I bought a used 2012 zx10r, look the look of the bike and the feel of it. Bike seemed to run fine when I was looking it over, no knocking or anything to cause concerns. I got home, installed an M4 slip on pipe and took it down the road, less than 5 miles down the road the bike started knocking and cut off. It cranks back up fine but still knocking, took it to a mechanic who said it sounds like the big end of the connecting rod and that I need an engine rebuild.
So now I am looking for either a replacement engine or options for the rebuild, trying to find the least expensive option. I am trying to make the best out of the situation and hope the person who sold me the bike get's what they deserve.
