Something to think about (engine question)

[ky busa]

seen my old busa for sale on craigslist bought it new in 2005 had 1 mile on her I sold it when I got my 2011 busa mileage at time of sale was 56,200 miles the ad said he had bought it with a failed engine so he replaced all the gaskets and 1 piston and rod??? seller did have pics posted of engine apart said clutch and tranny was pristine it still had the factory clutch in it when I sold it. Since the complete rebuild ??? he has put 200 miles on the bike it now has 57,000 miles on the odo. was I on the verge of engine failure when I sold it and didn't know run like new when I sold it .after break in I ran mobil 1 4t oil suz oil filter changed oil every 4000 miles it never ran hot not even once I took great care of my busa it never needed nothing but routine maintance didn't even last 1000 miles after I sold the old girl any thoughts on what happen?

1st off you have 2 question and discredit 99% of what you see and read on Craigslist...

Granted they only did "200 miles" you don't know how they rode it for 200 miles. Keep ur mind at peace. Everything will need maintenance unfortunately. Not like u sold it knowing of problems. Not ur fault

chances are the photos are fake. a quick google search can yield pictures of anything you want. that way they can add value to the price without doing any actual work. I hate assuming everything you see is BS these days but it is craigslist and that list of errors is too much to not notice. Put your mind at ease.

I think if your bike had really broke that soon after the sale you would have heard from the buyer.

^^^ exactly......


Dude is just trying 2 pull a quick scam by lying and say the bike just got rebuilt because of the high miles so he can ask 4 more money in the sale.

Hell I could blow up a bike in 200 feet let alone 200 miles after I bought it then blame the guy for selling me a POS.
Don't worry about it, feel bad for the next dude that buys it though.
