JustinWillmon Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I dont think it did. He never said anything he just said it would need a new cylinder, piston and rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the kit ill have around 1300-1400 in it so maybe theres a little room for some profit right? We would price a clean low hour 09+ 85 in the $2k obo range at the shop. Those bikes are in pretty high demand around here, not sure in your area. Also it will be hard to tell much about the clutch until you have it going. I'm sure the plates will show some wear, as of course they are used but I wouldn't stress too much about it till you get it together and try it out. Just make sure you can get it adjusted properly (no stretched cable or worn clutch return spring), and then when it's running check for slipping. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWillmon Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Alright i feel a lot better about it now, i was stressing thinking maybe i bit of more than i could chew buying this. But hopefully gonna order that kit tomorrow, clean it up and maybe buy a new graphics kit for it and have a little fun on it and then see what i can get out of it.

727Designs Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 As long as the stock graphics are in pretty good shape I'd just clean it up nicely, if the number plates have scratches buy some black number plate backgrounds to put on to cover them up. Otherwise just go over it with a fine tooth comb on cleaning it up. The less overhead you can manage the more likely you are to hit a home run on resale. It's the time of year for off road machines to REALLY start selling, and kids love these 85's. Good time of year if you can pull off getting it done quickly. As far as assembly goes these are as straightforward as any engine you will ever mess with. Nothing difficult or complex. You should be able to handle it easily, just take your time with it. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWillmon Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah your right ill probably just give it a good cleaning and get it running and call it good. Gonna try and get it sold before summer starts, so first thing in the morning ill be ordering that kit. Again thanks a lot for the help, I may have some more questions later on but i really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Designs Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Another thing, make sure the air filter is clean and use a good quality air filter oil. Grit making it past the filter can cause nikasil wear in a hurry, not a huge issue for you since you're flipping it, but to a buyer who knows what he is looking for a good clean filter is a good sign. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWillmon Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Okay ill check into that. Dont want to screw the next guy over that may buy it, thats just not my style so ill probably check that out tomorrow. Can it be cleaned and then just reoiled or do i need to buy a whole new one if its dirty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Designs Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Use something like mineral spirits to clean it (Cuts off nearly any oils, and is not as hard on the filter as gas or other chemicals), then soap and water. Let it dry good and then oil it with a good quality filter oil... remember when doing it you can OVER oil a filter if you aren't careful. Get a good coverage, but don't leave it soaking. If it looks pretty bad after you clean it you can scoop up a pre-oiled filter from No Toil for pretty cheap at any dealer. We sell ALOT of them at the shop, right in the upper teens lower $20 area. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWillmon Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Alright that works, ill probably take the plastics off and clean them up and then check out the air filter. Going to order the kit i linked as well and maybe if all goes right i can have this thing running by this weekend or next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
