[QUOTE="jojofuller, post: 158303, member: 1622"] Doesn't matter. That bike is gone. I fell in love with that bike at first site. Bike belonged to seller's son who is military mechanic and deployed. Seller was moving and had no place to keep bike. Let "friend" store it for him and "friend" took advantage and rode bike until gas ran out. Inexperienced "friend" mixed fuel incorrectly and filled the tank. When I went to see bike it would not run. It would start and it white smoked like a freight train, sputter for about 10 seconds then die. Plug would be fouled at that point. I WASN'T WILLING TO PUT MONEY DOWN WHEN IT WOULDN'T RUN. He apologized for my wasted time and said he would call me when he got it fixed and that we would work it out for my trouble. I agreed and left because it seemed like he was an idiot and was taken advantage of by his "friend". Next day he told me "friend" was having carb cleaned and rebuilt by bike tech, since son is deployed, and that bike was mine and he would call me so I could hear it run before we talked about the sale and logistics. Last night I got a text from him saying a guy came by to look at it and the bike did the same thing. The guy tinkered with it and offered him $1200....so he sold it to him. He was an idiot...a lowdown idiot. Gone! [/QUOTE]
