How many miles, whats wrong with the bike for 1500 ???

1500! DAMN that's a fuck'n outstanding price!? not to be rude... but what's wrong with it?! I got mine in EARLY 06 for 4999 (+a 500 Arai helmet thrown int) and THAT was a steal.

I LOVE my bike... it's got all the zip I need... I've got a 4* ignition advance, Full system muzzy exhuast, jet kit, K&N, and went -1T in the front and +2 in the rear... fucker will give any new model 600 a run for it's money(usually take it)from a rolling start to 100... (I'm horrible at launches... but I'm no dragster)

The carbs SHOULDN'T give you any issues... I lived in AK and never had a problem with cold starts...

you will notice under 25... you'll want to use the clutch to smooth out the throttle responce as it's extreemly jerky...

if you have the stock dunslops on there... GET RID OF THEM... they'er HORRIBLE!

replace the headlights with either PIAA bulbs or HID... makes a big diffrence... but either way... you'll LOVE the dual lows and highs... (on coming people you flash will hate you)

what I love about my bike is it's all day comfort... I'm still a very new rider but I pulled 4hr trips EASY... with just a little soreness in my back and wrists...

Thats definitely a sweet deal man. Nice find.

The guy that had it laid it down and it scared him up pretty good. He said he wanted it out of his garage. I had someone check it out for me. He rode it and said all was fine, just cosmedics. At that price I couldn't say no.

Mr Lefty · 04-04-2008, 11:57 PM
