Is there a "Silverwing check-out" list?

I'm going to pick up my Silverwing tonight. I haven't paid a dime or signed anything yet, so there's still time to back out if I find something shady.

The seller owns a scooter store downtown that sells Chinese scooters. This is his personal ride.

He said it was just serviced, and mentioned that the fluids were changed. He's offering a 30-day warranty on the powertrain at no charge, "because he is so confident in the bike."

I looked for a sight glass for the oil, so I could check how dirty it is, but I didn't see one. Apparently, Honda used an old-fashioned dipstick for this one. (I just found that out)

The brake pad thickness looked good, from what I could see in the dark with my flashlight.

Tire tread appears to be 50% or better.

I've asked for the service history, manual, and spare key.

I'll check the title to make sure it isn't a salvage or rebuilt title. (he said it isn't)

(brake fluid and hoses, forgot to check those)

The seller is a big fat dude, at least 350 lbs. I guess the rear shock might be about done.

What else should I check out before plunking my hard-earned cash down?

If this turns out well, maybe we can make a proper checklist out of it, and sticky it in the maintenance forum...

Thanks!

Corrosion on the wheels,

Scratches/scrapes due to falling or slide.

Check the engine oil, (dipstick), when the bike is on the centre stand.

All lights work, horn etc. Ensure the bike starts with a nice strong start. In fact stop start a couple of times to check out the battery.

If you do buy. Remove the under seat light to prevent battery dranage due to not closing the seat!!!!

Good luck.

The shocks are adjustable (usually by hand) so you should check their setting. Did he ride solo? A "big fat dude" may be less riding solo than others riding double. It sounds like you know what to look for. Good luck.

Check for forgotten Krispy Kreme doughnuts under the seat!
