Seller description

This is a nice example of a 1980 Can Am MX-6 (400cc). I searched for one of these for over a year before I found this one up north. Plans have changed and I have decided to sell it. The fellow I purchased it from had it in climate control storage for many years with fuel removed from the tank which kept the nice color intact. I removed the carb and cleaned it and she fired on the second kick. Took her for a spins and she runs nice. Motor has good compression as well. 
Bike info: This bike is in overall good condition for its age. Front / Rear fenders and Front # plate look new, side plates and tank are in nice condition as well. As you can see in one of the pictures the pipe has had a weld repair (looks like a professional job). Also both forks have been repaired by the axle clamps(also looks like a professional repair). This was a common problem with many of the KTM and Can Am fork bottoms of that era. Fork tube chrome is in nice shape. Also I believe the shocks on the bike are original and do have some pitting on the shafts. The left number plate mount tab was rewelded to the frame at one point. Other than those items the only other thing I could find wrong is a seal leak at the kick start shaft. If you have owned a Can Am before you also know this is a common issue. Rims & tires look pretty good. Seat is original and looks to be in really good shape. Handlebars and controls are in working order.  I am open to a multi- part payment set up if we discuss prior to purchasing. If you have any questions or require additional pictures feel free to contact me - [hidden information]
SHIPPING: the cost and arrangements of shipping are the buyers responsibility. I do have several reasonable shippers I have been using for the past 5 plus years that I could refer. Once the bike is paid for I have no problem storing for a month or two until your shipper can pick up. I want this to be a stress free purchase for the new owner...… If you are an international buyer I do have an export company I have been using for the last decade that I can refer
