Sweet that's even better , hoping for $3500 but it got traded in at 5.30 today so they haven't detailed or anything yet so it will be interesting to see hours KM on it be there first thing in the morning

hey shawbagga just having a look at bike in pictures and as you noticed the chain guide is different well after sussing out over the web if you notice they had the same guide on them but the 2013 in a few test I see changed the guide to this one so im hoping that this is the last of the wr 300 model anyway im just heading off to go check it out , tell you how I go

 

[shawbagga]

Yeah they may well have changed the chain guide in last model years-nylon heaps better anyway n tm TM designworks or brp heaps better again. Haggle em hard use the missing case saver as leverage n is bet the swingarm flap has worn into the swingarm(no biggy but more leverage). Not much paint off frame in boots area so unless bn painted it's had little use or an easy life. Check airboot n intake manifold for signs of crackin/perishing. Easy fix tho

Good luck if U cn pik it up for cheap u laughin do everythin a ktm will do!

Pick the scrawniest salesperson, preferably in tennies, make them start it and then haggle some more when they can't do it

 

[shawbagga]

Hey, I'm 5'6", 145 and I can start it in running shoes - with no socks!






Except that time it was out of gas and I tried for 20 minutes before I figured it out... and by that time I was out of gas.

Note: don't pick the Canuck zomby salesperson

Startin it in shoes is fine it's wen I be lazy n try start it in half worn out thongs(flip flops for u yanks not not burnt out undies!) that I soon regret it.

 

[Huskybloke]

Better put a picture up and don't worry Shawbagga im all over it like a fatkid on a smartie

 

[shawbagga]

Looks clean! FYI if you're after a force pipe guard/bashy dao I think it is off DBW has them in black for $180 del. tuff bit of kit that isn't that heavy n I've found doesn't çollect much mud. One bolt release too

 

[Huskynoobee]

Looks like it was barely ridden.

 

[NCSteve]

Looks great, how does it run?

Get the shark fin/big rotor kit for the small grabby rear brake from Hall's or ZipTy. Big improvement.

ps I borrowed these photos from Eurocycle01. Thanks. I hope its ok...

I don't think that Zipty still offers that item. I didn't see it on the website just now.

 

[burstcasino]

Yeah, might of gone the way of the vanishing race head. Used might be your only option...

 

[Huskynoobee]

That's correct, those Shark Fin big brake kits are no longer available. Sorry guys n gals.

 

[Huskybloke]

I am chasing some levers for the bike but cant find any that fit by model designation is there any cross over parts I can get like it wouldn't matter if I got the complete perch/ lever combo for the clutch would it ? what brake lever fits ?
