Just bought her today :thumbup:!
2007 FZ6 with 4322 miles, has sliders, but was unfortunately dropped before the sliders were installed. Talked the guy down to $3000!
I am concerned about a few little things though. First off, I noticed these two hoses (or one cut hose) towards the bottom of the bike. I asked him why there were cut hoses under the bike, but he claims that he never cut any hoses and that they are probably some type of overflow lines? He is the original owner so I wasn't sure if that was true or not. He claims that it doesn't over heat, and that he rode it without problems.
Second issue is that the bike makes a slight rattling noise from the rear while riding. I asked him what it was, but he said the chain might need lubing. He's never had any problems with it though and always did an oil change every year. Uses Mobil1 filters.
Third issue: I had trouble finding neutral when I went to park the bike. The guy told me that it's fairly common to have to slightly release the clutch (just a tad) before trying to go into the neutral. Is that normal? He did mention unplugging a wire so that the bike can start in gear (in case it were to stall on the highway) so I'm not sure if that's related.
For $3000, I figured it was still a good deal. I had trouble walking away. Hope this hose wasn't cut to mask a problem .
