Suhweet... I actually work in Silver Spring.

I wanna set it up as a low budget track bike, but it has some gremlins that need ironing out

before I feel comfortable putting it on the road.

BTW its a 88 CBR 600 Hurricane.

Thanks,

M. Walsh

I know its probably not the best track bike.. but the price was right (free) so if it gets destroyed, it wouldnt break my heart.

BTW either early next spring or summer, I'm going to pick up a replacement for my SV 650... Either a 06 Gixxer 750 or a 1000.

Hey Dave,

I just noticed a little tapping coming from the engine.. Would it be better for me to bring the bike in as a whole or just drop the engine out and bring that to you guys?

wll it would be hard to diagnose a running problem without bieng able to run the engine. if you wanna bring it in give me a call. is the tapping coming from the cylinders or the top end? sorry i dont get to check the site much more cause im busy reassembling my 05 gsxr 1000.

That nitrous kit on the gixxer is going to be crazy.. I cant imagine wanting any more horsepower out of this bike.

Be safe man.

FWIW, this bike makes my FD feel like a Yugo and the torque is insane when compared to my old bikes.

Also, do you know what the 1st maintence normally runs on these bike? Can i bring it to any shop I want.. or just the one I bought it from?
