Still, with relatively good but mostly discharged battery she actually started and I was able to ride her down the block before realizing she was leaking copious amounts of gasoline through the carbs, which had become sticky due to the months of non-use. My mechanic, who has been working for the local Yamaha shop for decades, and is probably 1 of the best Yamaha mechanics in the south, told me that the carb service would cost approx $500. I will sell this sweet machine, which is in exceptionally fine condition, save for the need of carb cleaning, for $6,500. OBO, but only to someone who will promise to have it transported to the local Yamaha dealership (I'll provide phone number and address of shop when needed) where it can be professionally repaired, prior to attempting to ride it (due to the danger posed by leaking gasoline the instant the engine is cranked.) Phone me at for details/appt. Able to respond ONLY to phone calls or reply to voicemail messages which contain a callback phone number. -Louis
