Bike just keeps getting worse
07/13/13 at 20:30:55
So yesterday the clutch release cam broke, no big deal was going to replace the tensioner and reseal the head cover anyway. So as I'm taking the top apart, it seemed every other thing I took off was rigged together or broken. Broke bolt in the head, stripped bolts, missing bolts. More and more it looks like the bike has been completely neglected. I like the bike but not sure if I want to go through all the repairs. Definitely need to pull the head off and tap out all the bolts and put helicoils in. So frustrated.

Three weeks, and while I like it, I think once I get it running again I'm selling it. At this point I don't trust it. Already bought another bike.

sounds like the seller lied about condition,,
some places you can slap them for "non-disclosure" of known problems

Live in a non disclosure state. I blame myself for not learning enough about motorcycles and what to look for before I bought it. Buyer be ware.

Overall a good bike, but if it has the stock exhaust, you are going to hate changing the oil. The filter access is blocked by the front header pipe... that's why I'm so fond of Kawasaki Vulcans, they take the same spin on oil filter as a Ford Probe, Fram 7317 or equivalent. 800/900/1500/1600 for sure all take the same filter, can't recall on the 500/700/750/2000.
