Any feedback about how much more might need invested in this?
There's something fishy going on- other than it needs a new piston it runs great? So the other piston is fine?
I would say it could be something small and stupid (valves need adjusted) but plan on replacing the motor.

I am selling a 2005 Suzuki GS500F motorcycle. The motorcycle is in great condition. Right before winter i had put a new rear tire on, a brand new battery, and a brand new clutch. I have never wrecked or dropped the bike. The bike has had routine tune ups and oil changes every 1,000 miles. The bike had one minor problem right before winter and i have not had the money to fix it. I took it to a shop and paid for the mechanic to diagnose the problem and the only thing that it needs is a new piston which is only about $281. Other than that the bike runs perfect and can work great as a starter. I have added some photos as well. I can be reached by phone, text, or email and im available most of the time. 614-378-7865 or napplepieman69 @gmail.com. Price is $1500.00 or best offer. will go fast sold my best friends bike last week for him so please inquire as soon as you can. thanks have a great day. More pics available upon request.
I saw we all flag it on CL as prohibited or something.
The guy is a fraud and he is trying to screw unsuspecting noobs. An oil change every 1000 miles? uhuh. Right "BEFORE" storing it for winter, he put in a new battery, new tire and a new clutch.. a clutch at 14K on a well taken care of gs with 14K miles? Yeah right. It runs perfect.. it is so great.. except one of the only two pistons in the engine will need to be replaced.. but STILL.. the bike runs "GREAT". I hope he gets whats coming to him pretty soon. He posted his email and phone number in the ad. Anyone have any funny ideas?
