Hello 👋, i find your videos very informative . I need your opinion . I am planning to buy used 9 year old 1200 xca what i should consider while checking the bike ?
@@Wanderer_prashant Hi.I would just check for the usual items: generally looks well kept, clean and free of oil leaks, engine and gearbox running smoothly, smooth clutch operation, all working electrics, no leaks on front and rear shocks, smooth shock action over bumps, check engine light off, no cam chain noise, triple whine is ok, brake master cylinders working smoothly, brake fluids fresh, steering head bearings running smoothly, put bike on double-stand and check for no wheel bearing play. Condition of tyres, brake pads. Ask for a record of servicing. The biggest issues I faced buying an older bike was leaky rear shock and slightly noisy cam chain tensioner on startup (must be quiet after 10s)-fixable by replacing tensioner and timing chain. All the best
