Hi, looking at getting a Suzuki RF600, 1996. Other than the normal bike things to check, what sort of things should I look for?

McGee had one, could try PMing him.

I know that the lock to remove the seat jamming is an issue on the RF900, only a £20 job but worth checking.

Check the bottom of both the left and right side fairing / bellypan as they sit low to the ground, that when you have it really cranked over the lower fairing / bellypan scrape the ground! Thats no lie either, I owned one and know from experience!! Thumbs Up

You may or may not be interested, but I wrote a review on these a few years back, it might give you a little more insight!
