I have a friend that would sell me his 2005 Kawasaki KLR 650 for a cheap price. He did not really think about selling it but recently he mentioned he was in need of some money and I asked if he was going to get the bike back on the road. I then asked if he wanted to sell it. He is willing to sell it to me for $950.
We know it needs (should be replaced) the following
Tires
chain and sprocket kit w/ o ring
The problem is that we suspect the reason the bike is not running properly is due to the CDI box. I would like to have the entire bike looked at before I purchase. I have good relationship with my mechanic who agreed to take a look at the bike for under $100 even if he does have to take most of it apart. However, I want some more input before I take this step.
More info about the bike.
52,000 Miles (Yes I know lol)
Major service requirements every 20,000 miles
Has been sitting for 9-11 months
Amsoil oil changed every 4k miles
Front and rear suspension overhauled at 40,000
He is the original owner and has been riding 35 years +
Dropped twice
Comes with weatherproof luggage and Clymer Manual (Also with e-book version) and original service manual supplement.
Thanks, Any input is welcome especially if negative.
