wild foamy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 chain and sprockets, wheel bearings, wheel tread, shocks (check for pitting, leaks e.t.c), check calipers for leaks, brakes are functioning, the electricals are working, as long as your bike is in pretty good shape you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
