2004 Black Kawasaki ER-5, 500cc Motorcycle for Spares or Repair. Condition is “For parts or not working”. Collection in person only and cash on collection; no bank transfers and no cheques or £50 notes. You’ll need a trailer, or van and ramp to take it away should you decide to buy it.I am selling this motorcycle on behalf of my daughter. It was left in her garage by the then owner in 2014 and has not been ridden since. It had a problem with its front brake and the previous owner removed the seat, tank and front brake lever and that was as far as he got. Unfortunately it was winter when the bike was left and it was wet, consequently it has suffered some corrosion on the crankcases, underside and swinging arm which needs treating, plus the rear chain is badly rusted. The worst problem is that the keys have been misplaced, and although the steering lock has not been engaged, new keys will be required if the bike is to be recommissioned.Having said all this, there are a lot of plus points. The bike was ridden to the garage so there is no reason to believe that there is anything wrong with the engine. I replaced the tank and seat, and freed off the rear chain enough for the bike to be rolled, and confirmed that the engine was free, it had good compression and all the gears could be selected. The tank is in excellent condition with no scratches or dents, as are the wheels which have what were once new Avon Roadrider tyres on them. If the bike is to be repaired there’s not too much to do if you know what you are doing, once the problem of the keys has been sorted out. The rear wheel needs removing to give access to treat the corrosion on the swinging arm, frame and centre stand. The crankcases need polishing and the exhaust front pipes and rear shock absorbers may need replacing. The front brake problem needs investigation, and the clamp for the handlebar right hand switch cluster has gone missing and needs replacing. The seat has a small tear at the back and a small patch is required. Then its a new battery, oil change, service and recommission, and then enjoy the summer. Its a shame to see it like this, it was once a nice bike and can be again if you are willing to put in a bit of effort and a few hundred quid.A new rear chain has been purchased and comes with the bike, as does the Haynes manual, (see photos). If you look on the DVLA web site you will see the bike is currently on SORN, and was MOT’d regularly up to December 2013; current mileage is 40,046 miles. The V5C is in my daughters name and will be transferred at time of collection. The bike is listed at a low starting price with no reserve, cash payment in full on collection. The a bike is currently at an address in Lancaster which will be revealed to the successful bidder once the purchase has gone through on eBay; I will be there at the time of collection to give any assistance necessary.
Current Price: £350.00
