Buying a used dirt bike can save you a lot of money over purchasing a new one. In this video I cover some common issues and things to look for when making your decision and hopefully save you some money and headaches down the road.

My son and I are going to buy his first dirt bike tomorrow I was a little nervous purchasing a used bike but after this video I feel like I have a better what to look for list. I ride street bikes but never rode or even been on a dirt bike so the issues are similar but yet not. Thanks for the video I feel confident I will either buy or walk away with knowledge gained here! Excellent!

Thanks for the primer. I found this video to be concise and accurate as well as informative. Once again thanks Buba. I definitely learned the hard way but I got lucky about half the time. I got a 450 71 Ducatti as a project bike and was able to fix and ride it for $250 A great bike that I rode for two years. I bought a 72 360 Alpina Bultaco for a $100 spent on it and ended up giving it away.

This is a great video with a lot of useful advice, and I would also be very carful buying a used dirt bike, If the seller can kick it and it starts but when you kick it and it won't, Don't buy it, even if he says you just have to get used to kicking it or do it a certain way, when I first got into motocross bikes and dirt bikes, a guy sold me one that looked great and every time he kicked it, it fired right up, but I couldn't kick it and it start at all so he talked me into buying t saying I just needed to get used to it, when I got it home, I kicked it 1000 times and never started, even tried roll starting it with and nothing, took it to a mechanic and they quoted me over 1000 dollars on it to fix it, I cut my losses and bought another one from an honest person. I know this from experience

@hardrider5905 10 жыл бұрын
Lots of bikes really do have their own preferred start routine, just because you got ripped by your mc hanic doesn't mean the seller was stooging you, he did start the bike yes? I've seen ppl use the choke the wrong way, use it when it wasn't needed so flooded the engine, try to start a bike with no fuel, kick themselves to death after they forgot to refit the plug cap, i could go on and on, dirtbikes and 'shit happens' are synonymous.

Very good video, I'm a custom fabricator and motorcycle mechanic and you definately cover all the points to check. Great video for the new or seasoned bike buyer! One other point is crankcase oil condition and air filter. If the air filter is caked in debris, crap all in the airbox or the oil is tar black that is a decent sign of how the owner maintained it also, just like the brake fluid color. Also on a 4 STROKE blue smoke at start up, probably valve seals, blue smoke always= big money, BEWARE

Nice video but the first thing i look at are major parts that can't be replaced or are very expensive to replace like the chassis, check for any cracks, especially around the neck area, check for any dents in the chassis also, check the engine for any cracks in the casings or repair work, check the chrome part of the forks for any nicks, check the coolant, ive bought bikes before that have just had water in the cooling system which depending on how long its been in there for can create corrosion and a build up of sludge, also when you drain the water and replace with coolant you will usually have to replace the water pump seal ( if coolant starts leaking out the little hole in the bottom of the water pump ) check the oil, check the engine for any leaks, check to see if the bike is blowing any smoke if its a 4 stroke, check the chassis number to make sure it is the same year the seller claims it to be, make sure to get a receipt with the chassis no. included.

Helpful video. I bought a 450 last year and the seller was friendly and honest about the bike, the bike also was incredibly clean. You will quickly notice if the seller really cares about bikes or just wants to make some money. Ask what kind of fuel and oil he/she used and try to use that in the future for extended life of the engine. Ask how to do regular maintenance in general.

Good Tips For Sure. A Few things that I would add would be also check the radiators to make sure that they are not bent up and or leaking. Another thing to check is the rotors. Make sure they arent beat up or have a lip on the edge of them and that they are in good condition. Also when it comes to break pads he said that they were around $30 but you can easily spend more from a dealer. for the pads i would suggest getting them off of ebay. i have found front and rear pads for as low as $12.

Helpful for the most part. You didn't really talk about tires though. I've seen a lot of used bikes on the market with the rear tire worn down pretty bad. For most average riders they probably won't be able to feel the difference between different tread patterns and compounds. But its important to select the right tire for your track surface whether it be sandy, hard packed clay, or mud.

I love that bike. Those 230's are great play bikes, and are practically impossible to break under normal use. If I could have a second bike alongside my kx250 it would be a crf230.
