Selling my 2007 Burgman 400 with 5670 miles. Was owned by a UofM professor who rode it from Ypsilanti to Ann Arbor. Hence the low mileage. I bought it last September, and immediately changed the tires. The shop is 2 miles away, so the tires have no more than 5 miles on them. Has new battery and oil. I started the coolant change. Have left side plastic off. Trying to bleed the system, and noticed dripping from by the radiator, and more underneath. Only lost about 1/2 shot glass of fluid. The rear wheel is somewhat stuck. Will turn under power, but not by hand. I sprayed the handbrake linkage with a cleaner, and that helped. The bodywork is fine. The scooter was always covered. I had a 2009 400, and sold it in 2017, I think. I really liked it. Bought a CTX, which I hated. Gave up riding in 2018 when I bought my Mustang convertible. Didn’t miss riding at all. Bought this scooter on the spur of the moment. I really don’t have the desire to ride, like I did before. So I just don’t want to monkey with it anymore. The engine runs great. So I set the price at $1,000, but will accept a reasonable offer. I will take pictures and send to anyone interested.
That would be nice. Yeah, too bad. When I had the new tires put on, last year, I went 4-5 miles out of my way, and it ran just great. As I said in my original post, I had the seller ride it about 30+ miles to my house. He was a Harley guy. My mistake was not leaving things as they were. The old coolant was bright green.
UPDATE! I started the scooter today, and let it run until the temperature gauge rose to the center of the dial. There was ZERO coolant leakage. Maybe before I had overfilled something. So the only issue is freeing the rear wheel and putting the tupperware back on. When the first snow flies, I will pull the battery and roll it into the garage. I also took several pictures I can send anyone who may be interested.

Could you have the guy that installed the rear tire swing by and have a quick look ? Five miles since tire install makes me wonder if it was reassembled properly?
Both tires were installed by a local shop that primarily services Harleys, but other bikes as well. They had several sport bikes in the garage. The bike was fine on my ride. I think what caused the sticky rear brake is I had to set the parking brake when trying to remove the dash cover. It stayed like that for quite a long time on the center stand. The rear brake was fine when I changed the oil. There was no stickiness on the rear brake on the ride home. So I won’t bother them, because nothing was wrong when I picked up the scooter.
