Hi everyone!
Im Jae, from philly. Just bought a used x18, it needs some work but i got it for a good price so i dont mind spending a lil to fix it up.
I also ride a cbr600rr and look to race supersports eventually. i was hit by a car on my 2010 ninja (which was totaled) and i tore my achilles tendon along w fractured ribs, back, collapsed lung and lacerated spleen... everything healed up but the achilles, it got infected after the first repair and had to be removed and rebuilt using a skin flap: skin muscle and fat from a donor site on my thigh used to form a new tendon. so i am finally walking and riding again and was going to do superbike school this summer but my strength isnt up to par to learn to hold a 600 or 1000cc bike on my knee... still rehabbing my left leg... so after buying my son a 50cc p bike i decided to join him at the track and race a 110 while i finish physical therapy.
my x18 has a great frame and the engine sounds strong, prob needs an oil change, but starts and runs pretty well. i do need side and tail fairings, nose and tank are good. also have some rust on the gear shift lever and rear break lever so i am replacing them first as its a bit tuff to shift and to get into neutral. also prob just removing instrument cluster or replacing cuz the speedo doesnt work, but temp and gear ind are working. key doesnt work and neither does electric start, but it starts right up w a couple kicks. the batt is dead but i may just remove that anyway since my main objective is to race it... i dont need lights or blinkers...
i am also looking to replace the levers and clutch cable... can someone tell me what the second cable w the plug on the clutch lever is for? im new at this
looking forward to learning, rebuilding and most important racing!
thanks for having me
