Get it cheaper with rusty spokes.

After reading this forum for quite a while now I can't really think of any glaring faults to look for. It's keithblade said, it's a pretty rugged bike.

I guess look for the usual stuff like worn sprockets/chain, dented rims, scratches, a service manual with stamps in it - that sort of stuff.

The regulator rectifier is the only thing that sticks out on the older bikes, but even that is probably sorted by now

Good luck :)

As above really, plus look out for possible saggy shocks on 10K+ bikes. However, I'd add that none of the points mentioned should stop you from buying a machine, they are all (even the rec/reg) fairly simple to put right - just make sure you factor it into the price you offer.

:smilies0944: hunting down a good 'un.

Thanks , I know all the obvious things to look for just wanted to hear of any hidden dangers,will let you know when i get sorted

As i have owned 2 of the early 660 x models can i assume the fueling issues have been sorted for the tenere ?

This is the only thing really. To the extent that if you offered me a bike with 20,000 miles on and a box-fresh aftermarket shock, it would probably be a better buy than one with half the mileage and the OE shock.
