Hi I am Cory Ponzo 27 Year old Musician Mechanic in Sacramento area. I am Using this Ebay account after many years of not using it. I know ebay inside and out and the best way to a successful business is a happy customer. I want you to be happy actually I depend on it. So If you buy an Item Please Contact me asap for any reason If you are UN-happy. I will do everything I can! I sell many Items and cannot be an expert at everything but I am Knowledgeable so feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to help. PLEASE LEAVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK ASAP! And contact me before leaving bad or neutral feedback so we can work out a solution and get you HAPPY AND SATISFIED ;) E I got this bike a few weeks ago I have always been a fan of the big bore two strokes. Now is not the best time for me to restore another bike so I will be passing it on. I have not ridden it much the bike but it does run. Ton of compression. Nearly kicks you off of it. I can get it to fire usually within 5 kicks. It will idle and run but after about 30 seconds it will climb rpm as if it is running out of gas and leaning out. The intake boot has many cracks in it and been covered with glue. It is obviously sucking in air here and the boot needs to be replaced. I rode it once around the block and 1st gear popped out. I am not sure if I just didn't kick it into gear all the way and I noticed the shifter hits the frame on the down shift. I stopped the bike and well dont want a KX500 under neath my legs as the rpm take off. If I get a chance to get a new boot I will test out the transmission some more. I prefer to disclose everything I know about the bike. Its a KX500 and a in the mid 80s one the of the fastest bikes up to 80mph period. I will say it does scare me much more then my RD :) I am sure you can just do a once over and take it out. But it will need some welding on the exhaust hanger, one time it has been welded and re broke. The kick starter has been welded on for a temorary fix and works but could be replaced. Missing the chain slide and it has damaged the swing-arm. See picture. It will need new plastics. The shocks need minimum a set up, or rebuild. It has one large dent on bottom of the frame. Seat torn, plastics are shot. One rim has been replaced with a aftermarket exel rim. Has Pro-taper bars and clamps. Tires have tread but not new. Brake lever broke. The intake boot is dry cracked and trash. Other then that its a big bad bike. I have a clean CA Duplicate title I got from the seller of the bike I do not have a bill of sale from the seller. I will write you a bill of sale from me to you. Just to be clear the title is not in my name. I may not sell the bike so if you want an 86 then get your guns out. Thank you. I hope I didn't leave anything out so please ask any question.
