I have a '99 (A14) 650 for sale with 4700 miles Extras include Dual Star, center stand, headlight protector and the exhaust heatshield for a Supertrapp exhaust, though I have not yet replaced the exhaust. It also has a Moose skid plate and rear master cylinder guard. Included is the Kawi tank bag. Oils been changed three times in its short existance(somewhat anal),and valves were done by me(a mechanic) at just over 600 miles. The bike is 1 year old this May. California emmisions has been removed though I still have all the parts. Have a Perelli MT 21 on the front and a Dunlop 606 on the rear, this is a combo I read about on this site and I am very happy with the way it works both on and off road.They have about 1000 miles on them. The only problems with the bike is that I managed to melt my right side panel ($87.00 from the dealer) during my trip over to Park City last year, and there are some scratches on the hand guards and front fender from two unplanned, non moving tipovers( I'm 5'8"). Otherwise it's in excellent shape. The bike is located 1 1/2 hours outside of Denver in Winter Park, Co. Price $3900.00 Firm ($4000.00 if I replace side panel).

Putting the cap on between refilling the reservoir is too time- consuming. Simply squeeze the brake lever slowly, then allow the brake lever to return to the rest position even MORE SLOWLY, and you will not get the fountain of brake fluid erupting from the reservoir. Snapping the piston under the reservoir is the cause of the fountain effect. Glenn
