TY350N - should I sell it or wreck it
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 6:59 pm
I have decided to abandon the old girl and buy something a bit more modern.
My problem is that I live a long way from anywhere (near Charleville in SW Qld) and I'm not sure of the best way to cut my losses with my TY350N. So I am seeking advice.
I am not trying to make a fortune, just lose a bit less - the bike is complete and runs well, but it is scruffy and I have never been happy with starting it - I can't get it to start with a half a kick so I end up clipping the footpeg up and the kick start over rotates and touches the clutch cover. The frame has been badly repainted and suspension needs love - basically I don't want to put more cash into this thing, so any advice would be appreciated.
I have wrecked bikes by post as it were before and it worked out OK, I'm just not sure if there would be any interest in 350 parts or should I leave it in one piece and let someone less lazy than me do a restoration.
Help.......
