If it'll stop you from asking everyone to trade your 2 Blasters for their 400ex's and Cannondale's... DO IT!

I would guess your looking at $1k-$1500 to rebuild the engine. Im just guessing at that # others might know better. At that price your getting close if not up to the cost of a running bike.

Yeah buy it. If it needs a crank Trav on cannondaler.com in the misc. forsale section has an old style crank forsale for $150 bucks. It's an old style billet crank and rod. Buy a $40 dallar Z-400 bearing and your good to go.

Oh and Trav is a good guy to deal with, I bought one of the cranks from him.

put in a bid for like 1,000 at the last minute if no one bids, then contact the dude and see if he will sell it out of ebay. CHEAP. or maybe see if he wants to trade for two blasters?>?

I talked to that guy about a week ago about it for a friend. He said it was still running when he quit riding it. Said there was tons of shavings in the oil filter. Seemed to be pretty honest about things. Said he would keep it but afraid if he repairs it, it'll do the same. Told me that ATK said it needed a crank bearing and nothing else to be good again though so he's not in the know really.

Seems like a farily decent buy but for the price to make it reliable if you really want to go for it, you could get a much better deal.
