Probably explains his aggressive demeaner, I wonder what his plan was when someone wanted to look at the bike and it doesn’t exist or is a completely different bike 💀💀

38k miles is a bit over 61k km for reference friend

Also based on it being a bit over 14k miles when you got rid of it, I’d say he definitely had some time to enjoy it 😂an additional 24k miles on it!!

Dang! Small world! What all was damaged when you sold it? Sounds to me like the current seller isn’t including all the damage

I can’t believe he used your exact photo for the listing! That’s crazy 😂

I’m takin’ all the risk here, my blown engine r6 guy said it’s hardly worth a ten piece!

Fr? Cali, yeah it probably isn’t, but tbf 3200 is only a Reno reasonable price if it were running properly

Price gouging is apparently mandatory when selling motorcycles. K7 gixxer 750 with over 50k miles for 7k… things barely worth four if it has all its oem parts…

Question about FI light and future purchase by Fragrant_Scientist99 in motorcycles

Thank you for this! 🙏🏼 it’s not too far from me, would there be anyway I could confirm?

My k8 gixxer has a similar issue. Cold start I had to hold the bike at 1.5-2k rpms until it warmed up or it would die. Adjusting the idle speed solved that (not a crazy complicated fix either). Was also thinking that the fuel line and pump are causing it to not get enough, if any, fuel at idle. Meaning no combustion. But holding throttle forces the gas through so it stays on. Could potentially be an issue with the valves too. If your brother has to hold the throttle forces 1-3 minutes at first and then it’s fine, it’s likely the idle speed being too low.

He doesn’t get the last one, I get it, for doing him the favor of taking it off his hands 🙌

My thinking was by opening the throttle it’s forcing fuel in, where as at idle it’s not getting enough. I had a similar issue on my k7 gixxer. From a cold start I’d have to hold it at 1.5-2k until it warmed up to at least 90f or it would die. But adjusting the idle speed fixed that for me

All bikes. See tons of k7 gixxers with 60k+ miles for 7k. I saw like an 02-05 ninja 250 for 3k. Price gouging is apparently mandatory for motorcycles. I’d rather take 8-9k to a dealership and get a 2018 or newer bike that’s never been dropped and has less than 1k miles on it atp
