Message: [QUOTE="KDX200Kev, post: 946911, member: 46686"] I went and looked at the motorcycle yesterday and yes it is a 1977 KX 400. The seller has the pink slip from the original owner but never transferred it into his name. Thus I don't know if this an issue with registering it. May not be to big of a deal, but in CA that usally not the norm. It looks like its been stored outside for the last 5 years. Rust on the handlebars, spokes, kick shifter, and fork sliders. The left front fork has a seal leak. The tank is plastic but has age stress marks. Don't know if the tank leaks since it was empty with the exception of the dirt residue in it. There's no air filter on the bike. The rear brake engages but does not release on its own. The front brake cable is broken. Exhaust pipe is all dented up. Rear shocks does'nt respond when you bounce on the seat. The plastic (fenders and number plates) is original and falling apart. Grips are gumming (messy). Tires are worn and cracking. The engine has compression but you can push the kick lever down with your hand with out much effort. The transmission oil has not been changed for the last 10 years since this guy appears to not know how to maintain a motorcycle. Now granted he only asked $75 for this motorcycle and was willing to take $50 for it. I found myself thinking is it even worth that given the shape its in. What do you think??? [/QUOTE]
