Picked this bike up on the weekend and I've started to slowly go through and see what might be wrong with it. The first owner put 40,000KM on it and then the guy I bought it from did 10, 000KM.
I was told by the previous owner that he dropped it once, he said got a wobble doing 50km after hitting a speed bump. just a scratch on the fairing. Also he said the ABS does not work. Yesterday I found out that the rear brake pedal switch was fried and I order a new one. Today I took out the rear drive shaft and found there was grease it had turned a rusty color on the rear of the shaft and was still white at the front of the shaft
Looking over the bottom of the bike and all over the bike it looks in good condition so far, fingers crossed.
