tufftom4 Posted February 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 11, 2011 This is the new to me VR that I got for 700$ The carbs need to be cleaned but runs good with the choke partially on. It has some rash on the fairing from the guy dropping it in the garage but everything works on the bike the only problem I have is that it is in Kilometers not US standards, oh and it has an oil leak and needs the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder rebuilt from sitting so long. It only has 71,000 km on it witch is only about 44,000 miles so I think I did good. And I need to know how to take off the damn stickers on the fake gas tank cover....

MiCarl Posted February 11, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2011 Looks like you got a deal. You can leave it in Kms, or scrounge up a U.S. cluster. A heat gun or the wife's blow dryer should help get the stickers off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted February 12, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 12, 2011 not to rain on your parade but could it be 177,000 km? This things only have 5 digits right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted February 12, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 12, 2011 Congrats, looks like a great Deal and it's a nice Bike If you decide to change the km-Cluster to mls Instruments , i'd gladly take it off your Hands, Especially if the Battery Warning Circuit is not flashing constantly. Mine has a burned off Chip inside.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
