Used GSXR questions - mileage/age related
I have a potential trade for my car (it's posted in the classifieds).
It is a 2001 GSXR1000. The overall condition of the bike is pretty good. I am concerned about the mileage though. The bike has 35k miles. The bike is on its second owner. He has had the bike only for the last 3k miles. The previous owner had a good service history of the bike but I am concerned about things failing that a service might not address.
At 35k what should I look for on the bike that should have been replaced (besides chain, sprockets and tires)?
How long are the head stock bearings good for? Wheel bearings? Fork bushings? Clutch?
How should I inspect the bike? Should I cough up the cash for a Suzuki dealer to check it out? Do bike dealers have used bike evaluations?
Any help would be appreciated.
