Guest Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Hi all. About to purchase my first 'big' bike after passing test - seen a Suzuki Bandit for a couple of grand that I'm interested in - but I'm nervous about going ahead as I don't know how to inspect a bike properly and what to look for. I'd really like to avoid any nasty surprises.The bike is located in Cardiff - does anyone know of any 'independent' inspection services in the area, or an experienced biker/mechanic that I can use to check it out for any nasty surprises that won't cost me the earth to look at it?Advice/help appreciated.
CGD217 Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Are you an AA or RAC member? Because i know they do them for cars or at least they used to. Being a member made it cheaper but i think anyone can get it done. I am not sure if they do bikes though!
Grumpy Old Git Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 We have a couple of forum members who live close to Cardiff who might be able to help - If you can't spot these guys and PM them, PM Stu or Vicky and ask them to give you their Forum names so you can contact them.Otherwise, things to look for are - Servicing records, MOTs (they will show any advisories), eyeball for sings of accident / drop damage.You could ask where he/she has it serviced and give them a ring.
