should I get a dirt bike?

I like to check for linkage bearing play by lifting the bike until the weight is off the rear suspension but the tire is still touching, then lift the bike. There should be minimal slop between the shock at full extension and the tire lifting off the ground.
These bearings can be difficult and expensive to change.

Haha I know right, once you go 2t you never go back haha. Yeah make sure you check everything everyone's said..most importantly , how it runs. Make sure it gets test rode to see how it feels and look for wear on parts. If it has wear like for example the chain or sprocket or tires or anything broken like levers or whatever. Use that to help bring the price down. My friend rides a kx125 and he says it's nice .. Anyways good luck. I'm 15 and trust me bikes are a hole lot of fun
