5150banshee Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Stand it up and look from bumper to grab bar make sure all the frame tubes aren't damaged also a arms. When I go with my buddy's to buy bikes I also do a compression test to see where the bike is at. Good luck!

If the seller isn't willing to let you do a comp or leak down test turn and run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blynch89 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Make sure lights work, tail and brake light, when its running make sure both pipes are equally hot and both pumping out exhaust. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadbeat Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 what if the the seller doesnt know what a leakdown test is, so you explain that you wanna pull the pipes and carbs off and compress the motor at 6psi for 6mins, and if it doesnt pass its a time bomb and you`ll offer him sweet fuck all? i know as seller what my reaction would be lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 If the guy is willing to have you come back and hang out and ride, I'm sure he has nothing to hide and would be a straight up guy. Let's see some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 So all you fucks would let someone tear your shit apart to do a leakdown?? I can see a comp test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 So all you fucks would let someone tear your shit apart to do a leakdown?? I can see a comp testid tell them, if it passes price goes up 100 bucks for working on the bike. If it fails it's not for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
