Title: Buying a used 2017 or 2018 FXS - feedbacks on issues to check welcomed !
Post by: Moto7575 on January 18, 2019, 05:35:38 PM

Hi !

I consider buying a used 2017 / 2018 with  low mileage - seen several offers on the market. Any owner here ? What sort of small problem / points would you recommend me to check ?

Most of it is similar to checking any used bike. Look for any warping or damage, check the fork seals, check the brakes, check the tires.

Test the charger, make sure when it plugs in you get a blinking green light and no errors.

Turn the bike on and check for errors and warning lights.

And of course take it on a test ride if you can.

I have a one-year old 2018 S. No problems other than a squealing front brake, which can be fixed with an application of brake squeal spray or just replacing the original brake pads with EBC brand.  :)  I would agree with caza's recommendations, too.
