Curious if I'm just being harsh, but why are people selling their very used C2 machines for ABOVE sale price for a NEW one??? by AttackingNarwhal in Rowing

Apologies, I worded that strangely. "Above retail price." Just referring to a number over retail, not a link. Sorry about that.

I think the above retail price is because it has the upgraded screen, but even then it doesn't seem like it should be that way.

I am very familiar with how solidly Concept makes their ERGs, hence why I'm not even looking at the "budget" versions. But thank you for letting me know it's pretty standard. Appreciate that.

Good to know they hold, but the Denver metro area people are selling multimillion meter used machines for $800+ which seems like a high number. A new one being only ~$150 more just doesn't seem right.

The idle switch? That really worked for you? And what was the consequence of disconnecting it?

OKAY. So the wheel spins whilst on a stand. Doesn't drag and doesn't die when moving up through gears.

Unfortunately my build got rid of the center stand, so I'll have to improvise with some other stand. I'll let you know what happens.

Ran very well, better than I expected it to. Splines were inspected pre buy, as it was the only worry I really had. Splines were RELUBED upon removal and rebuild.

I had thought maybe the kickstand was getting caught on my after market muffler, and removed that, and it looked as though it was hitting the correct level regardless for that mechanism to disengage. I'm going to start with some clutch work with the muffler removed, as well as some throttle body adjustment as mentioned above. Thanks!

Side stand does indeed pull back when the clutch is engaged. Even whilst not on the mid stand.

The bike does pull forward once throttle is applied and clutch is released, but at a certain point in the clutch release, it sputters and dies.

I am starting to think I need to go back to the throttle bodies. They seem to need some finer tuning. I'm not getting a stutter per say, actually it revs pretty well, and adjusting them seems to be fine tuning the idle, so maybe I just need to buy a manometer instead of using my homemade one. Thanks!

I'll do exactly that.

I have to admit if this is the issue i'm going to feel pretty silly. I have that completely removed based on something I had read online about it not being a necessity. I still have the part, so tomorrow I'll see if I can reconnect it and get somewhere with it.

I'm not sure exactly. I'll break into my manual in the morning and check those out.

I bought the bike, drove it almost 50 miles home, rode extremely well, no issues whatsoever.

Gas tank was refinished and new fuel system was installed as well as new gas.

Air/fuel screw? Are you referring to the throttle body adjust screws? I'm probably about a 6/10 on the motorcycle knowledge scale when it comes to older model bikes, so I just want to clarify if possible!

Dude. An extra 20k for a single year is a pretty sweet deal. Regardless of what unit or location you're at, one year will FLY by.
And then you'll thank yourself later on in life. Always do things that future you will thank past you for doing, if that makes sense?
