      Nah but forreal this season 6 months ago i Earlier this season actually the night of our worst rainfall this season in ithaca ny(I think we got 5and a half inches in 18 hrs)I decided immediately after the rainfall ended around 1:45 to go to Tioga Downs for a half HR Until they closed at 3. Then on the Cold but clear yet wet ride home I made it to Spencer coming in a Lil hot and at the last sec realized in front of me was 10 inches of water for 65-85 ft, and hitting that at 40 mph felt like 3 ft of water ....everywhere!!as i slowed do we n the bike laid down but by now we had buoyancy , well at least i did in hindsight, bc as i bugged out on these innocent crewman "yo yo wtf eheres my bike " iknew ive told this one before ...Then my brakes, and the flood and my bike tipping brought me to a stop, then I step overy bike , realize it's still running go to pick it up and grab the other grip and the bike pulls me down 15 ft to the bottom of that ditch ( supposedly it's the deepest in the county 😵‍💫🙄) so I'm completely blindsided, "I just drove through here 45 mins ago wtf WTF, where'd all this water-, wtf are you doing? What's going on , why isn't this indicated to drivers, yo where's my bike" "hey man man are you ok. The colverts broke, the pipe is clogged , don't drowned on us " so after a few heated discussions with the town workers, this black dude headed to work scooped me up and brought me up to my dad's on Washburn Rd. My bike wasn't recovered for 6hrs until the flash flood finished , the town claim their drainage system works just fine but there was just too much water 🙃🤷happens 2 sometimes 3, or 4 times a year, the bike took 2 fuel flushes,3 oil flushes and 3 weeks to run again but blew the motor apart. YZF 600 thundercat 97, my first bike ... My baby maaan lol if you can't tell, I've been super depressed without my bike dude and struggling with transportation sometimes, I mean I Kno it's winter now but before I would disassemble/reassemble my bike 2-4 times a week and I Love to ride man can't get enough, and ive lost a number of close close friends that inspired me to ride and to me it's as way to connect to them and my inner self and soul And I desperately need that 2 wheel therapy at least one more time this season lol

    for people who dont have time to write down i tried list the main points your welcome*
    • Match the vin # on the bike with the vin # on the title -its normally on the neck of the bike also ensure the sellers name is same on the title
    • check the oil color and the level
    • check the tiers - look at the threads and the under tail for rubber it shows the level of care
    • check fork seals - rub your fingers on the fork if its greasy it needs to be changed
    • check chain and sprockets - check the cleanliness but mainly the consistency of the teeth, check for wear, pull the chain from back ensure there is no play
    • ask if the bike is left outside or in a garage look at the surrounding it has been in
    • check the rims for damage - ensure its not bent ect
    • reserch the bike your thinking of buying check for pros and cons of buying the brand
    • check if the bike has been in an accident - things to check (scratch patterns) eg on flaring, bar end,fork tubes, swing arm, check if its been repainted , check the engine covers , tank ,ect
    • check if it has any unnecessary wires - check power commander check if it turns on and ask about it
    • turn on the bike and check for any indicator lights
    • start the bike let it warm up and listen for any unusual noises ensure there's no leaks
    • test ride the bike - run through the gears, ensure the clutch isnt slipping
    • ask for detailed pictures
    • nigoshiate about the price
    • check if the bike has been tracked (as in on a track) - check the screws if it has been safety wired

    Another tip: Bring with you a really good small flashlight. That way you can check out hard-to-see areas. And most important: Use the flashlight to check inside the gas tank for gunk, corrosion or foreign objects.
    Last time I checked out a bike for buying, I checked the tank and found several dish washer tablets and a thick layer of crystalized gunk in the bottom. No idea about the histore behind it. No purchase that time.

    Looking for my first bike and this was probably by far the most informative I've seen regarding what to look for when buying one used. A definite no-go for me, is "I'm selling it for a buddy of mine." If the Seller's ID doesn't match the name on the title, I'm walking. Another popular one is, "I lost the title during a move." Well, most States allow you to pay a small fee by mail to get a duplicate. On maintenance, if the Seller has allowed the bike's registration and safety inspection to lapse for more than a few months then he's probably not doing the scheduled maintenance either.

      Sometimes that can be shady but also legit. Like, iv'e actually legit sold a couple vehicles for friends & also my mom who weren't mechanically inclined & had poor negotiation skills. So I could show what parts have been recently replaced & answer questions. Also recently sold a neighbors scooter because he was working lots of overtime & just didn't have the time & energy to deal with it. As long as seller is willing to let you meet the real owner. I took calls & showed people the scooter while he was at work. Then had the buyer meet seller when he had time off work....Also lots of motorcycles get parked and registration lapses. I own 2 motorcycles and 1 sits stored since I don't wanna spend the money for 2 registrations,2 insurance (no inspection here)when I can only ride 1 at a time.

    Killed it, super informative - when it warms up, you want to listen to the engine as well, not just cold. Also letting it get to temperature allows the fan to engage so you can check that off. Only other thing I can think of that I do is pulling the seat to check the wiring for anything funky, the battery for a warrantee date, and the roadside toolkit if the bike has one

  • @nunyabusiness896
    @nunyabusiness896 3 года назад +38

    An important thing to keep in mind is that outside of maybe frame damage (since the frame is tied to the bike title and a pain to deal with), almost anything on a bike can be replaced and is negotiable depending on your available time, expertise, access to a mechanic if needed, and exactly how bad each item is.
    Before we bought it, my wife's bike had leaking fork seals, a non-working rear brake, a shot dry-rotted rear tire, original factory coolant and brake fluid (he only ever changed oil), and a few other things, but the engine was strong, the tank was good, the fairings were once cracked on the left but professionally repaired and tastefully painted (the seller worked at a paint and body shop so it was kind of his thing), and all of the parts not listed were pretty much in perfect shape. So, we negotiated the repairs after getting a quote from a mechanic and offered an amount accordingly and he accepted. Fast forward a few weeks to get parts in and for the mechanic to swap everything out and we had a really good bike for $4500 that we've had no problems with since when a more pristine version would've been listed for up to $6500.

    I decided to make a personal note for my own use of what he covers in the video but I thought I’d also share with you all to use, enjoy:
    Check oil: Oil level & oil colour
    Check tyres: tyre tread, sidewall, burned rubber from burnouts
    Fork seals: rub to find liquid/oil incase in need of replacement
    Chain/sprocket: check for lose chain (1inch of wiggle, pull from back of sprocket-shouldn’t move), check cleanliness of both, and look for wear or uneven teeth on sprocket.
    Wheels: check for scratches, any dings or dents on the rim or spokes, any bends or cracks.
    Check fuel tank: has the fuel been sitting for a long time and went bad (this can create ethanol bubbles that will corrode and rust the tank which will effect the engine and cost a fortune to fix)
    Has the bike been crashed? Check fairings, bar-ends/levers, frame sliders for scratches/dents, check to see if the bike has been painted or paint corrected.
    Was the bike garage kept or stored outside? Outside storage will generally require more maintenance (check for rust, and dried out/ wear on seats)
    DO RESEARCH: get to know the bike you’re buying and what common problems the bike is known to have, when parts need serviced/replaced etc.
    Turn key/ignition on, check for any check engine warning indicators, check mileage matches as advertised
    Turn engine on let it heat up, listen for any unwarranted noises in the engine, bring to optimum temperature, let the fans kick in and check engine seals for any oil leaks etc
    TEST DRIVE: run through all the gears (clutch isn’t slipping etc), bring it up the revs, check the brakes, handling, all controls and buttons function, pull over and check again for oil leaks on seals from oil pressure
    Negotiate based on these factors: offer a lower prices and if everything is in good working order you will accept the asking price etc

    I thought this video looked pretty sketchy at first but, wow, you did a REALLY good job covering many important aspects of buying a used bike. I’ve been riding for 40-years and I was impressed with this tutorial.
    Maybe mention that a pre-warmed bike is a sketchy sign. Before going to look, ask that the bike be COLD when you get there. Check that the bike starts and runs cold first and then also later when the engine is warm. If the seller will only show the bike pre-warmed, then what is he hiding about the cold bike? Hard starting? Poor idle? Stalls easily?

    You left one very important thing out, especially if it's older than 2-3 years: the fuel tank.
    More times than I can count, people buy a bike, ride it a lot for 1-2 years, then either have a close call, a minor lowside/drop, have a friend die on a bike, have a kid, or just lose interest and get sucked into another hobby and the bike sits for years barely being ridden or maybe not ridden at all. In that time, the fuel goes bad, the ethanol creates ethanol boogers everywhere, and the tank liner will degrade and allow the tank to start rusting out (esp. if stored outdoors where rain can hit it).
    A rusted tank and a similarly fouled fuel pump can cost hundreds if not thousands to replace with OEM parts and is still a pain with aftermarket ones. A bike with a bad tank could foul all sorts of stuff in the engine and leave you with a very expensive mess. I'd put the fuel tank probably in the top 5 important things to check behind things like if the engine runs, if the frame is damaged, and even ahead of things like tires, rims, forks, and swingarms as even those are easier and more straightforward to resolve.

      @@andyffc8264 Open the filler door and get a flashlight and look around inside. If you see the liner peeling or a lot of rust, run away as fast as you can unless they're basically giving the bike away and you're prepared to replace (or extensively refurbish) the tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, and possibly some fuel injection or carb parts. I'd ask for a $1000 discount minimum for a bad condition tank and personally I'd just find another bike as I don't want to have that much hassle trying to fix it all. A bad fuel tank is also a sign of sitting a lot which means lots of other seals may be going bad and there could even be rust inside the engine on parts that are normally bathed in oil.

      Hey Shawn Sutter! Thank you very much I literally made this video because of all the potential times I could have been ripped off from buying used..It’s definitely more risky to buy from a private seller but if u know what ur doing u can get a way better deal than buying from a dealership! Dealerships gotta make their money somehow but buying new or used from a dealership they usually make sure the bike is turn key and ready to go but the cost reflects that. Glad u enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a detailed comment! Awesome🤙🏻

      @@kyla_177 Congrats on learning to ride. Bringing a more experienced rider is a great idea. Especially if your buying a used bike. Keep in mind most people baby their bikes and take amazing care of them. So buying used isnt as sketchy as a used car. Usually even if they failed to maintain the chain and sprockets this is a easy fix. Budget for new tires and don't go cheap on tires. Michelin power pilots are God tier tires for a bike. I was able to ride through a light hail storm with those one night. These tires laugh at rain and pretend it doesn't exist. Like your riding on dry ground in a full thunderstorm. Main thing when learning to ride is too choose a bike at your skill level. For a first bike if it's a sports bike I wouldn't go over a 500cc, if it's a cruiser maybe 750cc, dirt bike or enduro style 250cc. The lighter the bike the easier it is to control.

    I have plans to buy a sports bike, so I must remember to use the info from this video. Funny thing is, in the back of my head I already knew most of this, but the biggest challenge for me is always to remain rational. When I go look for a bike or a car, it's too easy to get excited and see issues as only minor. This happened with one of my bikes and my last car, had to spend some extra money after the purchase to fix lack of maintenance by the previous owner. On the other hand with my two BMW motorbikes I was very lucky, I bought one in a shop and the other from a guy on Facebook. The first in excellent condition, the other a real bargain.

    Also check for decals that are out of place or missing: usually means the bike has been dropped.
    All L series GSXR models have a front master cylinder recall, but there was no stator or rectifier problem due to Suzuki moving the rectifier for better cooling.
    Check for scratches on the swingarm spools, and check the front fork pinchbolts, those are two very common low-side indicators. Also keep an eye on the FRAME color, chromed out bikes are automatically OUT, But for example I saw a guy advertising a 2011 GSXR750 as a 2017, only the 2011 had a blue frame, NOT the 2017, low and behold it was a rebuild title, and $8k became "yeah I could do $4200" I still said no.
    Also NEVER buy a bike that is missing a power commander or some form of tuning for a full system exhaust OR a cat delete. I bought an R6 that had no tuning and a cat delete(with stock slip-on muffler), I got it home, checked the plugs and the "new plugs" that he had a receipt for and labor records for, had melted in the engine and shat out through the engine, thus blowing the engine within 50 miles of me riding it. The bike passed all the inspections in the video, lower miles for the year(8k miles for a 2008), and within those first 50 miles of riding the bike, the engine blew up due to the bike running so lean, that it melted the sparkplugs and the plugs shat out through the engine. Engines running lean will lead to overheating problems, inverse of this: the guy that likes to "home tune" could also have set the bike too rich and blow out the engine seals in the bike. So if the bike has been tuned by a reputable shop(R6=Bauce racing is a good example..ect) you are good, but if it hasnt at all been tuned, pass on the bike before you lose money. Also non-tuned bikes usually are great indicators of owners that dont know what they are doing with maintenance, if they wont spend money to make the bike run propper, they will 100% skip out on quality oil changes(my R6 guy gave me his extra oil after buying it, it was non-synthetic off amazon......live and learn..)
    Tracked bikes are USUALLY cleaner than non-tracked if the miles are BELOW 10k miles. Tracks require the riders to pass inspections, and most track guys need to be meticulous with their bikes. That said 5k track miles is 10k street miles so make sure to ask for maintenance records.
    As for bikes with loan agreements still on them, I bought my new 2017 R6 for about $3k BELOW KBB price, from a great seller who took care of the bike, built it and tuned it very well. The way to buy a bike with a loan is to meet the buyer at the bank directly to watch them pay off the bike, OR in the case they bought the bike direct from the manufacturer or used a non-local bank(yamaha actually has their own bank so I couldnt see him pay them off) Bring the seller, and the bill of sale to a NOTARY, and get it Notarized with a legally binding contract that the seller is receiving the money to pay off the loan, and the in return you are receiving the bike at the time of money exchange. If the seller wont show up to the Notary, then you know you were about to be ripped off. In my case I put a time restraint on the bill of sale with signature(upon money received, seller will pay off loan and give buyer title within 30 days), and I put a record of when I was receiving the bike, when the money was being exchanged, and what products he gave to me with the bike, each with their own signatures to notarize.
    If the seller has had their signature signed by a notary and has NOT done something in the contract, or has NOT held up their end of the notarized bargain, you can take them to the cleaners in court, get your money back, AND get your bike. This is why only legitimate sellers with good intentions will actually agree to notarizing the bill of sale in person.
    So dont give up totally on lean held bikes with loans on them, be careful, but there is a very good way to buy them, and most of the times, the guy simply wants to get out from under the loan and doesnt have the money to pay off the loan on his toy, so you can snag GREAT deals from them.

    To be honest, this is the best video I saw so by far on buying a used bike. I probably won’t watch another video after this he was bang on . The last part was on point if you pull up at the house looks dirty the bike is probably dirty.😅😂

    Something else to keep in mind is if the frame is polished or the wheels polished, they probably did that to hide, cover up damage. Unless it was a show bike only, trailer queen there is no reason to polish a frame for anything other than wrecked and frame damage. Wheels not so much, as people like to polish those for various reasons, but it is something to keep in mind, or they could have been straightened to the best of ability.

    Buying my first bike. Tons of sketch when dealing with private parties. Vid helped me ty. On the FB marketplace, imo when the seller creates a profile just for the bike he's selling I believe its a red flag. When the listing is on his actual fb page with his photos I feel much better. Age of the person is also important. An older mature adult probably took better care of it and rode it less aggressive.

    Spot on guide, just went to look at a bike as a beginner. 08' GSXR looked just like yours. Blown fork seals right of the bat, neglected chain, wierd engine clunk noise at start up and idle. I didn't even test ride it I just had a bad feeling and told the dude thank you. Even his key looked like a copy from home depot lol. Thank you for the guide!

    there's a lot of shit i wouldn't have ever even dreamed of to think of to check. and the reason i'm loving this vid so much right now is because i'm buying a bike here as soon as i can find one i like that's priced right. so seein this couldn't have been better timing.

      @@pluto3747 you want to make sure that is the bike your buying vs what the title says. What he means buy talking to the guy, he was talking to him on the phone or on the internet. Then talked to him in person. In the case of leins on title. That would mean a finance or loan company has a lein on the payoff of the bike, and even though the person selling the bike name is on the title, that means he doesnt own it until the lein is paid off in full, and a new title would then be printed without a leinholders name on it as well.
