In SG got people provide service on checking used bike?

[Casual biker]

I’m currently eyeing SDR SE on carousell but thanks to limited knowledge, don’t know much on how to check on 2nd hand bike. Been doing research on YouTube but prefer to bring a professional to check the bike. 

So anyone knows any company or personnel who provide such service on checking a bike condition or past histories?

Buying from Owner directly have it's good and bad..

Good would be the slightly better price.

Bad are issues that's comes after the handover. 

Shops have lemon law to cover buyer for (non consignment) problems with engine/gearbox..  or at least shop can have warranty period written on the sales agreement.

Bike don't have PPI inspection services that I know of. 

since U getting KTM, you can check with DW if they have PPi for their bikes.

At least they can check system diagnostics with the computer.

Newer bike like cars also lots of electronics these days and the sensors tends to cause issues.. 

Bike's mechanical parts are easy to replace, it's those issues with electronics where U may not know which sensor or plug got issues..  1 by 1 to trace and check, gotten take real long time & $$ if asking shop to do..

 

If your target bike have regular shop to service, at least can check on wear& tear replacement via receipts..

Next is forums to check from owners and things to check for (as you mentioned)

The saving $$ from shops is normally used for parts replacement or towing services...

 

Good luck with your purchase!!
