So I sold my scooter with the intentions of buying this better one a guy had. It has a bbk on it and a few other upgrades, runs very well I drove it a couple weeks ago. Well AFTER I sold mine he tells me he can't sell his now. So now I don't have any wheels. A local guy has one that is in great shape but it needs crank bearings I think that's what he said. He wants 200$ for it. Should I go for it. Is that an easy fix?

I went ahead and gave him 400. It's got an authentic keihen carb on it. I only test drive it for a couple mins but it runs like a champ. But when I stopped it died. But the idle screw is all the way out so I'll fix it tomorrow. A 2013 with 517 on the odometer. It's a great deal I think

Damn. You need to learn to barter. You could have had $50 to $100 extra to buy more parts and accessories.

With 517k on the odometer..why does it need crank bearings already? Did he run it with the shipping oil it came with? Did he ever do an oil change or check and add oil? Check the oil level and tell us what ya find..because if he ran it low..or without oil..more than the crank bearings wore. NOT trying to bust your bubble..only trying to give you a heads up..just in case.  |

Lol that's not the one that needs the bearings. That was a different one. And he really wasn't budging off the price. He wanted 450. I talked him down to 400. Plus he had Lou gherigs disease so I felt kinda bad for him. He was a good man. Plus he said for 10$ worth of smoke he would put a bbk on it for me lol. He had another one with 100cc bbk he put on but that one wasn't for sale. Boy was that thing fast tho.. Wow

Sounds a good buy.
You should always offer them less, you never know they might say ok!

So you sold your scoot that had issues to buy another one with issues? Lol it doesn't have issues. The idle screw is all the way out. That's all. And apparently my old scoot was a real pos . cause this one has sooooo much more power and top speed. I just think my old one was junk |
