Just be careful on stuff like that when u cant see/ride it...i did that and met the guy half way..rode it once..made sure it started...next day it broke and ive rebuilt the engine 3x since then (june 04)...looks good just be carefull..i payed 2,000 for mine and it has nothin stock on it but it doesnt run so....just watch it

 

hey this is 2phast4u2catchs bro cuz hes still sleepin but the guy emailed him and told him everything on it was from 86 except the front suspension and he said wats wrong w/ it is it only starts when it wants to and when it does it dies out...

 

i would stay away from that thing, if you really want a q-racer, get a 1992, to me the newer the better, and 1992s had the hammerhead seat, some love it some hate it, jmho.

i agree 100% if you cant see it ride it and inspect it, forget it. when i got my 400ex, i went down to the guys house, and it was in a nice area in a nice neiborhood, nice house 2. got there, and wow what a super friendly guy, it made giving him my worked for money a lot more at ease. the first time i went down i just looked at it, and knew from what he told me he wasnt lyeing. he told me right away when i sat on it, go start it up and take it around my block.

well i went back the next day with CASH, and got him down like 400 bucks, i think he wanted 3200, and i got it for 2800$ with boots, and all that came with the 400.

my view being is look in your paper, you arent locked in on price so much. and you can go and ride it.

well he would b able to go inspect it and look at it but the guy said he cant keep it running soo he wouldnt b abel to test it what do u think the problem could b??

 

Could be simple, could be serious $$$... no one can tell you without actually testing the bike.... And if he said everything was from an 86 except the front suspension he doesn't know what he is talking about... the frame and swing arm are def. from an 87+

either way if you could pick it up for $500 - $700 it would be worth it.... part it out on ebay and use the profits to buy a decent bike. And if you really want a quadracer look for an 87+, the powervalve motors make more power than the earlier powerplants.
