I imagine that you have tried to sell it to a dealer. Bikes are not cheap in Chile, so I'm sure someone will be willing to get it (maybe not, I ignore if the customs would be a pain; where is it registered?). Or try to park it (for sale) in a dealer till some foreigner arrives and you/they sell it to him. You could keep offering it on line.
If you want help with the language to write an add in a Chilian site, just let me know, I'm Spanish and would be have to give a hand. Or if you want to draft/sign some kind of contract with the dealer/private. In any case, keep the nice side/memories of the trip. Safe trip back, Esteban

Do you have a friend there you can 'sell' it to and then park it in their garage for a return trip?
I guess if you are desperate you can track down a bike shop that wants it for parts, but I suspect there aren't that many Yam 900s running around Chile. You can always sell something if your price is low enough...

Could you do a deal with a bike shop or bike repairers to rent the bike to other tourists ?, it would give you some extra time and money till you find a buyer.
