==== π― My recommendation for your inspection ==== When you go see the bike, here are specific steps to take: # Bring a cable (trickle charger) or test battery health. Ask if the battery has been replaced recently. # Sit on it: check seat height, comfort, can you reach ground, are controls all comfortable. # Check service book: valve clearances, suspension service records, battery replacements. # Start the bike cold: check for odd noises, misfires, warning lights. # Take it for a ride: - Ride with no luggage, then with luggage if fitted. - On a smooth road do a range of speeds including higher speeds (if safe/legal) and listen/feel for wobble, vibration, steering looseness. - Switch through the ride modes (Street, Sport, Enduro etc) and check whether the suspension/electronics respond. # Visually inspect tyres: age (look for date code), wear pattern, free of damage. # Physical inspection: check head bearings for play, check for oil/coolant leaks, check swing-arm, check chain/sprockets, look at bodywork (scratches, crash damage). # Ask for any faults: has the keyless start failed, has any electronic fault occurred, has the bike spent time in shop for faults? # If the bike has been used off-road ask for those details: how much off-road, any major knocks/drops, have suspension parts been replaced? If you like, I can look up common service costs and what parts (brakes, tyres, suspension) cost on a 2020 SAS in the Netherlands (so you know your ongoing cost). Would that be helpful?
