jbot Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 the one in texas is officially sold. dammit!buuuuut, i did make an offer to the guy in tremont and we've come to an agreement. now i just need to see the thing to finalize. he took it to a dealer to check out a sticky front brake when he took it out of storage (not sure what that is... i've had a lot of bikes and none of them had that) so I still haven't seen it. sigh.on the other hand, i did ride the 998 around weds, and that was fun.

Piston in the master cylinder was bad. A rebuild kit was pretty cheap and fixed it right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 welp, i went and picked it up today. i posted pics in the deals gap thread, i'm not the whorin type, so i won't be annoying and re-post here.the "brake" issue turned out to be a wheel mounted backwards. silly mistake, and the bike is in fantastic condition. i'm glad i waited patiently. it has all the nice things i would've done to the bike (sargeant seat, extra ugly windscreen, sporty touring tires and others) and rides great. sooooooooo comfortable coming from having a 998s as the only street bike for a while.

jbot Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 just a hair under 30K miles on the clock, picked up for 3700.it will need valves done sooner rather than later i think. i'm gonna keep my ears open and run crying to pauly if/when it makes noises.
