I think the term is "gauging interest"?
I'm a learner motorcyclist considering upgrading to a learner legal 400 or higher, in doing so, I'd need to sell my Zeal.
The bike has WoF and Rego is valid, I've been riding it for 3 months with no major issues.
I don't know much about motorcycle maintenance or anything, so apologies in advance if I don't go into enough detail in the following issues:
It's not very tidy, had been down on the road before I bought it. Exhaust looks terrible, stator cover had a hole in it, but replaced it.
Has a constant fuel smell I can't find the source of, burns through fuel pretty quick. Full tank only lasts about 180km.
Tires are in decent condition, front brake pads were replaced when I started riding, back ones should still last a while.
Back brake has barely any power, think it has some air in it. I needed to bleed it when I got it, and was kinda lazy and kinda did the minimum I could do to pass the WoF (I should probably not own a motorbike).
One of the previous owners of the gas tank it has on it looks like they tried to remove the "Zeal" writing, it looks terrible.
Sometimes it loses some power for no reason, and nobody can figure out why. Hasn't been that much of a problem, in my opinion.
Headlight is for a different bike, fits decent enough.
Tachometer doesn't work, worked when I got it but just kinda stopped working at some point. Also has a hole in the cover.
Electronics look like a child unplugged everything and had a play round.
Tape covering hole in the Tachometer and a small gap where the headlight connects. Despite my Dad's protests that "Motorbikes are made to handle water, blahblahblah".
Don't know anything about it's history, apart from the fact that it sat around at my uncle's place for 2 years before I bought it.
Back brake is from a different bike model, original was seized to hell and my dad stuffed one of the pistons trying to fix it :/. Fits perfectly, think it's from the Zeal's sister bike, the FZR 250.
Brake disc is a little warped. Have a replacement that I got preowned, looks to be in good condition (No promises)
Includes an extra stator and the bit in the stator cover that has a wire coming out. I bought a stator cover for cheap and the guy included them as well...
No. plate is A5LAJ if you wish to look up any rego information.
Odo reads 67404.

While also on the subject, I'm looking for recommendations on 400cc or higher LAMS approved bikes I could look into. Prefer naked bikes, anything in black, and am not fused with physical condition.
