Title: 89' GS for sale
Post by: rnicholas on May 18, 2008, 07:15:54 PM
I'm selling my 89'.  It has 22k miles.  Has been upgraded to a k&n lunchbox and petcock mod has been done.  Tires are almost brand new metz and barely broken in.  Comes with f15 windshield, extra handlebar.  Center stand comes with but is not on bike. 

Bike is in good shape except for it isn't running well.  Will start for a sec but there is a carb mixture adjustment problem.  Not sure it will need parts to fix, I'm sure anyone who knows carbs can easily fix.

pics will follow soon.  Looking for $750 for the bike.  Tires were $300 new by themselves. 

edit: I'm in Memphis, 38016 zip.

Here are the pics.

Great deal, bike looks pretty clean for an '89.  If you were near Houston I would probably take it off your hands today.  I am sure you will find a buyer soon, summer and all.  Maybe advertise at some of the local MSF courses, craigslist?

Nice bike and reasonable price.  I've got 2 in the garage, otherwise looks tempting.


Good luck.

My buddy is interested in the bike, but is worried that the carb problems are more than carb problems.  He's afraid to buy the bike and it need more work than that.  He's an idiot.  Anyway, when is the last time it was running correctly?  How long has it been sitting?  How much work/cash/parts do you think it would take to get it back into good running condition?  I'm still workin on that other deal with the windshield if you still have it.
