About this blog

Alright VFRD world, I am new to the scene here but looking forward to being in the VFR family soon. With that said, I have been shopping around on all of the sites (CL, CT, local ads) and I've found a 2000 that has an interesting issue. I know, look around to see if the answer is already out there on the VFRD site, and I have done some research here and found a lot of answers and advice on rebuilding the tranny. I have the skills to break apart the motor/tranny and do any of the work that is needed, but I just wanted to throw out the scenario and see what kind of input I can get from everybody here. So here is a copy of the wording from the ad:

"Bike does not currently Drive needs to have transmission work done. A bearing on the main shaft of the trans has failed. You can still put the motorcycle into all the gears but it will pop out of 1st and 2nd gear. I have all the parts to fix the bike they go with the bike. New gaskets, clutch kit, main shaft and secondary shaft"

I spoke to the seller and he is a gear-head and seems very straight-forward. His shop is full of other cars and moto's and keeps a tidy place but just doesn't have time for the VFR project. He states that the bike runs great and will take off in third (if your real easy with it) and runs great at highway speeds. Obviously, that wont work and I will eventually need 1st and 2nd so given the fact that he is letting this thing go for nearly nothing and I don't have any real reservations of buying a project (after-all, that's really what I'm looking for as I love garage time), I feel like I really need to pick this thing up!

He also says that the issue started when he spun the thing up to redline in first and says that it "blew out the main shaft trany bearing". Again, motor runs and sounds very healthy, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the mill. Any thoughts or input are appreciated and I look forward to input from the gallery!
