Not visited this site for years!! has changed a bit!
Sadly I'm in the position where I might need to sell my beloved ZXR400L5, and I'm looking for some advice on what to ask.
The bike is in a rather unusual condition:
- It's a 1995 bike (N-reg).
- Has been sat for 3-4years, carbs were drained, battery removed and kept charged. It's been stored under cover in a reasonably warm and dry garage.
- Mileage is high: 57,000miles (UK model).
- Head gasket was done at 15, & 30 thousand miles, head was skimmed by 14Thou at 40,000 miles to correct the warp that caused the head gaskets to fail (no damage was done when these events happened).
- Clutch is worn, it's the original - was starting to slip at higher revs when I last used it.
- Camchain (replaced at around 20K IIRC), has also started to make a lot of noise, a new tensioner would correct this in the short term (it's on it's 2nd).
- Exhaust is a Scorpion race system with (battered) Remus end can.
- Rear shock is a 2nd hand OE one that has roughly 15K on it (I think).
- If it makes any difference - it was dynoed at 60.5bhp prior to the head skim.
- Its wearing '94 plastics with the stickers removed - but I have the original plastics and a 2nd set of race style ones as well. There's only one tank!
- Pillion seat has been replaced with a cowl mounted on a pillion set base (I have the actual seat, and a Renntech grabrail).
And the dyno chart (against an NC30 for reference).
) Also because of the high mileage if you dont get the price you want then do the small repairs, ie camchain tensioner and break it apart, that way the mileage shouldnt be a concern just your loevely dyno results. Just a thought
