This bike is in great shape. Will also consider trade for a small (250cc or so) dual sport bike in good shape.

 

Sure. This is just a cut and paste from my craigslist ad. There are pictures there, so follow the link in my original post if you want to see them ulness someone doesn't mind me using up some bandwidth here. I'm located in Wabasha, MN.

~18,750 miles
Tires have >95% wear left (PO had just put new tires on and a new battery)
Carbs have all been rebuilt
Petcock rebuilt
Tank treated for rust
Fresh oil and oil filter change

This bike is great fun! Perfect as a starter bike or just an all around fun bike. I bought it a couple years ago as a project bike and this winter I finally got around to working on it. It was in fine condition other than it ran a bit rough. Since rebuilding the carbs and petcock along with treating the tank for rust, she PURRS like a kitten! Barely push the starter button and the engine fires right up! It's got the usual minor surface rust you'd expect on a 24 year old bike.

I thought the fork seals were leaking so ordered new ones. Upon looking again, I don't think they are, so you'll get a pair of new, unused fork seals along with it. Also included is the Clymer service manual.

I hate to let it go. It's been great fun riding since the carbs were done, but I want to get a dual sport and I don't think the wife will go for having 3 bikes in the garage. I'm not looking to make a big profit on this bike, so I will let it go for $850/obo. Or possible trade for a small (250cc or so) dual sport in good condition.

 

Thanks Sno. Since I'm new here, I didn't want to just barge in and start chewing up disk space.
