    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This bike is about 100 miles from my home. Of course I am motivated by this .. but what does it sound like it needs to be fixed ?

I have contacted him for pics and further details ..



THIS BIKE JUST HAD ABOUT $1000 BUCKS WORTH OF WORK DONE
ON IT SUCH AS THE STATER, MAG, COIL,AND BATT.
THIS BIKE HAS ONLY 17000 ORGL. MILES ON IT AND RAN SWEET AS OF 3 MONS AGO.
HOW EVER IT HAS SAT WITHOUT BEING RAN. AND THE LAST BAD STORM WE HAD
IT GOT BLOWN OVER AND THE CLUCH SHIFTER CAME UP OUT OF THE TRANS(NOT ALL THE WAY)SHOULD BE AN EASY FIX.
DUE TO SCHOOL AND WORK I NO LONGER HAVE TIME FOR IT
IT ALSO HAS A CLEAN TITLE
BIKE JUST NEEDS A LITTLE TLC

I'd buy it.
But, if the guy just dropped a grand into it, why is he only asking 500?

I paid $550 for my 550 4 years ago. I've since put about 600 bucks and a few years into it in my spare time.

It's not where it should be even today.
 
Thanks .. I wondered that too .. assumed he was discounting for the condition.

Anyone else have 2 cents on this ?

The clutch actuation mechanism is on the right side engine cover. Sounds like something snagged on the clutch cable or the actuator arm and bent it upward when the bike fell over. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding replacement parts on the used market. Easy repair assuming my guess is correct.
 
Thanks .. I emailed him (called too) asking for photos of the damage that he mentioned.

That is gonna be a big heavy cruiser ..
