Hello HUNT749

As Skids says my bike suffered the same problems again:mad:
A quick fix is indeed a second hand engine, as I did the second time round.
However, I have decided this time to get the engine rebuilt, as you take
a chance with secondhand engines, service history etc.
Good luck in your search;)

I hope that is not correct;)

yep good project hence my placing a bid on it last night :)

took this pic not overly clear tho..took it on phone

bbboooooooo!!!!!!! it is cheap isnt it :)

Probably going to go for far more than I want to pay.
My 998Hybrid is a 998Bp engine in a 748RS Chassis
it will be an Excellent project for someone

topitoo.

If you dont mind me asking whats causing your failures??

(just read that back sound like a therapist)

more than likely but you never know hey..:)

started stripping and taking engine out but unsuprisingly swing arm bolt bloody siezed ....

Shells went twice in my 748rs - very expenxive potentialy. I replaced Pistons/Rods/Crank/Bearings, the first time.

Second time went the above plus crankcases.

A new engine would be the best option. Baines had a low mileage 748R engine that would be great for you, give them a call.
