    It's worth asking the seller how to check the fluids and other routine checks and maintainance. If they don't know, they ain't done it.

      That's what I do when I look at bikes. I'm buying yet another one soon, Just one to commute with so i'm not putting unnecessary kms on my 1992 cbr250rr in mint condition.
      Ask them what size bolts for the sump plug and coolant drain plug, Cause they might know how but just never do it

      Man I change my oil every 3-4k miles but I couldn't tell you what size the sump plug is.

    Before you go look at the bike let the seller know that you want to see the bike cold. Check the headers when you arrive. See how the bike starts and runs cold.

    Remember if you are buying a used dirt bike and they tell you it's never been dropped they are lying.

    Advice on alarms actually is: Get the shop to ditch the bloody thing. Nothing but trouble.

    Brakes, tires, chain, sprockets, oil/coolant changes. Ask if they have done valve adjustments, most people sell the bikes around 20-30k Kms because they dont want to do that expensive maintenance (they might lie, so bring a mechanic along)

    I would never buy a bike from a dealer, I always buy private and save an absolute fortune as dealers are robbing plebs.
    Your eyes and ears and basic common sense are all you need to buy a decent used bike.

    the consumer reports did recherch on all the manufacturers and they found that 40% of BMW motorcycles will have some type of mechanical failure within 4 years from new. looking over a bike is important no matter how old it is. to give you more of a feel of the spread, honda the best scoring manufacture had a 11% failure rate.
