Buying a Vintage
geoff in almonte:
Hi All
Remember last February I initiated a thread (short lived) abut Shopping for a Vintage?
Well I'm done shopping, I'm buying.
A 2008 Skunk model - upgrades include tubeless EV wheels and suspenders - front & back.
Less than 20K KM (12000 miles in 'Murcan).
It's going into the shop for a safety inspection (lights, tires, brakes) on friday.
I am planning to ask the shop to check/adjust the charging system, FI, TPS & valves.
Oil & filter were done in the spring.
Is there anything in particular with this machine that I should have them inspect?
Thx

If it's a genuine skunk you'll want to see if the descenting recall has been completed.

Yea, make sure the hose and clamps on the in-tank fuel pump have been replaced. If not, it eventually WILL leave you stranded.

Good call!
I had to do that on my EV - it left me stranded in BF PA. How soon we forget!
Thx!
