That is definately a 230S, kick start tells it!
It is missing the tube from air box to carb.
87-88 swing arm looks a little more sturdy, don't know if that is fact or fiction.
Don't see any major oil leaks.... nice tires and rims..
Man if you can get her cheap, go for it!

The 86 weighs 309 dry. The 87/88 is 337 lbs
The 86 is 71.7x41.7x42.5 (LxWxH) The 87/88 is 70.7x41.9x43.5
The front/rear track is 31.9/31.5 for the 86. 31.7/31.3 for the 87/88.
seat height 31.5 for the 86. 31.3 for the 87/88
rear tire 22x11-9 on 86 21x11-9 on 87/88
In 88 the crankshaft oil jet went from .055 to .098 and the oil pump rotor width went from .28 to .39. Also the oil pump driven gear has a different shape.
In 87 they went to that goofy way of tightening the chain. I like the 85/86 eccentric way.

I don't know if the 87/88 swingarm is sturdier or not, but it sure is tougher to adjust the chain. Those bolts get bent, stripped, or the heads get rounded off.
The 250S swingarm could be a little sturdier. I found out the hard way the long bolt is longer in the 250 than the 230. I guess that means the frame is wider at that point and the swingarm bearing part is wider.

haha........nope. The PS2 is worth over $120 with all the other stuff I have with it though.
He said he's getting lots of offers but I don't know if I believe him.
He also said he doesn't have the title so hopefully he'll give me the VIN so I can make sure it isn't hot.

Well, it looks like I may have the craigslist dude with the cherry 230 falling for the "I am the biggest 230s fan in the world" "1500 is just to much to keep em alive" we will see!!!
In the mean time, I think I have fallen head over heals for the new Z400!!!
Looks like it has everything I like from the 450R, EFI, long travel, killer shocks, cool plastic, with a lil less, oh ****, your almost 40yrs old, this thang has too much git and ****!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Wow.
Most Republicans voted no, unhappy not only at the pricetag, but also that they weren't more involved in putting the package together.
Obama said the federal government was the only power that could save the nation at a time of crisis, with huge spending outlays and tax cuts that he contended could save or create up to 4 million jobs.
"At this particular moment, with the private sector so weakened by this recession, the federal government is the only entity left with the resources to jolt our economy back to life," Obama said
Am I the only one to find this wrong on so many levels?

That'd be great if you got that one! Would your current one be for parts or would you just have two?
I love the new Z-400s. Especially the special edition with those sweet colors and graphics! That looks SO good!
Hopefully I hear from that guy soon about the VIN. I'm guessing if he doesn't reply, its hot. Although he offered it in an email so I'm thinking its not.
