Default New to the YFZ...

I'm thinking about selling my YFZ. I'm going to college in a month and I doubt I'll get much use out of it, and I have some other things I would like to put some $$$ towards. It has probably less that 5 tanks of gas through it, looks brand new, there is no rust, no chips in the frame, it has no scratches whatsoever, has Yamaha shock covers, and a Pro-Curcuit T4 pipe with dyno jet installed. What do you think I could get for it? It's a LE by the way so I don't know if that increases the resale value at all.

I also heard something about the piston needing to be rebuilt every 12 hours. Is that right? That seems like an awful lot of rebuilding for such a short amount of time and would be another reason to sell.

Not sure about the pistons and that but you should be able to get between $5700 and $6300.

Yeah I heard about the pistons needing to be re-built every 12 hours... but I think that is just so if it breaks down and you have a warranty and you didn't re-build it every 12 hours then they won't fix it. Its just an excuse to not fix it under the warrenty from my point of view. JMO
