Hi. Just wondering if any of you members are bike mechanics,reason being i am looking at a klr 650 on ebay that has a siezed engine and was wondering how much i would be looking at to rebuild it ,any help would be appreciated thanks.

Hey there,

Not knowing the bike specifics (i.e. the reason why the engine seized) year model, overall bike condition and kms etc, I can give you a rough estimate of up to $1000 in labour and up to $2-3000 in parts.

I don't know how much this bike is going for on ebay but to give you a reference point you can pick up a brand new KLR650 for $8600 ride away with 2 years unlimited km warranty.

I hope this helps, good luck with your purchase.

no matter where you go there is always a idiot that will coff up the dough but luckely this time i am not that idiot

I would imagine if someone had the ability and the time to fix it themself, it might be a good buy for a grand

Totally agree, happy hunting
