i am thinking of buying 05 1000rr is there any thing i should look out for

 

Not really any major issues,its a pretty solid bike. They did have a few issues with stators going bad. They extended the warranty from one year to 5 years for the stator. I've got 16,000 miles on mine and no issues so far. But either way, a stator isn't that hard to change and if you do it yourself, it would be cheap to do. I bought an extra one on ebay for 40 bucks. I don't want the downtime in case mine does go out. I would rather just do it myself versus letting my bike sit at a dealership for 2 weeks.

Other than that, its been an awesome bike. But, with any used bike, make sure it was maintained correctly. Any bike that was neglected will give you issues down the road. Check the normal things, chain, tires, brakes. Just do a really close inspection. you can usually tel the bikes that are kept clean and maintained, and the ones that have just been recently washed so they can sell it.

 

That color combo has been known to induce nausea

I got my bike with 6,500 miles on it and have almost doubled that now. Not a single problem so far, just normal maintenance. I'm really happy with it, aside from a slightly hard seat (which can be replaced with a corbin, etc.).

 

I see a handful of these every week I ride. I've only heard of a few bad experiences.

 

treat it good and you should be okay, its a pretty solid bike..

 

change your seat to a 06-07 ,,i took squid's advice on it,,,believe the squidman,,it's softer on your rear end.....30-60 bucks on ebay

 

Or I'll quick swap with my buddies 06 when he isn't paying attention

I'll have to sit on his again and see how much of a difference I notice. Even a little bit better would be worth it, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the advice
