I couldn't help it...
#7

Personally I would have gone for this one on ebay......

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-51-YAMAHA...6859498%26


....ya...its about 400 bucks more, but you could be putting that into your bike very shortly when you think about it.


Your tyres are nearly shot (£170) and if that rattle is the camchain (£50) and if you haven't the ability to do it yourself, then 4-5 hours labour in a garage could cost you another £200-£300. And you dunno if the tensioner is ok either. Mine was goosed and costed me another £120 onto that.


If your bike had nothing to be done to it, then I would have classed it as a real bargain at £970. But it mightn't be so until you see were you stand with that camchain and tensioner. I had to do my camchain and tensioner plus another few things, which made my (what I thought was a) bargain purchase, not such a bargain afterwards and a bit of a disappointment money wise.


Best of luck with it anyway. Not trying to rain on your parade, but just making people aware that they need to think carefully when they see a "bargain".
