[QUOTE="RAH RAH, post: 733451, member: 45920"] sounds like it keeps getting cheaper!!! or at least I would hope so. if he raced it weekend and weekout every weekend out of the year for the past 2.5 years harder than heck and if he didnt win the race he crashed out of it would you still buy it? no one has to pay for it but you. theres lots of good info in here that can steer you in the right direction. a good telltel sign of wear are the rotors, pegs(how do they compare to like new) and bearings. shake the bike holding the back wheel with your hand try to find some slop in the rear end or linkage, front wheel bearing, and all of the like. Check all of the fluids then start it up and see how much smoke you see that is not black. black smoke is gas or a rich mixture. the other smoke is not good at all. having blown forkseals is a good measuring stick for saying he wont even do the simple stuff so hows he gonna adjust those valves. I hope that we all helped you out. I would personally buy a bike that has been abused very much so that it has more left in it for me!!!!!! dont let him know that you are coming to see the bike until about 5 min before uyou get there. make sure he hasnt started it already for you to warm it up then you get to do the honors. Good luck we all hope its a dandy!!!! [/QUOTE]
