Going look at this bike local tonight so I kinda know the history to a certain extent, just wondering if theres any known issues for this bike or things I should check out.

The biggest issue with those is they made them in yellow

Seriously, I don't think beyond dodgy Suzuki electrics there are any inherent faults with them. They stand up well to abuse but can get a bit scabby due to dodgy Suzuki build quality. maybe take a multimeter with you and check charging voltages when it's running, look through the history for replacement batteries, reg/recs etc.

The bike isn't actually advertised for sale, just heard through word of mouth. its basically been sitting in the lads garage for a good few year. I can remember when he was using the bike it was extremely tidy so though it would be worth a look. the fact its been sitting may bring its own issues though.

And so begins the info drip.

Battery, tyres, tank rust, seized breaks, dried out chain and bearings, bounce hell out of the suspension and see if anything leaks.

sorry, i know this topic has prob been covered a million times and i did do a search, just i never found any bike specific posts. i didn't even think there would be suspension issues with being stored for a period. hopefully going to look at it tonight. you all prob wont be interested but ill post how i get on anyhow.

Perished and dry rubber items. Might be an issue, might not.

Of all the people, Rogerborg. Brakes.
