Exactly GuyB. There's no logical explanation for any Craigslist ad.

The shade does highlight the sun fading of the stock plastic from being stored outside quite nicely, doesn't it?

Anyway, when I look at the state of his garage the first thing I think is I want to buy something from this guy. Really inspires confidence and a feeling that he pays meticulous attention to maintenance.

Didn't they have ignition box with two selectable "powerbands" in the late 90s? I remember a guy with a 98 or 99 CR125 that had a switch that toggled from a start mode to a race mode. I could be brainfarting though.

The guy may just be an idiot , but maybe what he is trying to say is there is a different power curve on the ignition box hooked up to a switch. I thought I remember a kit being available years ago that did this , but maybe I'm wrong. To some people who don't know better.....they could use those same words on the new 2013 KXF line right? So again......the bike looks like a piece of shit , and the guy may be a maroon........but the IGN switch may actually be there.

Sooooo Whistling .....if this ends up being the case HAHA!!.....you guys going to change your post? Woohoo Woohoo Woohoo

I also see it has some really sick looking decals........so I'm figuring the guy was in the industry in some way shape or form. The ad is a little confusing as well since he didn't say what color the power band was.

Uhhh........hmmm? The knowledge in this thread is priceless indeed. Saying "maroon" like ol' bugs below is one way.....or you could say it the boring way "Moron".
