I figured I'd post this again.
Here's all the info... http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/285453129.html

you might get more "craig hits" if you listed it as a 1983......... XZ550RK , XZ 550RK, XZ 550 RK
a zx550rk is some sort of Kawasaki, I guess...
... also that's a "no longer available KG rack/backrest" ... not KC
I think you're a little low on the cosmetics..... 5 out of 10 makes it sound half bad...
say something like "average cosmetics for it's year, has minor spots of surface rust, oxidation on some alloy parts and has pits and chips in the paint"
talk up the fairing and vents everyone here covets so much
emphasize that it's road ready, nothing's missing... nothing's broke....seat isn't ripped...
adjustable front and rear suspension
wait a minute.... what am I doing writing your add copy? oh yeah, just trying to help........
thanks... can you put that all together for me! ;D
The bike is nice. A 7.5 to 8 on cosmetics and I'm not going by the picture. Been there, seen it. How it run I've no idea, dOn wasn't home when I stopped by.
That is a good lookin' bike.
thanks richie... maybe it is a 7.5
I guess I'm down playing it a little so when a buyer comes to look, they can't complain about the cosmetics and try to lowball me. If they think it's gonna be a 5 and they see a 7.5 roll out of the storage area they'll be happy. So many times I've gone to look at "mint" or "like new" bikes that turn out to be wrecks.
It runs WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than it looks! ;)
If only it was closer :(
Any truckers on this site that could sneak it on a load going to WI ;)

Hey Don did you happen to redo the starter clutch bolt fix already?...just curious.How close are you in minutes to Erie Pa. ?
I am not even 2 hours from you. But the wife would kill me...TWO OF THE SAME BIKE!!!!
I have no idea what the asking $$$ is ? did I miss something
jason -
Check his link to craigslist. He's asking $1500. Definitely not out of line for an 83 in great running & good cosmetic condition. Wish one like that would show up within 500 miles of me!

I haven't. I've ridden it about 300 miles since fixing it up. In that time I didn't hear any strange noises that would indicate a problem.
Is this a preventative measure vision owners do or do they fix it after there are symptoms?
According to mapquest we're about 6 hours and 7 mins away from each other. Im in troy ny 12180
The starter clutch usually starts with a clunking sound at idle that goes away as you rev. Typically starts to show around 25K miles so you are close. They are usually PMed when a stator goes, also a good time to check/tighten the balancer nut.
Looks good, really good 8)! You are only a few hours from me but I'm very vehicle heavy right now. My only comment on your ad is that I would not anyone ride it until they pay. Tell them after they pay take it up the street and if it's not as i said, bring it back as is and I'll happily refund your $$.
Shouldn't this be in the "Swap Shop" forum?
