Clean title, ready to transfer. Inspection good until July 2012. Shed kept, it's not 100% sealed like a garage but it stays cool, out of the sun and completely dry which are the most important things to worry about. Cosmetically the bike looks OK, you can tell it's 10 years old and you're not gonna win any fashion shows but it's not trashed by a long shot. Very little, if any rust on the rims and frame.
I believe I am the third owner, I got the bike at 1950 miles. From what I've gathered from breif chat with the guy that sold it to me, the first owner put the 1950 miles on it and stopped using it, and probably sold it to get rid of it likely cheap to the guy who sold it to me who probably fixed it up a bit.
The bike is all stock except the sprockets and tires, At 8500 miles the bike received a whole new drive system. 14/47 sprockets from JT, a nice new DID O-ring chain - along with a set of TW203/204 street tires complete with new tubes. PO claims to have put a new battery in before he sold it to me, that was June '10 so the battery should be only a little over a year old now. I checked the fluid levels yesterday and after not checking for a year, the levels were still perfect on every one right between the lines!
Runs perfectly fine, I've not had one problem since I got the bike and I never run it hard or red-line it, always run it nice and easy until fully warm etc., I also never ride the bike in temperatures above 80-85 degrees, becaquse it seems to get too hot. I always treat everything I own with ultimate care because I can't afford for stuff to break.
Maintanence:
-Valves: Adjusted when I first got it at 1950, then at 7500 miles, and finally just recently at 11,100 miles. Always just a hair off spec, nothing major.
-Chain: The new O-ring chain has not needed even one adjustment after 5,500 miles, perfectly within spec.
Oil: Changed when I got it cause I wanted to make sure I was running "the good stuff" and then at 5000 miles, and the last change was 8500 miles where I changed it to 20-50 for spring/summmer temps. I always use the good 10$/QT MC specific oil so the bike should be as happy as can be. I changed the filter at 5000 miles, cleaned and re-used at 8500 since it looked OK. Latest change at 11,300 miles and now another at 13,500 miles back to 10-40 for the winter.
The only problem I am aware of is the floats in the carb are screwed up, if you leave the tank turned on it will flood them and leak within 30 seconds. The whole thing could probably use a good rebuild for somebody that knows how, but other than it leaking it functions just fine - I've never had any problems with it over-filling while the bike is running or anything like that. Idles fine, accels fine and cruises fine with no problem.
There's also a really tiny dent in the tank. No idea what happened since it was done by a PO, but it's only about the size of a dime so you won't ever even notice.
Offers, questions? please do feel free to post or PM! Test rides are welcome to those with serious interest in buying. I have nothing to hide!
