Tips For Buying a Used Motorcycle - Motorcycle Buying Tips

[@neilbutler-wasabirc8941]

I’m looking at the exact same bike to buy. Thanks for advice

[@FloridaBoilermaker]

Welcome back. All good advice, Just one thing these bikes do not have valve chatter as they do not get loser as the valves need adjusting, it gets tighter. On time to get a valve job the teck will loosed the valves to be in speck. I have a 09 650 my self and would like to think I know the bike pretty good.

[@Tremonte]

Yeah. The chatter comes from the timing chain and tensioner which gets checked during valve clearance check.

Tremont, great to have you back! Looking forward to more great content!

[@fireboy1969]

Missed ya, good to see you back. Might be a good idea to know how tire codes work for dating when you are checking them. We have a ninja 250 with ~400 miles on it and the tires look good, but the tires are stock from 2007. We'd tell somebody this if we were selling it, but everyone might not be upfront about a tire's age, or they could have just forgotten when they put them on.

Good point!

[@yannickle2906]

Hey great to see you , love your video ( paint fairings ) it was awesome. Would you make a video of valve clearance adjustment? Keep up the good work

[@Tremonte]

Thanks. I may do one in the future, but right now neither bike is due for quite a while.

Tremont, now that you're probably done sorting out the Z650...I would love to see you do the same thing to a Gen. 3 SV650! Or a Triumph Street Twin. Just a thought. :)

[@plumbus2702]

You're back!

[@Tremonte]

Yessir!

[@jcsdesign]

[@Tremonte]

Of course!

[@richarfbi1382]

[@bharathmedala]

Is bmc air filter good for z650..

[@Tremonte]

BMC make great filters. That's what I use.

[@colbyclark2479]

Can i ask what exhaust you have on that 400??!! Is it a full system or slip on??

[@Tremonte]

That's a 650. And it's a Yoshimura full exhaust.

[@kellicolley3078]

Off topic.. Could you recommend a good pair of gloves? My right hand is going numb from the vibration...thx

[@Tremonte]

Dainese Blackjack gloves. Tight fit and well padded.

[@chillaxinmoto]

wb my dude! I haven't bought a used bike before, would it be worth checking the VIN?

[@Tremonte]

It's only going to give basic info about registration, etc. If it's stolen or has a lien, the seller won't have a title.

[@lestercorrea5506]

It’s been a long time...
