What shall i look out for when looking at a ped?

Hi peeps looking to get the gilera runner 50 for my first ped just wondering what i should look out for obviously all electrics working but is there anythink else and do you think a gilera runner 50, 55 plate 4500 miles is worth £800 cheers :banana:

 

yea well worth it check things as youve said electrics
does leccy start work, indicators headlight, break light
forks, is there any play in them is there any play in the engine movement (sideways) do the shocks go down and then back up or do they stay down(soz dont no technical terms) is there any oil on the forks,
breaks take bike of stand walk with it press front break if bike comes 2 a halt all good then back breaks the same start the bike up let it tick over is ther anything that sounds like it shoudlnt sound do the frame numbers and number plate match log book
go for a little test ride look for obvious things
check tyre tread
cant think of others right now but im sure people will be able to add to it
dont be scared to point out any problems its your money so your choice and dont rush into buying it
good luck and hope all goes well

 

Thanks for help bait!
Also i think he said it has the standard exhaust on but he has a racing one seperate im just wondering will i just need to bolt this on or will it require some working doing eg jetting?

Thanks again Jack.

 

im pretty sure ull need new rollers in not 100% on the jet but im sure some one will tell you soon enough :tup:

 

I dont think its worth 800 mate, maybe 650 unless its absolutely mint :tup:

 

yh the above is all good info with your budget m8 u could have a real cracker so realy take your time checkin the bike over and at the end of the day the seller wants your money so realy check it over m8

Thanks for help guys been lookin on ebay and etc and 800 seems to be the going rate for this bike around my area if it isnt mint then i wont bother going to look tomoro :banana:
