EXUP Valve seized, if I have to take the exhaust off to fix/replace it all the studs will snap, to get at them properly the engine will probably have to come out, EXUP cables gone, EXUP pulley gone. The servo still sounds like its working tho. Slight oil leak, probably from the front sprocket oil seal but im too frightened to take the cover off to have a look in case I find something even worse. Tape on the seat hiding a split.
Once ive done all of the above it will still be worth less than I paid for it in my opinion.
Its too tatty for me, even the screw heads under the seat are rusty. By the time ive got it looking anything like nice it will have cost way, way more than its worth..
I'm going to take off the full luggage and sell separately. Which is why I need a set of rear indicators and grab handles.
Shame coz I rode it for the first time since i bought it 3 months ago yesterday and I love they way it goes and handles.
It should sell ok on the 'Bay, its low mileage (26K) with lots of history, hugger, adjustable pegs, heated grips, good tyres and C+S, loud can, 11 months MOT, belly pan, dyno charts to prove 131 RWHP (ok so it was a few years ago), pyramid flip screen, its got a gear position indicator but I unwired it yesterday as it didn't seem to be working properly.
I just want it gone now so i can buy a nice one.
I should have the courage to walk away from a sale if I'm not 100% sure, but he was a nice guy and I sort of convinced myself that it would be ok, what a dick!
