    Nice 1996 RM80, needs some work, cheap!

    Hey guys, what's going on? I bought this bike in on a trade for my fiddy. It rode amazing for a 80, it was fast, and reliable. I recently starting having some problems with it and I am needing to finish my rebuild on my quad. It is a great bike, but here are the problems i've been having.

    -It leaks some gas, needs the float adjusted properly I assume.

    -The kickstarter doesn't go down the entire way.

    That's it for problems.

    Here are the aftermarket parts I have on it:

    -Renthal Handlebars
    -FMF polished fatty
    -FMF head pipe
    -ASV unbrakable clutch lever (new)
    -Brand new Vertex piston kit
    -All new top end gaskets
    -New waterpump seal
    -Seat cover
    -New tires
    -New grips
    -UNI airfilter
    -New throttle assembly
    -Every bolt on the bike is snug tight, I went over the entire bike.

    I assume you just need to put a new piston in it, and that will completely fix it. I just don't have the time anymore.

    When I was riding it, it was fast, smooth, crisp, and very nice sounding. Didn't smoke or anything.

    The brakes are perfect on the bike. The handlebars are straight. No other problems.

    I will get some pics up ASAP.

    It really is a great bike, just needs someone who has the time to fix it up.

    Must be picked up, I live in Highland Mills, NY 10930

    Asking price is ONLY 550 OBO. I am very reasonable with the price. If the piston is the problem, 50 bucks and you have a perfectly fine 80 to ride.. Believe me, it's FAST!

    I also will accept some trades, just throw them out. I have around 300 dollars that I could add in for something a little extra special.
