The rings were stuck when I took possesion of this, so I took out the plugs and filled the cylinders with some penetrating oil I let it sit for an hour, pushed gently on the kickstart lever, and it freed right up This is a GREAT base for a restoration, or clean it up and ride as is I have no doubt the mileage is correct, it still wears it's original tires, and has the original tool kit, as well as the manual Also note the abundance of fasteners that still have the yellow paint dabs confirming they were correctly torqued at the factory Clear title in my name ready to transfer Someone will own this as I am selling with...NO RESERVE!I will assist with shipping, at buyers expense, domestically as well as Internationally On Oct-26-12 at 11:39:26 PDT, seller added the following information: Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image Click to view supersize image
