All,
FZ6 enthusiast, have owned two and just got bit by my 9100 mile 2007 FZ6. Everything was running perfectly until a hard 1-2 shift at redline, boom, engine blown. Coasted it to the side of the road, had it towed to an honest shop that I trust, and got the bad news that the engine is toast.
Engine replacement estimate is $3100 which is far more than I want to put into the bike, and I lack the time or competence to replace an engine myself on a 15 year old bike.
What options do I have? Anyone have experience with something like this that can tell me a) where do I go about selling something in this condition and b) what is a low-mileage FZ6 without an engine worth?
