    For Sale: 1986 XJ 700. Clean title, low miles, all original.

    Its been a great bike to tinker with - but moving downtown and giving up the garage life - so looking for it to go to a good home.
    Currently located in Bucktown - Chicago IL area. Comes with spitfire windshield, original tool bag, Battery Tender brand lithium ion battery with plug-in, and Yamaha branded engine guards with highway pegs. Still has original side covers as well, and center stand. I also have a carburetor stand (homemade - out of PVC), carb cleaning bucket, new oil & filter, and just put new spark plugs on - all included, if you want them.
    Asking $900 OBO, local pickup only.

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Ehh. Average price to a touch low for this market here locally. If I weren’t looking at a 1100 very soon in same price range I’d be all over it being close-ish to me

    I agree. That's a lot of bike for that price. I might be biased, but I'd say double it!

    It would still require some time and energy to get the reliable bike most XJ owners know. I’ve been working on trying to get her to run smooth, always seems to have an issue with one cylinder not wanting to fire at idle. But end of the day - I’m 6’3”, and the seat height is a bit low for me. So I figure ask a tempting price for someone to come trailer her to a good home, will make me feel better than the very lowball offers I’ve been getting on Craigslist, who will probably just part the bike out and resell it.

    Same. Even just to flip, that is a deal.
    Selling xjs, you've heard of that, right Dave?
