Hoggs Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Get them to start from cold is always rule number 1 Also see the paperworkIf the guy doesn't point out the damaged bits he's hiding something and be suspicious And if it doesn't feel right trust your gut and walk away there's a lot of bikes out there Quote
Simon m Posted August 19, 2016 Author Posted August 19, 2016 Am I looking for prity much the same as a car just adding the chain and sprockets Quote
nicklucey Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Have a butchers on youtube there's some good vids if you want a full checklist to go through. In addition to your list i would be thinking about checking all the electrics work, rust in the petrol tank, steering moves freely, brakes work and there's nothing weird happening on the front end when you brake, oil from forks leaking, knackered hoses etc.And see if they've ever posted on a forum claiming ybr's continue to work despite having no oilSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
al_stu Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 If they're no good my mate is selling a ybr for 1k based derbyshire but easy enough to sort out delivery if you like it Quote
Simon m Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 Cool thanks dude but think that's a bit far to view a bike Will also check the electrics Thanks guys Quote
Simon m Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 Hi thanks for the help I picked up a Suzuki tux 125 and after 2 hours of cleaning it's looking smart The one thing I need to do is a service is there a web page like euro car parts but for bikes so I can put the reg no in and it will come up with all the parts that will fit Thanks guys Quote
