[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 1201581, member: 16545"] There's a couple things I always look for BEFORE I buy a used bike. 1. Air filter - Is it clean and well-oiled? 2. Condition of chain and sprockets - Is the chain loose and the sprockets severely hooked or missing teeth? 2. Wheel bearings - Any side to side play in the wheels? These three are good initial indicators to the maintenance the seller performed on the bike. Then I ask questions about brand of pre-mix and ratio (2-stroke). Brand of oil and frequency of changes for engine/trans oil (4-stroke), trans oil 2-stroke. Last time the fork/shock oil was changed. The deal killer is usually when I ask about the last time the suspension/steering head bearings were greased/changed. If you get that "deer caught in the headlights" look from the seller, run away fast with your cash. [/QUOTE]
