Yamaha Other description

Selling my 1980 Yamaha KZ650 which was converted into a cafe racer. I am selling because purchased the bike 2 years ago and it has been sitting in the corner of my garage for over a year not being used. It was converted before I purchased, but needed cosmetic work. Have clean NJ title in hand, The Odometer # is the add is not correct, it is not known, had to enter a # for ebay to allow listing

This is what I did:

Removed all the badging from the tank and side covers, painted the tank, front fender and side covers

Replaced the turn signals

Cleaned up the wiring

Painted the front tripple tree, painted the front brake reservoir and tachometer holder

Painted the exhaust as well

The good:

Clean lines

Nice paint

New tires

Dropped bars

Handlebar end mirrors

Airbox converted to K&N filters (told that jetting was done)

New seat with brake light embedded

Manual chain tightener

Kick stand and centerstand

Kerker 4 to 1 exhaust

New petcock (gravity type)

Newer chain

Brakes good

The bad:

Needs new battery (may have one by time it is sold, just need time to pick one up)

Use to start but takes a while, once running will start first/second time, carberators need to be cleaned and balanced. Should start just have to get a chance to try once I get new battery

Gas tank should be cleaned and coated

The previous owner installed the tachometer (don't know why), I purchased a speedo, but never got around to changing it out, speedo comes with the bike

Some scraping on the turn signal control (was planning to replace, just didn't get around to it)

Some scrapping on the lower part of engine

 

The bike is fun to ride, I just don't have time that is why I am selling, this bike should not sit, it deserves to be ridden.

The bike is being sold AS-IS, no warranty given or implied, it will also be listed locally and if sold I will be ending this auction

$250 non-refundable deposit due withing 24 hours of end of auction, rest paid in CASH when bike is picked up, will not release bike until fully paid!!!

Buyer is responsable for pickup and any shipping of bike!!!

Isle of Man TT 2012: Supersport TT Race 1 Results

Mon, 04 Jun 2012

Padett’s Honda racer Bruce Anstey won the first Monster Energy Supersport TT race of the 2012 Isle of Man TT by a mere 0.77 seconds over rider Cameron Donald. The race could have been even closer if Gary Johnson, another Honda rider, hadn’t run out of gas on the final lap. Before he ran out of fuel, Johnson was in the mix with Anstey and Donald with just 0.62 seconds separating the three riders.

Mythbusters to Compare Emissions of Cars Versus Motorcycles

Wed, 21 Sep 2011

Are motorcycles more environmentally friendly than cars? Ask most people that question and their initial response would probably be “yes” because motorcycles are more fuel efficient, and they release less CO2.  But is that the whole story? MythBusters‘ Jamie Hynerman and Adam Savage are going to find out on the Emmy-nominated show’s fall season premiere, Sept.

AMA Superbike: 2012 Daytona Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

Josh Hayes and Blake Young picked things up where they left off by trading wins at the 2012 season-opening AMA Superbike round at Daytona International Speedway. Reigning champion Hayes of Monster Energy Graves Yamaha took the first race handily, leading almost right from the start of the 15-lap race for the win. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Young, who finished second to Hayes in the 2011 AMA Superbike Championship, responded by taking the second race, but only by a slim 0.002-second margin.
