reasonable reason why he should not...

lol um...

If he can determine where the bike is from just by the picture, obviously he knows a little something about the dealer and the bike that we dont know.

yeah, could you give me one reason why i shouldn't buy this??

 

i'm guessing they dont have a reputation for being honest...

 

CAD cycles is a very competant shop. Very good service. Very honest. Nothing in regards to the shop, rather I don't recommend that generation of zx6. It is a pig, without a particularly good engine. The frame is large, heavy and not all that rigid. And they aren't cheap enough to make it a competitive choice. IMO you can pick up a 98+ 6r for a couple hundred more and its a totally different bike. I also think that bike is ugly, but maybe I'm just vain.

 

oh ic... i thought you were against the shop for something. anyways, thanks for info...
i'm totally new to the bike scene... and i really don't know what to go with..
basically, i'm a beginner that looking for decent bike, and i thought that bike was decent, and i'm limited with my pocket($2~4000)...so if any of you have other bike i should consider, let me know..thanks

 

I had that bike for about a week and sold it and got an F3. Best decision ever. That bike was very huge and heavy compared to the F3 and harder to lean a bit for a beginner.
