Things to look for while buying the super sport bike
Checking the spark plug- An examination of the spark plug of the bike will give valuable information about the performance of the bike. Taking out the plug and looking for the different colors formed on its surface will let one know about the condition of the engine. If the color of the plug is black rich or white weak then it is normal but an oily plug indicates a problem also if there is aluminum deposit on the electrode then it is sign of the engine detonation.
Compression tests are not usually allowed while buying the super sport bike. However, if one can check it one must look for the fact that the cylinder compression is in the range of 5% of each other and it matches with the workshop manual. If the compression is not satisfactory then one will have to go in for refilling the pistons, which costs more.
Crankshaft examination reveals more about the condition of the engine. Any damage to the crankcase affects the performance of the engine. In order to determine that the crankshaft runs to its proper specification one can start the motor in the cold position and check if there are any unusual sounds like rattling or knocks.
Carburetors are an important part to check while buying the super sports bike. The carburetor slides must move smoothly up and down. Their improper maintenance
Would cost the buyer a lot of money to replace them? The improper sliding would result in bad carburetion of the bike.
Checking the coolant system of the bike will make the perfect deal. The engine of the super sports bike is cooled by pure water and no other coolants are specified. Water corrodes the cooling system and thus one must look for minimum corrosion in the cooling system of the bike. There are factors to check like frame, suspension, shock linkage, drive train, and wheels and brakes.
Things to check while selling the bike
One must provide the fine picture of the bike while selling it to the customer. A photo of the bike from the angles will let the buyer know better about its condition. The maintenance details of the bike must be provided to the buyer so that it stands a better chance of selling.
