I found a 2003 RX-1 that blew a ROD. for a pretty good price,just wondering how much it would be to fix it,or is it even worth it.He wants $2000 for it and it does have some extra's,new ripsaw,team secondary,and a thundershift clutch kit.Any help would be greatly appreciative.Thanks

Welcome to the site! Look around, you may be able to find someone needing to get rid of one. ya can find running ones for 25 to 3 grand these days.

It would be cheaper to buy one thats already running,the cost to repair that would be great.

I'd pass...you could get a running 03 for around 3-4k.

No way. Saw one around 3500, mint shape, with a Boivin suspension. It runs too.

Thanks for the reply's guys..I guess i will just look for something else.I just figure's it might be a cheap way to go 4stroke.

A "thrown rod" could have resulted in damage to the head/valve train, cylinder, base casting, crankshaft, piston plus all the labor to diassemble, inspect, measure, clean and rebuild. You could end up dropping over $2000 in new parts to get the sled running. You would be MUCH better off following the advice of previous posts and keep looking. A thrown connecting rod could mean that the sled was run very very hard/abused which means other areas of the sled will need careful inspaection/rebuilding.......more $$. Keep looking.
