2000 Sportsman 500
 
12 Attachment(s)
I have a 2000 Sportsman 500 for sale. I am asking $9557.67 for it, but I will go down to $2000, maybe even a little lower. It has around 3300 miles on it according to the speedometer, but I am not the first owner, so I cannot confirm this. It has lots of new parts on it including tires, a stator and many other new parts.
With that being said, it has had it's share of problems. I could not sell it without letting you know about some of them. Please search through my previous posts for a detailed history. Currently, it has a possible cracked cylinder or head. I have not opened it yet, but I can tell you that when it sits for a few days, it will not crank over and is hydrolocked from water in the combustion chamber. It could also be something as simple as a head gasket.
I also have an issue where the battery has suddenly started putting out 24 volts instead of 12 volts. This is probably fixed by replacing the battery.
The last few times I rode it, it would overheat after a very short time, but I am attributing that to the head gasket, cylinder, head deal.
I am not aware of any other current issues, but I cannot make any promises. I will try to answer any questions I can about it as truthfully and accurately as possible. Here are some pictures of it.

Damn!! Wish I had the cash, I would buy it off you. Been wanting a 500 or 550. And you aren't too far of a drive for a good deal.

PM me an offer. The worst that can happen is I say no and you keep looking. I am basing my price off what I have seen other similar bikes go for, minus a little for the work needed.

I appreciate it, but the reason I dont have the cash is due to a possible new house...waiting to see how things go there. Gatta save the green backs.

bcdudley 01-30-2011 08:58 PM

I understand that. I tried to buy a new house last year, but I couldn't get approved. Long story, but me and Wells Fargo are no longer friends. If I had to do it again, I would use USAA or US Bank.

ROFL!!!! I can relate to that....I dumped Wells Fart and Go away about 7 years ago....Terrible customer service.
