is tht a good price? will this be the one lol.. wat problems may it have with 30k?
mine has about 26k. some parts are going to be worn out.
Gonna have a ton of problems, only if those valves have been adjusted EVERY 6000 miles will the engine even want to idle. Depending on the previous owner though, you would jsut have to get the details from them. If anything throw a newer engine in there, if everything is in decent shape you could do a 1000 engine with lower miles for right around $1000

Gonna have to strongly disagree with you there mate. The old 900's are tough as.

He knows nothing of the 900. ;D
Evidently ;)
What's to bet he wants to bid on it, and just wants to keep the bids low.
I've heard that model monster has terrible trouble with the alternator preload voltage, causes no end of trouble with the brake bleed ECU timing, and really, really expensive to fix, by all accounts.

Careful, some people might not know you're kidding!
figure you'd sooner rather than later need new electric components, and probabbly need to change out the fuel lines, but you're still way ahead at that price.
i had a 1995. The electrics were on its way out. Something was always wrong. But mine wasnt in the best of shape.
If the bikes been taken care of, i see no problems. but at 30k, its cheap but keep some money on the side to start replacing things
i bought my 95 with the intentions of replacing just about everything. i know i'd be cheaper to buy a newer bike, but what's the fun in that.

already did the recent 1000 engine swap in mine homie, with big bore kit and racing cams from ferraci, so its more like how much you willing to lose?
i sent a message asking about the "rehab" and if there was any valve checks that had been done. The response sounded like they just read off whatever was on the receipt. Not sure if that means the 24k (or anything else) was done or not.
it's relatively local.. I'm keeping my eyes on...
