    you should take the motor out completely rebuild it , sent the frame for some powder coating, buy new wheels , take some nice some video of it , 3 layers of stickers, and sell it for 3k after you spend 8k on it :D like others on youtube do !

      Oh yeah I've seen plenty, I make money on all, some more than others. I have a 2005 YZ250 on the back burner, thinking about building a YZ250x replica. Have to look into the differences. Hope all is well with you.

      All good there, do it right, make it safe, and move it on. As long as the person buys it knowing what it needs, that's good to. All my bikes are race ready when they leave my shop.

    If my local Suzuki mechanics were as proficient and honest as you, I'd let them do a valve clearance check/ adjust on my VStrom. I can see it will be a real pain.I'm dreading it. I know these guys don't have time to be too careful. In '80 the Honda dealer I worked at told a guy with a CBX they adjusted his valves and charged him big time. They never even took his valve cover off.

    How much did you buy it for and how much did you spend in parts?

    • @TepcoCycleRepair
      @TepcoCycleRepair  3 роки тому +8

      I sold if for $2k I bought it for $800 it was around $700 for parts/fluids that leaves $500 for labor and I'm sure some other things I missed certainly not a big money maker. For me the fun is bringing it back to life and selling it to someone for a good deal who is super happy to get a good clean bike.
