Need Major help!!!! Engine Exploded!
I just bought a zxr400. However is was sold as having a gear fault (my original tread being "stuck in gear") and he told me that a mechanic had looked at it and quoted 120 for parts and labour. But when it was deliverd the WHOLE engine is split and compleatly smashed with the starter ripped off and 2 inch wide holes on the front of the engine by the down pipes. This guy i bought it off has completly done me has buggerd off with my money and i cant get in contact with him as i know he fully knows hes cond me! So now i need an engine! My bike is a 1990 H2, does anyone have an engine that would fit for sale? or anything that can help. i have been quoted 400 smackers for another engine and i just cant afford that cause i spent all my savings on the bike so if anyone can help me out with a cheaper option you have my attention! Thanks

I will try m8 but i dont think i will get very far to be honest, because the aution was ended early so it never went through the whole buying process, prob so he could get round the Final Value Fee. Anyway about the engine on ebay right now i am wary that, well he could tell me any mileage i have no way of checking and i am in no mood for being conned again, but he did say it was running when he took it off last week. Do you know of any other engine that would fit my bike? any of the newer zxr400 ones or the L type ones?

As far as i know the H and L model engine swap with both bikes, but im not 100% sure if they run on the same electrics. There was a thread about this a while ago saying you need different CDI units for both engines, i think thats all you need to do. One of the racers knows for sure.
As with anything on ebay you never really know what your getting. If the guy is breaking the bike surely he will have the speedo? Perhaps double check when you goto pick it up?

who's the seller on ebay for the engine? there's a few reputable breakers of zxr400s on ebay, AMS, specialized_zxr and also fallsoffslowly off this forum.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.
