Seller Description
Great bike wont leave you stranded. A vintage collectable that you can ride today ,and will only become more valuable, if you dont crash
Got it last year and replaced the rear tire, chain, seat cover, battery and also replaced standard size piston and rings. I`ve put only 92 miles on those new parts, mostly on dirt roads near where I live.
I`m old and cant ride as much as I would like to. I just replaced the front tire 10 miles ago.
Starts right up,every time, just 3-4 kicks after sitting all winter , 1-2 kicks if you ride every few weeks.
Stock gearing with original sprockets, 1st gear is very low, and great for trails, but leaves you wanting 6th gear on the highway. cruises ok at 55,plenty power to pull taller final gearing if you do more road than trail.
I replaced the piston and rings due to a leaking compression release. No bore was necessary. New piston clearance .0015 after honing. increased main jet size to 195 from the stock 190, tried 200 it was too rich. Still has the original foam air filter
FLAWS; 2 dents right side of the tanks, brake pedal stop bent , [see pics] front brake light switch un plugged ,possible defect in the switch OR more likely wrong brake handle leaves the switch in the "on" position.
Horn doesnt work with the button, sort of works but sounds weak when 6volts directly applied.Fenders and side covers were re painted by the previous owner , compare to the yellow on the tank in the pics.
Tank has some rust on the inside, not much. Excellent, considering I live in one of the wettest places in the country. Two dents on the right side , I ding on top that I couldnt get to show up in a pic. various other tiny nicks scratches ,etc.
pre bid inspection welcomed and encouraged , I live in Gold Bar wa 98251
