95 yamaha 600 been dumped forks not aligned up and....?

Question

i am looking at buying a 95 yamaha yzf600. the forks are not straight and in the front of the bike where the forks are covered by the plastic i can put 4 fingers between the plastic and forks and only 2 fingers on the other side. what needs to be done? the gas tank doesnt look like its straight with the frame. couple of the welds have paint chiped and a little rusty. the cover on the case was jb welded. do i buy this bike or not? also he could keep it idleing.

Answer 1

Don't walk, RUN!

Bent forks, tweaked frame, stressed welds, and JB as well.............

that's a bike that should have gone to the scrap yard.

Answer 2

I would not the frame might be tweaked  also

Answer 3

If the welds have paint chipped don't buy it.  Period.  This means that the frame welds have taken stress and they will have lost much of their strength.
