It's dirty, it ran well last year. Went to start at the beginning of the season and it wouldn't turn (battery was fried). New battery still wouldn't crank. Tried to bump start and wouldn't turn.

So its fairly low mileage (less than 5k). Ran great last summer. Pictures available upon request. Here are all the issues.

1.) Seized
2.) One of the front fork seals is leaking
3.) Original tires (Comes with a slightly newer set)
4.) Dirty....... needs some serious cleaning
5.) Missing right mirror.

Comes with Haynes manual and self assembled tool for disassembly of the front forks.

Local Pickup Only (New Haven Area, CT)

Not sure what a fair price would be, make an offer of what you think its worth to you.

Forgot to mention; I have clean CT title for the bike.

What ... that doesn;t sound seized at all.
Take off the plugs, squirt some oil in the cyls, and put it in 6th gear and turn the back wheel.
It should spin over just fine.
Then get a new battery and spin it with that ...
It may not start, cos you have a yr old chemical soup pretending to be gasoline in the thing ...
Fresh gas and a carb clean probably needed.
Cool.

If I was a little closer to CT,  that could be interesting.  Can't find the time to do that PA to CT drive for a project.....

Any Pics??  May help with the sale.
