Howdo..

Well, theya re usually spot on but;

1: charging system fails..so worth checking the reg/rec and the connector blocks associated with it (also good to check the charge rate)
2: shocks are usually old and tired
3: chain adjusters are battered by dickheads with screwdrivers
4: setup badly with chopped airboxes etc.

You'll find out soon enough I am sure!

Got a link to the sale? someone on here might well know the bike..

Welcome to the site

Tell us what the "good price" is and we'll go from there. A few key issues could turn a good price into a mugging. Let the 400GB crew help you avoid this happening. :grin:
