Morning everyone,
I'm going to look at an 1150GS this afternoon. It looks great in the pictures i've been sent, so i'm prepared to jump on a train to make a closer inspection.
I've bought enough bikes in the past to know the major generic things to look for. However, i'd hate to miss something obvious specific to the GS.
All I can think of (in no particular order) is...
1. Ticking from the left hand cam chain tensioner
2. Final drive - any issues/leaking/replacement
3. Play in the real wheel hub
4. ABS - is it fitted, does it work?
5. Oil changes in the transmission - when was it last done?
Are there any other GS-specific things I should be looking for?
All help appreciated!
Cheers
Mike
