How much does it cost to have a kawasaki 500cc motorcycle engine rebuilt by a certified mechanic?

Figure $70 per/h (at least) and put it their hands.


What's wrong with the engine?


If you don't know what's wrong, I'm SURE they do and it'll be at least 30 hours!





Post the symptoms, let's see where to go from there.|||Depends on what kind of specs you want it rebuilt to. For road use you should be able to get a rebuilt 500 cc engine for around $1500. If you're looking to use it for some kind of racing then you're looking at $3000 on up.|||As Candid said, you want to find out what the problem is before you go spending big bucks on a rebuild. A good mechanic will be able to make certain tests to determine what kind of shape the engine itself is in. You sure don't want to spend $1500 on a rebuild only to find you have a bad ignition coil or igniter.





If your engine really is shot, consider looking for a used on at a salvage yard. Not a "junk" yard, but a reputable salvage yard that will guarantee you get a decent engine. For a used engine you're probably looking at 1/3-1/2 the cost of a rebuild. Replacement Japanese engine parts are VERY expensive (I've priced them.)
