No problems they say it runs great. Is this a good price?

Appears to be set up as a dual sport. Does it have a road legal title?
If no, and you want to ride it on the road too, that could be a problem.

I bought it today. Needs a good amount of work but it runs. Going to leakdown and compression test tomorrow and see the condition

Are you pulling our leg? Unless there is something really wrong, then that is looking like a great deal.

The frames for a fair amount of corrosion on it. Countershaft seal leaks after being replaced. I’m gonna try my best to fix it up.

No lol just wanted to see what you all thought, obviously it’s going to be a yes from the majority. The frames got a fair amount of corrosion on it. It’s crazy what this bike was hiding below the fenders and tank in terms of corrosion. Countershaft seal leaks after being replaced. I’m gonna try my best to fix it up.

What state are you in?
Did you replace the o-ring(s), collar and circlip? Replacing all four at the same time is the proper way to go.
Also, don't push the seal in too far like someone I know. :-)

I’ll take note of that and I live in central Massachusetts

OK. I am in AL. Somewhere in the stash is a 1990 frame.
Look up some old threads on that collar. It gets a groove worn in it.

Hmm.. if you were interested in selling maybe I would buy the frame off you if it’s in decent shape. Thanks

Well, I may not be able to dig it out too soon. I think shipping a frame would be extremely expensive in 2022.
I once bought a 1987 KDX200 from NY (I am in AL). The engine was bad (circlip had popped out). The guy took the bike apart and mailed me the various pieces. He even mailed the frame. Shipping has just gone up so much in the past few years!!

I looked on UPS and guessed the dimensions and weight. $289.34 for ground!
USPS said it was too big to mail.

Wow that is definitely more than the frame itself. However I am pretty insane and would possibly spend the money if the frame is in pretty good shape. How much for the frame? Thank you

If you lived within driving distance, I would just give it to you. :-) That is why I asked which state you were in. I have four spare "E" models non-running bikes besides that one and "the good one" (a '94).

I appreciate that. Would you be willing to ship out one that’s in good shape? If you had one that’s in good shape I would still be interested even if I have to pay for shipping. Definitely don’t want to create the extra work for you but I’d pay you for your time and an e model frame on top of the shipping. Mine doesn’t look like it can be saved or at least live up to my expectations. Thanks
