Answer: The first big red flag is aftermarket body work or repainted fairings, the majority of the time this points to a bike that has been crashed. Don’t get me wrong, a properly repaired bike is perfectly fine, but you will want to dig further to be sure the repairs were indeed done properly. Check list: brake pads, brake fluid condition, tires, fork seals (check for leaks), chain & sprocket condition, steering head bearings, lights, signals, horn, engine oil condition, does bike start right up and does it idle smooth? General condition: (bars, foot pegs, body, paint) does this match the odometer reading? Also, look at the bolts. If the bolt heads are all rounded off and chewed up? If the seller is willing, have the bike inspected by Pacific Power Sportz, we don’t charge for this service, just our way of looking out for our customers.
