kawasaki zephyr 550 /spares or repair/ runs

 FOR SALE IS MY KAWASAKI 550 ZEPHYR. I BOUGHT THIS IN JANUARY THIS YEAR WITH THE INTENTION OF SORTING OUT ALL THE PROBLEMS AND MAKING IT LOOK LIKE AN OLD Z650. INCE THEN I HAVE PURCHASED A 1976 Z400 TWIN AND HAVE DECIDED TO REBUILD THAT. SO THE 550 HAS TO GO TO MAKE A BIT MORE ROOM. SO TO THE BIKE FIRST THINGS FIRST THE BIKE STARTS ON THE BUTTON. I HAVE PUT A NEW BATTERY ON IT CLEANED AND BALANCED THE CARBS . FIXED THE LEAKING FORK SEALS. LL THE ELECTRICS ARE FINE AND WORKING. HE BRAKES WORK IN A FASHION. FRONT OK . ACK NEEDS A BIT OF FREEING UP. RONT AND REAR NEED PADS. BODY WORK IS OK? IT SAYS BLACK ON THE LOG BOOK. IDNT BOTHER ME AS I WAS GOING TO RESPRAY IT Z COLOURS. NOW THE BAD BIT ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE STARTS ON THE BUTTON IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BOTTOM END IS GOING TO COME THROUGH THE CASINGS . ITS NOT !!!!!! . ITS THE PRIMARY CHAIN RATTLING . EASY TO TEST JUST PUT IT IN GEAR HOLD THE BRAKE AND JUST LET THE CLUTCH OUT UNTIL IT BITES AND THE RATTLE STOPS. I PERSONLY WOULD HAVE STRIPPED THE ENGINE AND REBUILT OR GOT ANOTHER ENGINE. APPARENTLY THIS  IS A COMMON FAULT WITH THESE AND GT550 WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE WEB. ALL I WANT IS THE SPACE BACK IN MY SHED SO I CAN CONCENTRATE ON MY OTHER BIKE AND GET A BIT OF MONEY TOWARDS THE REBUILD OF THAT. ANY VIEWING WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED. ANY QUESTIONS AGAIN WELCOME. YOU WILL NEED A TRAILER OR VAN TO REMOVE. I HAVE RIDDEN THE BIKE JUST DOWN THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT GO MUCH FURTHER WITHOUT GIVING IT A GOOD SERVICE. THE MILEAGE ON THE CLOCKS   SAYS 16000 BUT THAT IS A READING ON A CLOCK AND NO GUARANTEE. BEEN AS HONEST AS I CAN BE SO PLEASE IF YOU BID AND WIN PLEASE TURN UP . AY AND GO. EASY PEEZY. NO RETURNS ITS SPARES OR REPAIRS. THERE ARE A FEW SPARES TO GO WITH THE BIKE . A COUPLE OF SIDE PANELS AND TAIL PIECE . CASH IS KING SO LETS DO A DEAL. MAY WELL SELL ELSE WHERE SO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY. ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OLD BIKES.
