Sold... <24 hours, superb
If its not shifted by Fri, it will be on the worlds favourite auction shite.
Has just under a years MOT, 5 months tax, new-ish rear tyre <1500 miles.
New rear shoes.
New fork oil seals.
I cannot find the MOT sheet, but can provide doc ref to look up online.
It is a dog, no doubt about it. Clocks were damaged in a drop prior to my ownership. Has crash bars but clocks were smashed but both still work, rev gauge is covered in gaffer tape -standard.
The right indicator light is unique, its broken off the main clock piece but has a yellow plastic thing over it, so you can easily see it. If you know me, you know it is likely to never have bothered me.
Has Renthals, gives you that true dickhead look and feel with no actual power behind you to back it up.
Exhaust has literally started blowing from near the head, its a stainless set so assume gasket. I've not attempted to fix, been present for 50 miles now.
Clutch lever is something else... the adjuster/bit it screws into may be broken, its been bodged with washers so again, something to look at, at minimal costs I reckon £15 should resolve everything there.
Switch gear moves, doesn't bother me, but then again nothing really does.
All honesty, work horse, it will run consistently. I've not had any horrible noises, any unwillingness from it. It is definitely not suited to my commute, worse so than my old Varadero which is a shame. 140-150 before reserve, 30 on reserve so roughly 170 to a tank, never had to put more than £15 in, so its obviously not that low on fuel even after that.
Being honest, it has an Avon on the front, a Roadrider none the less. Hasn't bothered me, but if you have a phobia of these deathsliders I'd factor in a new front Rear is a ContiGo, remarkably stable during the crap weather we have had.
I have V5 in my name, 2 keys, 52 plate, Blue, battered and bruised, small dents in tank, scuffs on engine bars, ghetto ass 500 twin engine. Needs choke for about 1.5>2 miles then idles find off, same with my old GS500.
This is ideal for people who just want a piece of shit they can roll around on with no worries if they spill on ice or anything, cheap no frills working reliable bike.
Reason, motorway journeys are becoming somewhat dire, have purchased CBR1100XX to deal with it.
Pictures will follow, until then bike is essentially a blue ER5 in worse condition than standard, with dirt and dents in places. Nuff said.
I do have VERY limited access to internets.. so to arrange anything, text is probably best, 07568550115
It is in Maidstone, Kent. Close to ME18 postcode. I really don't want to have to deliver it at £250... so collection only I'm afraid, any time, day or night. Obviously sold as seen and the usual gubbins. |
