[QUOTE="Mihylo33, post: 195688, member: 408"] The bike should look clean and be free of any dirt. Like ossa said the big things to watch out for are the suspension leaks like he mentioned and wheel wobble. Grab the front and rear wheel seperatly and shake side to side. If the wheels give a little before the rest of the bike moves then it needs bearings somewhere. It will be noticeable especially if you bring your friend with working knowledge. In the event it isn't spotless and the sprockets are worn it is usually a sign the bike is in need of repair or maintenance. Everything you have to do to make it in good condition should knock about $100 off the $1500 price. Example: needs wheel bearings -100 Needs fork seals -100 Needs grips -0 Needs brake or clutch levers -50 Needs tires -150 Broken plastics -100 Sprockets and chain -$150 Don't beat the guy up but don't be sucker for the " it's always done that" or "it's no big deal" That being said the crf is a tough bike and I would expect it to be in ready to ride condition. Its also an ideal bike for you to ride well up until your racing career starts. :thumb: Good luck. [/QUOTE]
