The bike is in "showroom" condition, except the mileage, And I'm gonna go through w/the purchase, but I was just sorta curious about the miles...
I will be posting pics as soon as she's parked in my driveway!  -Al |
18,000 miles is very low for a 05 Nomad. I have put 38,000 miles on my 07 Nomad during the 1.5 summers I have had it and it runs better now than the day I bought it. The bike really didn't feel broke in until I had about 12,000 miles on it.
There are a few maintenance items that should to be done (grease steering head bearings, swing arm and drive shaft) but these are pretty much just normal maintenance. I did put the cam chain extenders on at about 26,000 miles but this is also an easy fix that only cost about $25.00. Other than that change oil and keep the tires up and ride. The Vulcan line of Kawasaki seems to be pretty much bullet proof.
Now where are those picture?
