[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 62028, member: 17697"] Penguin has excellent advise. If you do all these checks and the bike passes them you can be reasonably assured that the bike is worth buying. One thing I'll add, if it is possible, test ride the bike on pavement. This will give you a better indication of vibrations caused by out of round rims. I once picked up a bike for my brother and was a great price on a one year old CR 250. The guy didn't have a stand and the bike looked perfect so I didn't check out the wheels like I should have. I test rode it down a pot hole filled dirt road and didn't notice anything. When we brought the bike home and took it down the first section of pavement you could feel the tweaked front rim. If I had only turned left onto the pavement rather than right onto the dirt when I first test rode it I would have caught it. Moral of the story. Bring a stand and tools cause chances are the owner won't have anything to help you in checking over the machine. If he doesn't want you tearing into it then walk away. It isn't worth taking a chance. ------------------ You're young and you got your health, what do you want with a job? '00 KDX 200 [/QUOTE]
