What would be an average repair estimate for a kawasaki motorcycle?

i am looking to buy a 2005 Kawasaki zx6r, but it has a fair amount of damage to it and would like an estimate of repairs before i make an offer. it definitely needs a new clutch handle and cables (hopefully not new clutch plates), this is my main concern. it also has some scrapes and scratches on the front plastics that don't necessarily need to be replaced. i know more details would help but a base price would help me|||You are looking at about $120 for a new clutch cable and lever being installed and another $300 for the clutch plates to be replaced. It shouldn't be much more than $400 for the parts and labor unless you get ripped off.|||The cable is about $15, and the lever is about $10 from Motion Pro. (great company with a great reputation). Clymer manuals are about $30, and factory manuals are usually somewhere around $60 more or less. There are plenty of online sources of information though.





I recently replaced the entire clutch pack in my GSXR1000 with take off parts from a bike that was upgraded to a slipper clutch. That was under $100 including the factory gasket kit.





You can probably get the lever and cable repair done yourself for about $30. The steels and friction disks will depend on the price you pay for parts. Be sure to shop around. There are some great sources for inexpensive parts online.|||As others have posted, the repairs you inquired about are inexpensive. However, if the bike has been down, I would want to be ABSOLUTELY certain that the frame and forks are straight, before buying.
