I'm buying an F4i on wednesday and I was wondering if you guys had any tips on buying, like problems & things to watch out for?
I'm driving like 4 hours to get it & I'm leaving wednesday morning to get it.

 

take a friend that knows a little more about bikes. thats what I do everytime
I buy a used bike, plus you will have someone to help you load and unload it

 

I don't really know anyone that has alot of knolage of bikes.

 

where are you picking it up?

 

Getting it in MA

 

whos bike rich's from 508? its pretty clean.

 

Yup thats the one. So it's a good bike?

 

You should find someone to take with you to look the bike over. Obviously your clueless. Ask for pictures and descriptions of everything about the bike, so nothing "surprises" you after you drove 4 hrs to look at it.

I usually don't travel any farther than 2 hrs to look at a bike, because you drive 4hrs to look at this bike and its junk, your gonna be pissed but more than likely buy it because you just drove 4 hrs and dont wanna go home empty handed. Find out all the details now.....have em meet halfway.

 

Ask him not to start the motor until you get there, make sure it's cold so you can listen for engine noise when started...If it clacks like crazy for more than 2-3 seconds...pass on it...
