that's much better than what i got. bought a 97 16k mi, completely stock, and knocked over a few times for 2.1

if you don't have to do anything and you can buy it and ride it w/o any other work, that's a very good deal imo

 

pickin her up tomorrow final price 1500 its kinda beat up but mechanically its beautiful

that full yoshi exhaust is sooooooooo intoxicating

 

OK, from my experience... I bought my 97 F3 about 3 years ago for $1100...She was completely naked with no seat. I thought I got a good deal. But then problems started. The bike was sitting without movement for long time.. I dont know how much money I have already spent on fixes and I got towed 3 times already...and got stuck dunno how many times on highway....But I learned my lesson. NO WAY I AM BUYING A BIKE THAT WAS IN BAD HANDS!!! My buddies 1991 F2 has like 40k or more and she sounds beautiful and behaves well. He did like 10 track days and numerous long bike trips. And she looks way better than mine. Thats because the previous owner really took care of her.
I would prefer a bit more mileage or pay a bit more $$$ but leave the pain behind. What you pay is what you get....
Just my 2 cents....

 

Cruise around 7k and then listen to how the engine harmonizes with it while you accelerate. It's like listening to angels sing.

 

Wooo so i was riding all day and i loveee it. Shes preety beat up but i think i got a good deal the only thing that ive noticed is that i think the spring in the shifter is broken. The bike shifts fine but you kind of have to reset the shifter after you shift because it doesnt come back down. Im not really worried and its completely rideable as is. I plan on running some seafoam when i get home ive had good luck with the stuff on my tacoma

 

What what what???? Sorry cant hear uuu. LOLOL
I soldered the wires. It holds nice and tight..Je je. I see u did the same. Some extra electrical tape wont harm. Just extra safety, cause I mostly ride without my tail fairings (not because I like it....just my bike is as moody as my wife LOL))

 

LOL I did NONE. That's all shrink tubing. Electrical tape gets all melty in Chicago summers, especially right near that hot R\R. Now go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

 

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . . don't fix it if it ain't broke. Seafoam can cause a LOT of headaches in bikes. It's a last resort sort of thing.

 

How would Seafoam cause alot of headaches? Are you saying a bike with problems could benefit from Seafoam and A bike running well would be harmful if Seafoam were used?? I am not seeing the logic here.

 

The classically used example is:

A bike with one or more worn piston rings has carbon built up around the rings, which helps maintain compression and vaccum, even though the seal is bad. Seafoam is applied, which proceeds to break down the carbon buildup and burn it off, which then exposes the worn seal, causing the cylinder to begin misfiring.

Based off that, you can probably come up with a number of other scenarios on your own. Sure, it didn't do any physical harm (per se), and it drew attention to the fact that the bike needed new rings, but the rider would much rather have a bike that "works," than a bike that needs the engine rebuilt. Yes, this is a rare, oddball scenario, but it's there to prove "don't fix it if it ain't broke."
