as the subject mentioned imma be looking into a few used bikes and i would like to know what are certain things that i should pay attention to when inspecting used bikes.....sorry guys i am a complete noob to bikes so any help would be appreciated..thanx...
No prob buddy this is a great place to ask the? I think the first couple ask the owner about common things like oil change, break in period, valve adjustment stuff like that. Then you your self can check out chain tension and sporket and chain wear. Look in the gas tank see if it is rusty and check to see if the fork seals are leaking. Thast all i can think of right now. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Any deficiency in any of these items should equate to a dollar amount off of the selling price.
