how many miles you guys getting out of your bikes befor any major work has to be done? the reason i am asking is because i found a 2001 with 18,000 on it. the guy is asking $4900. i was going to offer him $4300 its the going rate for 2001 a f4i in the area from what i have found on cycletrader and some other places do you think this is good. the plastics look perfect and it has a two bros exhaust and a tinted wind screen not sure of brand also comes with helmet jacket and gloves prob need to get a new helmet but it will be ok. i dont like to use others helmets.

 

Price sure seems pretty high IMO. Got a stock 03 w/ less then 11k miles for less then 4k. There is really no way to say how much you’re going to have to put in it. Really just depends on how well it was cared for.Expect at least maintenancestuff because that is known items that you'll need: Air filter every 10-12k miles ($35), sprocket/chainevery 6-? miles depending onset-up and rider($160+), Oil & Filterevery 2-3k miles($30-50) and of course all the unexpected that it may need. I have only bought aftermarket parts. Nothing has really gone wrong, other then needing a new chain.

 

That seems awfully high for an 01 with that many miles. Anyway, I have 20,800 miles on mine, runs perfectly fine no major work done or needed at this time. A person you'd probably want to ask is thirdgenlxi though lol. He broke 100,000 miles on his not too long ago.

 

Sounds a bit high in price. Offer of 3500 sounds a bit more real. I paid 3500 for an 02 with 3800 miles on it.

 

at 16K, 32K, etc...he needs to do valve clearance check. they are pricey.

 

thats basically it..........price does seem a little steep for the year and mileage. i got my 01 with 4k for 3900.

 

i just hit 14k and im on my stock chain, still in awesome shape. 5 sets of tires. 1 set of brake pads. 2 oil changes. And she is running like the day i got her if not better.

 

Yea the price does seem a lil steep... I'd try and work it down to at least $3800 or so. If it's been maintained and treated right, don't worry about the miles.... F4i will last damn near forever. Mine just turned 104,000 the other day, no major work at all ever needed, and barely even any little stuff (clutch cable, CCT, rectifier/regulator). Everything else is just maintenance. Still runs and sounds like brand new!

 

thirdgen- does your dash read 100,xxx or did it "roll over "?

 

It rolled over to all zeros....
