Selling my bike....advice
 

Ok ok, so its not quite a bike but it has two wheels! After my attempt at the ownership of an sv650 falied last year I now ride on four wheels. So, my much loved little scooter(125 mind...) needs to be sold.

Its been sitting out my front for almost 10 months now. In that time i've riden it twice to check it still works though its been a while since that happened. What I am concerned about is internal damage because of this that i might not have realised.

Can anyone give me some advice as to what to look or check for before placing the bike in an ad for sale. It was due its second service just as I took delivery of my car so I never got round to that. It also has a puncture which I must have picked the very last moment I rode the damn thing. Its in dire need of a good clean too which I will do next week.

Anyway, i'll stop blabbering and hopefully this thing will sell and the person who buys it wont ring me a week later complaining it doesnt work!

Thanks all

check the carb for anything clogging it up and just give it a general clean you could take the variator apart and have a look at that maybe change the spark plug aswell i doubt anything will be that bad just give it a good old clean :lol:

The petrol may not be too good being sat for that long. Check the oil and start it up and let it run for a while. Brakes may have seized being stood for that long so they may need a good looking at. Throttle, choke (?), brake (?) cables will probably need lubing as well.

Cheers guys, i'll give it the good once over next week before making it for sale. Thanks again
