I would love to sell this bike. Unfortunately it was purchased from an industry technician who assured me the problem was handled. I liked the guy and I trusted his estimation of the situation. Now, However, I am faced with the dilemma, repair of sell. The bike, from the outside, is a showpiece and I paid accordingly. Hindsight certainly indicates I should have been far more probing regarding exactly what work was done to repair the bike after its bead blasting contamination problem occurred.
How can I sell the thing with good conscious? I cannot assure a new buyer that this bike is OK. Knowing what I know now, any statement like that would be totally dishonest. If I told them the truth, the selling price would be fraction of what I paid. If I do need to get a new/used XR250 motor to rebuild from scratch, do you know where I can find one?
Thanks for your help, it may not be good news, but it sounds like the truth to me.
