    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    i dont think the guy will call me back seeing as he thinks 1800 is a fair price for it. if he does and says 800 is okay ill have to go over there to check it out, i have family right by there so i could just stay for the weekend so it wont be purely just to go there and back, 5 hour drive...

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    What do you think would be needed? Sorry, I just see a complete bike, it ran when it was stored but it has been 3 years, I figured getting that leak fixed, a carb rebuild and sync, a valve adjustment, and getting the brakes working would be mainly what it would need, he said he only rode it...

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    That parts kinda on him if he wants to be stubborn on the price. How can you tell the tank was repainted? Also since he's putting gas in it, if he messages me back I'll ask the condition on the inside of the tank.

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    well, i was able to call the seller and talk to him a bit about it, sure enough it does leak oil where the cylinder wall meets the crankcase, he has never done any valve adjustments, and its been in storage for about 3 years now, the turn signal flasher is broken as he described the turn signals...

    is this a gs1000 tank or something else?

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    No worries on labor, and the gs1000e says it's an 11.7 quarter mile, changing the sprockets and possibly doing an intake (not pods) could better that number, I'm not too worried about top speed as much as acceleration and I like the look of these bikes alot but hey you might definitely be right...

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    That's definitely possible, but if I can get it for well under 1k and if it needed to be parted out because of cost issues it is worth the money in parts?

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    Well the thing is in looking more for a project as it saves me money on the budget I'm on, if I can knock this guy down to a realistic price I think I'll take it

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    thats something i was worried about, if he knows that the tank alone is worth that much IF the inside is as clean as the outside, but it definitely needs work all around besides the tank

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    from the chain side you can either see a gas or oil residue on the motor and also the rear wheel yo cansee surface rust on the sprocket and the chain might need a replacement

    Appropriate pricing for a 79gs1000e

    So I'm thinking about upsizing to a larger GS as mine just doesn't do it for me, I have about 150psi compression and the bike runs smooth other than a bit of an issue low end, but to me it seems tired even though it has the right numbers to still want to pull well. That being said, there's a...

    What clutch kit to buy

    alright thanks cipher, and rp you are lucky, im guessing it could definitely be because this is my first bike and i never stalled out but im sure im not as smooth as can be, and i do like to put this bike through abuse alot, not so much lately because of the clutch but that will all be fixed...
