solocycles Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 New to the forum and looking for a little input. Getting pretty close to pulling the trigger on an 06' Strat S with 8600 miles on it from a dealer. Previous owner put pipes and just about every piece of add-on chrome.(engine guards, bag guards, running lights). The bike is very clean exceptfor the windshield that has several gouges in the plastic and chrome. (I plan on replacing it). Is there anything specific I should check out prior to purchase? I have been reading about this bike for about the last month or so and seems like a great ride. No service history so I would change engine oil right off the bat. Thanks for any suggestions.

TattooZ Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Marty, If there are aftermarket pipes make sure there is a power commander, and if not buy one and have it dialed in. Also check the tires, I suspect there isn't a whole lot of tread left. I just bought an 08 w pipes for 9 grand US w 6800 miles use that as your baseline if you're in the USA. Happy motoring!
