acturaly i noticed it only had 2 services. i presumed he'd serviced it himself? and only got the trader to do it twice... maybe not. but thanks. looks like they will be a similar price then.

Well they have a 300 - 600 - 1000 - 1500 service intervals.
These have to be kept in order to get replacement parts sorted at a dealer.
I reckon, if you look around hard, you will find decent ones for 1000-1200
Warning though..keep it clean, the materials seem cheap.. but its a good reliable bike.

Cheers. What kind of exta care do 2 strokes need? I wont mind maintanence but i think standing in the cold for 10 mins every day might get a bit old. How do they feel to ride? Apareny the 'power bands' ( whatever they are Smile) make it a bit... Cheers

Hi

Don't sit there waiting for it to warm up. Just ride off but take it easy until they are fully up to temperature.

4 strokes need the oil to be nicely flowing round nicely to protect the crank bearings and cams. In this way they suffer even more from being thrashed from cold.

All the best

Keith
