IMHO $3500 is too much for a rough bike, although it is rare and mostly still intact. Does it actually RUN,? (not basically)
In this area, I have seen some pretty nice Kz1000's on CL for ~2500 bucks, and they were advertised for a long time. Every time I try to sell a bike, unless it's something like my 81 Kz1000M1, the lowballers swarm on it.
I just did a search on the STL CL and this popped. Although it is a 2000 ZRX1100 water cooled with 14K original miles. Here is some leverage..

I would offer $1K and see how they act. April id prime bike selling time here in the lou, but may be different where you live.

Judging from the oxidation on the cooling fins, this bike has sat outside for a while. The weather not only causes oxidation, but it also causes havoc with electrical components / wiring / switches / connectors / etc..
Notice that the only fins not oxidized are where those wonderfully goofy O-rings / head gasket are located. Another oil leaker? You already know how to deal with that. :whistle:
The more pics you post, the less this bike looks to be a good deal . You can buy a bike ready to ride for less than 3500 bucks my friend.

I will be certain to inquire about the crank. :ohmy:

Owner has no knowledge of warranted crank work by any PO. :huh:
Would there be records kept of the bikes that were done, possibly available to reference?
VIN: JKAZXBA1XDA000605

Bought my GPZ1100UT as a donor/parts bike, (engine only) but the bike has a lot of Special suspention parts (braced swing arm,widened OEM wheels, WP rear damper/spring and two big boxes of spare parts. After a little maintance it starts on the first push of the e-starter and the engine runs like a puring cat.
Bought for 800 Euro, looks like a new Project bike.
I would never sell a bike like yours, buy it, do it, ride it, feel the power....
