CaperBaz Posted January 5, 2012 #1 Posted January 5, 2012 I am looking at purchasing a used Venture. What things should I be looking at before I put my money down? One of the bikes that I am looking at is a 2003 with 220,000 km's (136000 miles) on it, is there lots of life left in this bike?
bongobobny Posted January 5, 2012 #2 Posted January 5, 2012 As long as it was properly maintained then yes, you should get many more miles from it. What is the asking price on it?
XV1100SE Posted January 5, 2012 #3 Posted January 5, 2012 Welcome to the forum ! Read this thread for known/common issues - http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1067 Biggest thing is probably the rear shock. Since the bike has been around for a while, test all the electrical and ask the current owner what mods he has done. Would be nice to see service records (valve's adjusted, regular oil changes?)
