f4i motor??
Is $200 too much for an f4i motor with 30000 miles on it ?????
I know my f2 had that many or more and still ran strong but I dont know bout the f4i. I found this one and know 200 is cheap, but is it bout worn out or what???

Re: f4i motor??
dude $200 is a ******* steal
And the mileage doesn't matter THAT much.. IT's all about how often the oil is changed, and how it was ran..
I got 34k on my f4i and I hit rev limiter DAILY..
I've seen bikes as old as 1989 with over 80k on them..
But I've also heard of people throwing rods in 5k miles..
It's just how you run it, and how good you monitor it (making sure you have oil pressure, making sure its not overheating, and DEFINITELY constantly changing the oil)
for $200 though you aren't gonna find a better deal.. I'd rather have 4 motors with 30k then one with "5k" cause when someone says their motor has 5k on it, who really knows, it could have 20k...

Re: f4i motor??
also my 2 cents
You could part a blown f4i motor out for $200 no problem...
stator, head, clutch, oil pan / other case covers, tranny, easily over 200 in parts to part one out

Another thing I have noticed is that most stunters don't maintain their bikes at all. They just ride it until the motor blows and then find another motor to put in. I come from a race background where it was totally different.
