Re: AT engine breaking
I broke an RD04 and it's quite apparent that some parts are really not in great demand.
Working through your list...
- Heads - I priced mine at £70 the pair with valves. I've still got them. I'm open to offers but never had any enquiries at any price and no offers.
- Barrels - I sold mine with pistons but can't remember how much - probably around the £100 mark I think.
- Engine cases - I've still got most of them and have not had any enquiries apart from for the little pickup cover on the left hand side.
- Drive shaft - Not worth a lot as anyone going to the expense of rebuilding the motor will most probably want a new one unless it's absolutely mint.
- Water pump/housing - Probably worth £15 to £20. I sold mine for less as it was a bit grubby but usable.
- Oil pump - Still got mine. No takers as generally if the oil pump is knackered, so is the rest of the motor.
- Clutch drum - Probably worth around £45 if it's not ridged and doesn't rattle at all. I had a couple of enquiries on mine.
Be prepared for a long wait to sell some of the engine bits as these bikes are so boringly reliable there isn't a great demand.
It may be easier to sell the complete motor to someone who wants to put it into a 650 Bros/Hawk. I know your gearbox is noisy but perhaps the original Hawk/Bros 650 gearbox can be adapted to fit into the XRV750 casings.
