:nerd: As I continue my hunt for an FZ 1 (Gen 1) I have a few questions I am hoping y'all can help me with. When I go check out the bikes:
I am fairly mechanically inclined but what should I be specifically looking for, looking out for? such as....
Mileage, Sprocket/chain wear, oil leaks I think will be obvious. But how do you check more subtle things (suspension wear, trans, carb probs, less obvious abuse etc)? Other stuff?.....
What questions should I be asking the owner?
If I take it to a shop for an inspection what should I ask them to look at? What is reasonable to pay the shop?
If this is in an inappropriate type of post for this forum lemme know and I will happily pull it off. BTW I am about 5'10" 190lbs:nerd:
