  1. that thing being sold already is a blessing lolz
  2. no way I would pay even a grand for an old busted up, non-running bike... what a fucking headache that thing appears to be .... get back on the craigslist and try again my man
  3. the power curve is rather .... nice understatement of the year kind of nice
  4. Rather sure that's just glare, no problems with the exhaust at all to my knowledge.
  5. Yeah, it wasn't hard at all, but took us time because neither of us had experience fishing shims out or placing them back in the buckets. Oh and finding the correct shims after determining the sizes I needed was a pain.
  6. Yes, same tires as pictured. My uncle and I did the valve service. Not too bad of a job, but tedious and time consuming.
  7. uhh... I've been ignoring NN, I guess ... haha - grad school my man, trying to prioritize a lil bit

    got a friend looking for a first bike, I told him about this one - hard to beat for that purpose
  9. oh the beauties of cultural relativism....
  10. open to trade offers as well, as long as it interests me I suppose a cheaper bike + cash preferred but straight up ok as well no cash from me, I'm a poor grad student!
  11. still have the bike I tarped it for the winter and guess I didn't get enough oil on the chain so it will need replaced other than that she's just like the pictures in the first post got the itch to ride but I think I'm going back to a smaller/lighter bike - was more fun for me
  12. I'm pretty shocked that I haven't got much interest yet. Not a single email from craigslist, only 1 lowball offer on zrxoa. Shitty market I guess.
  13. Thank you, I have already done so. I also posted it $200 bucks higher there in some slight preparation for the lower offers. I am pretty easy to work with, though, and will take a reasonable offer when it comes along.
  14. Looks and runs excellent. Good: Runs great, all stock except for Yoshi slip on system. Lights/signals all work. Shifts good, clutch is good. Tires good. New rear sprocket, rear wheel bearings and battery this spring. Valve adjustment and oil/filter change (full synthetic Rotella) only 1k miles ago. No mechanical problems whatsoever to my knowledge. Starts up first try every time. Bad: Tear in the seat that I have covered with clear tape. Brake lever end is snapped off (been that way since I got it, not a big deal). Clear coat on wheels isn't very good. Some small dings and nicks here and there as would be expected with 46k - not perfect but looks damn good from a few feet away. No mechanical problems whatsoever to my knowledge. (bike is at 3k RPM because it was just started with choke on, it doesn't idle there of course) Reason for sale: Start grad school next week. Asking $3300 OBO - located in NE Ohio and willing to travel for proper gas money.
  15. I doubt anyone plans on curling a bike
  16. it functions pretty much fine until I try to turn my palm all the way facing myself .... like today I was trying to get my change from a cashier and I couldn't get my left hand level enough to accept coins without dropping my shoulder very awkwardly, lol trying to avoid a doctor's visit, still paying for my last one - I had to get my left knee checked out and an MRI done after a soccer injury late last summer
  17. thanks guys I'm healin' up .... knee is completely scabbed over now .... only thing that bothers me is the continued pain in my wrist but I think I just sprained it real good... new helmet? eh, I was hoping to avoid that honestly based on the very light paint scrape that it has, but I could buy another if I had to .... as soon as I save up extra cash I guess
  18. oh ya I'm good man, just a little sore still .... but nothing major I don't think. thanks again
  19. Monsters are so effin' sexay
  20. holy shit, I don't think from my fingertips to my elbow it is 15"
  21. My ZRX is at 45,000 ...... 20k miles shouldn't concern people that much.....
  22. man that ankle looks like it hurt good luck with recovery
