You've mentioned that before Teg - did the PO tell you that? I'd do a compression test to verify it's within specs in the service manual. If the compression is good then it is a good sign.
not sure if I can do a compression test, the starter is siezed up, he was also cranking the motor over, though very slowly, with NO oil in the case...I put 1.5 qt in the case of 10-30. so unless there is a crank bolt or something that will have to wait
If the starter is siezed, I'd have a had time believing it is a "fresh rebuild". I mean, who rebuilds an engine with no kicker, but doesn't repair the starter?
figured it was some strange euro measurement lol that's where it is on all the other bikes I've tinkered with
but the starter; the inside piece rubs against the magnets and has basically seized it self in place. I was also told it has weisco pistons, which I am doubting, due to not finding anything out there. if I can find a gasket kit for the motor, I may tear it apart and actually look inside, looking through the oil hole the gear set looks amazing, and the crank looks brand new
You starter motor probably just needs rebuilt. There are kits available on eBay for about $25 or so.
Wiseco pistons? I've never seen any for the GR. There is another bike that uses the exact same pistons though...... FJ1200 rings a bell? It's odd that another manufacturer uses identical pistons, but if Wiseco makes them for that bike, they should fit the GR650.
