smilinjack 0 Posted August 7, 2016 I've got the bike in decent order but I'm very drawn to the Z1000SX. Nowhere to keep another bike so I have to get rid of one. So, what would you suggest is the best medium to use to sell a high mileage, well used but rock solid bike? It's done 71,000, got a dent in the tank from a swinging gate, needs a chain but new tyres, recent service, will have a full mot. Suggestions please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted August 7, 2016 How much ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted August 7, 2016 See if I can get £1500 for it. No particular rush to sell, can use it for a while longer, and squeeze a bit more value from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted August 23, 2016 Chap arranged to collect it on Saturday through Gumtree, bet you know what didn't happen next!! Fucm, It's just passed another mot, taxed it, I'll get loads more use out of it yet. Might be able to get it round the clock, only goes up to 99,999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcarper 0 Posted August 23, 2016 ffs theres some arseoles out there. its a great engine and well maintained will rack up the miles no problem m8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted August 23, 2016 My thoughts exactly. Took the long way round to the test station this morning, and that power! Kinda nice to see it back on the drive TBH, might go to my job in Lincoln on it tomorrow. Been out on my Speedy today, fun bike but that ZZR completely owns it for comfort, obviously.

smilinjack 0 Posted August 24, 2016 Just come in from Lincoln, bike went great. Looks like fuel economy is where it should be, will fill up tonight maybe and I will know. I put some fuel treatment in to try & get some of the ethanol gum out of the carbs, seems to be working. And the clonking chain has freed up-sprayed it with brake cleaner and left overnight. Things seem to work out in the end eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dick65 0 Posted August 24, 2016 Nice one Alan - drop of Redex every other tankfull works a treat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted August 26, 2016 Well, I got 190 miles out of that tank, it's doing around 48 mpg despite a lot of idling and faffing about, so it's official-back to normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted September 23, 2016 Didn't sell it, thank ****. Done over 1,000 miles on it since the ad, goes so well. Storming thing to use on the motorways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
