45k it was only middle aged :\

And I checked ebay, its 800-1000 for a engine.

Screw eBay... Start shopping around on Craigslist, Wera classifieds, and other Sites like that. You'll find a motor cheaper then $800-1000. It'll just take a bit of patience and effort on your part. You could also post up a WTB (want to buy) thread here on The Forum...

dAMNNNNN. Craigslist and local forums; look for a parted out bike. You make be able to get a new motor and all of the supporting electronics.

Well cases are not even close to all your gonna need. You need pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets just for starters. The list only goes on from there. Also what about the head? Those pieces of the cylinder had to go somewhere. Where was that? The best thing you can do is a used engine. Otherwise your gonna spend way more building one. Just MHO.

Oh that poor motor... Interval Maintenance is important!

Yeah im probly somewhat to blame, I put 13k on it in 8 months, But I did like 5 oil changes. Who I got it from probably put some wear on it before me though.

Well I was able to score a top half engine case, with transmission, and pistons for only 75$!! Now all I need is gaskets would http://www.solomotoparts.com/Athena-...-YZF-R6-99-02/ this work??, lube, and i think im good to go. am i missing anything?

OK so its going great. got my cases together, installed clutch, stator\generator, new oil pump and clutch springs.

I can hear this baby purr already!!

Here it is in pieces

making progress...

One of my valves is kind of injured, but they all seat and clearance in in spec.

Today is timing the valves, ive never done this but seems straight forward.
