No luck on marketplace so I thought I'd give it a whirl here for giggles. 

Nice shape for its age. Has a full Pro Circuit exaust. Starts and runs great but it leaks coolant into the bottom end. A guy replaced all the gaskets and pressure tested the jug and no leaks so my guess is pump seal or pump shaft is wore? As far as I can tell looks to be all original minus the change guard on the front sprocket and front fender. I can send a video of it running and more pics, just too hard to load. Located in NE Ohio. $1200 cash FTF.

Awesome price . Wish I knew more about motors and what it needed. I would be all over that one.

Price is firm. Or possibly a trade for another bike.

The pump shaft might be grooved where the seal lip rides. The seal could be bad, or the shaft bearing could be roached, which would allow the shaft to move enough to cause a leak. 

$1200 is a good price for it!

Ya I tried finding a water pump shaft but for an 89 doesn't look like they still make them unless they used the same shaft on new models. I paid $2000 which I thought was a good deal but I think the market is changing. I'm seeing great condition 10 year old 2 strokes sitting for weeks when priced in the $3ks in my area.
