Berto Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) So I'm wanting to upgrade to a Yamaha Rhino (or similar UTV, Rzr?). Both are planned to go this year (I was going to wait on the GP1200 till fall but oh well, if it goes it goes!) 1998 GP1200 price $2500 obo - Rebuilt motor by previous owner, higher compression pistons, requires 93 octane. - aftermarket ride plate - Aftermarket water inlet grate - I have disconnected the oil pump and am running pre-mix, but it can be hooked back up if you want. - Primer bulb installed in the factory choke location for perfect startability - In really good condition for its age. Has a few scuffs but the plastic is not faded. - Yamaha factory cover. - When I bought it the previous owner neglected to tell me the jet pump was on its way out, I installed a new (used) one. - Nu Jet impeller - Bonus, clear title. - I only used approved 2-stroke oil. - Has a shudder at just over idle (only notice it in idle zones), I've been told its normal for 2 strokes. - Newer Sparkplugs. NGK's. - Could probably use a new battery. I've had this up to an indicated 70mph on clear water. Do your research this is a bad-a machine. its a 1200CC triple cylinder 2-stroke, you can't get these anymore. Adjustable sponsoons for cornering. It is an absolute blast. includes the trailer, it has newer tires and bearing buddies. The 2003 Suzuki LTZ400 ($2100). This has been an awesome machine. I've had it for 3 years now and it has NEVER left me stranded in the woods. All my friends with other bikes have had all kinds of problems but thing thing is rock solid. Some of the plastic attachment points are broken but that was from the previous owner. Just a few months ago I cracked the head light but I made an HID system that mounts on the bumper. The ballasts and lights are designed to be attached by 4 bolts, so I remove them when i'm not going to be riding at night. I would be willing to drop the price $100 to sell it without the HIDs. - Good tires, Have new fronts it will go with (unmounted) - Aftermarket frame and swing arm protector. - Factory suzuki 6-pack rack - Aftermarket front bumper - Hand guards, the good stuff with the metal support, not the ones that flap around. - New rear caliper, w/parking brake delete. - Replaced the battery with a Sealed AFM battery a year ago, still going strong. - Recently replaced the front wheel bearings and greased the rear ones. - Yoshimura slip-on pipe - Nerf Bars Thats all I can remember now. Oh yeah, it has a clear title as well. A lot of ATV's now a days thats hard to find. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/ATV/DSC00037.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/ATV/DSC03036.jpg http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/Black%20Mountain%202008/?action=view¤t=BertoHillClimb.mp4 If you are 'seriously' interested I can bring either or both to Columbus, and make an excuse to see some friends but it would require a pretty fair level of commitment. I can take more detailed pictures. I haven't gotten the jetski from storage yet but I can get some close ups of it too. Some of you newer guys may not know me but i'm legit and take care of my stuff.

Berto Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Pulled the cover off the ski and snapped some pics. It was raining and wet out so mind that. http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/ATV/Jetski/ battery wasn't hooked up, but the digital display works.

Berto Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Forgot to add I have the hose kit for running it out of the water off of your spigot. This is going on Craigslist today for $2900 locally. IF you're eyeballing the ski let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sweet, Good to meet you Paul hope the ski is as good to you as it was for me. I'm going to miss that damn thing. Thanks for being understanding and patient on my flat tire. I hate being late but we did what we had to do! The ATV is still for sale, but not as urgent not willing to waver on the price. I'll just keep it until i get the side by side, or maybe i'll even keep it. PS Paul hope that leg gets better but you gotta upgrade the cane, brah.
