Volusia 800 engine

05-10-2008, 08:20 PM

Attention all my KawaNOW ninnies!!!

El Nico needs a replacement engine for Judi's 2001 Volusia 800.

It threw a rod..... kaputski.

Seriously, any help would be appreciated, the cheaper the better... rebuilding the current engine is too expensive!!

I'd like to find a wrecked Volusia with a good engine!!

I checked my local Craigslist for you. There's a few Vols for sale, but nobody trying to sell an engine.

I'll see what I can dig up today Nico...most of my contacts are east coast, but it still might save money even with shipping. Do you want a particular mileage range ???

Yea, it has to get at least 60 miles per gallon!!

I could have swore that I posted a reply here. Was the first one after you posted the thread but it is gone?!?!? Sorry to hear about the engine, any idea what caused it blow a rod?

None whatsoever....... mechanic said it was a freak thing.... only has 30,000 miles on it..... started making noise as Judi was riding it.... she pulled over and there was a hole the size of a half dollar on the front of the case! Oil all over. ??????

That sux. Never heard of a Suzi 805 going out like this before. Good luck finding an engine.
