Hi Guys,

 

Need some advice. I am currently looking at a second hand bike direct from owner. However, what are the important parts/areas to look for when buying such bikes? I googled abit but those info are for sports bike, any input from scooter riders (esp GTS 200) would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

regards,

 

Melvyn

I am responding in general, to all scooters:

 

(I still think that if you are new to bikes, it's best to bring a more experienced friend - and one who has actually ridden a scooter - to go with you).

 

1. Check if the the radiator is leaking. Radiator fins are very fine, and can be damaged causing leaks. Radiator replacements are expensive. Usually, to know, u would have to leave it at a parking lot overnight and then check if they are drips on the floor the next day. This also applies to checking if there is engine oil drip as well. So, if you can only do a quick check, swipe your hands under the bottom fairing of the bike. You will know whether it's leaking. Texture of radiator coolant and engine oil is also different - so you would be able to tell what's leaking.

 

2. Check the gaskets and seals of the engine. If you see a grime and oil around the seals coming out of the gaps, it's not good. Replacement of gaskets is costly as you have to dismantle the engine block - and ALL seals have to replaced (even those that were OK in the beginning) as seals can only be assembled ONCE (you can't put back a disassembled gasket).

 

3. Check the CVT - this is the drive train of the bike. If you are technically inclined (I am), and you have the tools, you can dismantle the CVT cover. You can then inspect the condition of the clutch as well as variator, and also the belt drive.

 

4. Check the disk brake pad wear, alignment of disk rotors (by spinning the wheels), and also test ride then E-brake a few times separately with only the front and then only the back - to check if your brakes are still functioning wheel.

 

5. Do a test ride - listen to the sound of the engine (is there any knocking sound?) and also pay attention to the feel of the CVT drive - you can tell if there is something wrong (but not if you have not ridden a scooter before since you have no experience as to what constitutes a smooth drive - thus the importance of bringing an experienced scooter friend).

 

6. Ride and see if the bike steers straight. If it doesn't it can indicate bent handlebars, bent forks, wheels that have gone out of alignment.

 

7. Remove the engine oil cap. There is a dipper stick. Dip the stick in the oil, and see as well as feel the texture of the oil. This would tell you whether the fella maintains his bike regularly or he has over-extended the use of the engine oil (thus causing harm to the engine). Again, you need experience to know how to feel the difference.

 

8. Bring a voltmeter, and check the battery condition.

 

Disclaimer : This list is not exhaustive., and doesn't cover every area that needs to be checked.

All the best with your purchase bro! :)
