OK, quick re-cap:
I bought a 2002 SV650S in August 2004
Two months ago something happened and it stopped working
Now I have come to find that the plain bearings inside one of the connecting rod setups has siezed and in doing so has scuffed the crankshaft.
My mechanic now hands me an estimate for a little less than $2,000 (about £973) He wants to recondition the crankshaft, replace all kinds of things, and calls for about 11 hours worth of work. I paid $4,400 (£2,350) for the bike in the first place!
Am I getting ripped off? Someone who knows tell me what to do! Is this worth fixing at this price?!
