Do i buy it

I've a mate selling a 2006 model XT660X with 850 miles on the clock. Its immaculate as you expect as he's not ridden it. He wants �2500 so It looks a good buy so thought i would come on the forum to ask.
PS i posted this elsewhere on the site and didn't get a response.

Seems a fair price,
I'm just about to sell mine(never thought I would)
Its a year older, with 19k, lots of mods and was looking for a little under that
NOT A ADVERT
It must be like New, I'd snap it up

What are you waiting for?

Sounds a steal at that price. Go for it!

I guess all those replies say it all, thanks for that. So i'm only now waiting to give him the cash. The deal is sold as seen but he will MOT it. I will service it but all bikes have thier foibles and known issues, so if its been stood is there anything that i should watch out for?

If stood, I'd want new oil in it, new brake fluid, coolant and fuel as a priority. I'd clean out any air filters and then pretty much see what happened once battery was charged and ready.... check tyres and give it a good once over, checking things like fork seals etc.. ride it and see.

The last time you posted you did not mention the price!!! Yes, if it has been stored in a dry place then go for it. You need to change the fluids as already mentioned and maybe the tyres will be a bit hard too. Lube and WD40 everything like cables etc and you should be good to ride. Have fun!!
