Hey everyone,
This weekend I am looking at picking up my first bike and I dont really think you can always trust when someone says always taken care of. I as just curious as to what things should be checked/changed after i get the bike back to my place.Also any other things that should be done right away? Thanks alot.

It seems like once you have the bike home is a little late to be finding out whether he took care of it.

But some of the things you should check immediately are tire wear and proper inflation, brake pads, fork seals, chain tension. Ask him when he last changed the oil, brake fluid, plugs, air filter, coolant, fork oil.

 

right that is a valid point. I guess what i meant was should i change the oil and plugs and all that but it depends when it was last done. Thanks alot!

 

Maybe have a buddy you trust ride it to check if the brakes feel right and stuff like that. If you are new, you may not know what things should feel like.

 

Hello & Welcome!!

I take very good care of my bike....
