it did need some work. you cant really tell in the first picture though. when i got it, the starter was shot and so were the rear axle bearings. since i got it so cheap, i decided to tear it down to the frame and put the money i saved back into it. it is pretty much stock, but has all new bearings, bushings, clutch, cables, brakes, chain, sprockets, hand guards, grips, stainless steel bolts, skid plate, intake, and a ton of other odds and ends. probably around 7-800 in **** you cant see, but gives me a sense of security knowing that i have a solid foundation now. just find a guy in college that is hard up for cash. i know i sold all kind of things when i was in college just to get by, and buy beer, of course.
