Buyers guide to buying a used bike?

**.::F[L]Y::.** · 11-10-2008 12:14 AM

There doesnt seem to be a thread on this topic. Apart from myself i know there are others looking for some tips on what to look out for when buying a used bike.

Perhaps a check list style of things or tips that would be handy in assisting in this matter.

There is a good list on netrider in the noob forum.

im pretty sure this section will fail when every thread for help inevitably just becomes a free link to netrider -_-

No, I'm pretty sure this section will fail due to the amount of ignorant and immature posts, just like Nerd Rider.

Theres plenty of things to name to look out for CBR

Carbies
Leaks
Rotors
Brake Pads
Head bearings
Tyres, if a noob rides like a grandma or is a hoon you WILL know
Forks

I could probably name much more but cant think of them atm

If you ride it, then you WILL know which one is in good condition or not. Alot of people compliment on how my bike runs and revs, thats because i clean the carbies every 6 months/ and service the bike like its a religion
