Wisdom hidden soooooo far down in the comments? Blasphemy.

The starter clutch is a known wear issue on these bikes. The starter itself? Not so much. If it is just the starter then that’s an easy $50 fix. I’m betting if it were that easy it would have been fixed by now.

Why not both?

I’m with you. Then it should be priced like a broken bike though.  There’s nothing wrong with dumping you broken stuff but it’s got to be priced for it. 

Wait what? If it’s just the starter motor it’s literally two bolts and one wire connection and it slides right out of the left side of the engine. If the starter clutch is no good that’s a different story. The listing says it could be either but he’s not totally sure.

unicycles or GTFO.....

Engine out to fix starter is not that bad, Fix the oil leak while it is out. Real problem for me is Carbs. I have vowed never to own anything without fuel injection ever again. CP

It’s a monumental job—like literally requiring taking the transmission mid-shaft out. It may have been too daunting and/0r too expensive for a bike he wanted to unload.

Hey, just wait until you hear what people say when I start doing airplanes and canoes.

The seller claims that it was always meticulously maintained, but he couldn’t fix the fucking starter?  STFU.  Crack pipe.

Brace yourselves for the wave of commenters bitching about how this doesn’t have four wheels. Where’s my furniture to rate, Rob?

There is a grade crossing about a block away. Making this higher would mean raising that crossing as well, and all the streets that lead to it, and then all the entrances to all the buildings on all the connecting streets.

You know it’s a low bridge when you don’t fit despite going through on your side.

So did the guy in the video above. Well, I mean he can mark that bucket off his list.

Just don’t try to split a car.

But I still can’t get anyone to answer my question.  Why don’t the trucks just go through on their side?

Good for you! You got that off your bucket list.

I’ve found, that the railroad companies typically don’t have the time to go through the trouble of making their bridges higher, especially in cases of very busy lines where they don’t want to take on the expense and time of shutting down the line.

We have our own 11'8" bridge near UofL campus here in Louisville with the same reputation:

But you had an s2000, so going under it was drama free for you. Should have gone and rented a uhaul to destroy.
