Greetings from a newbie who's been lurking here since last summer. That's when my wife started hinting at getting a smaller bike than the Beemer she's riding now. When she saw an MP3 500, she fell in love.
So now I've found a 2009 400 with just over 1000 miles and will be looking at it Thursday. I've learned a lot about steering notches, belts, sliders, and a lot more here, but I'd like some advice about what to check out when looking at a prospective new bike. What should I shake, probe, poke, wiggle, and bounce when I look at the 400? Other than the normal stuff like oil, coolant, tires, etc., what other things should I look at? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
