Sorry to hear that, you've been very unlucky with it.
But to be honest once the thrill is gone, it's almost impossible to rekindle it ... I think you're right to put it up for sale. I know a guy who restored an RD500 to as-new cosmetic condition, but it also had dozens of niggles that meant he was spending 8 hours fettling / fixing for every hour of riding. His passion for it just bled away. If it doesn't make you feel good, you'll never enjoy owning it.
