Hellow
I am about to buy parts from a 620 ie dark of the year 2003.
Everything is present except a vital part: " the frame"
Does anybody knows which frames can be used for these parts??
Because i want to buy one from Ebay.
I hope somebody can help!!
Thanxx guys
So you're about to buy *all* of a bike except the frame?
Why would you do that?
But basically any DSS, 2 valve Mosnter frame from 2001 until the advent of the 696 should work. The frames from the Single sided swing arm (S2R 800 and 1000) 2v monsters would probably work as well - I'm just not as sure of the differences.
Thanks Yuu for the quick and helpfull reply!
I saw these parts on internet.
The price of the whole bunch is 1500 euro, and they seemed to be in a good condition.
I hope to find a frame on Ebay for about 500 euro's.
With probably some unexpected expenses i hope to have a monster from 2003 for around
2200 euro's.

I'd recommend you try to find a whole one. I think it would be possible to find a 620 that is not a collection of parts, for around the same price. Though probably it will be a bit more... But I don't think buying the parts will be a cash saver in the big picture. A collection of parts of unknow completeness and condition is usually a good way to sink a lot of extra, unexpected cash into this project.
One or two missing bits cancost a lot, depending on what they are. Then you'll need tools stands the factory tech manual and various other things to assemble it.
Also I've got to assume that the parts are from a crashed bike - so you've no way to know the actual condition.
I'm all for a project, for being a project. But if you're looking for a bike and not a time and money sink, then I'd advise a different tactic
My biggest concern is that it s incomplete or that the block doesn't runs well.
But i ve already a little experience on tinkering with a 620 i.e. from 2002.
I completely had the bike apart, even the shock absorber the rear an front pedals from the side hanldes. The fork was apart, both axles i had out all 3 of the brake calipers just a few things, but i can go on and on. The whole frame was stripped.
At first i only wanted to give the engine-block a new paintlayer. It was really damaged from sea salt. But when i had the bike apart a saw more an more things to do. So i went a bit crazy on it i guess, luckily i am almost finished now, i believe there isn t a bolt or nut i haven t touched.
I believe i have a good picture from all the parts. And when i saw the picture from disassmbled 620 dark i.e. 2003 parts it seemed to be a piece of cake.
I am lucky to have a father with an interest in bikes, he has al the tools i need.
I am still thinking about buying the whole bunch, i hope it goes according plan ;D,
