Hi all - I’m looking at a Honda Reflex on Craigslist with 6000 miles, a new fuel pump, fuel filter and air filter, but “need head gasket”. I have not yet seen it in person.
I am very inexperienced when it comes to motorcycle engines but it seems odd to me that a Honda engine with 6K miles would have a bad head gasket. What are the odds that it really it has a bad head gasket rather than some other problem that has been misdiagnosed as a bad head gasket? If it is a bad head gasket, how big of a job is it to replace one? I’d probably have a mechanic do it rather than doing it myself.
Thanks!
