hi brothers out there,

im getting a xr4 soon! need some help in what to look out for. during the viewing i have checked:

-the chain and sproket
-front and rear suspension(how to tell if rebuilding is required)
-the engine(millage and FC to see if it is running 'fine')

things im not quite sure:

-engine if FC aprox 21km/l is it a symbol that it is healthy or there is more ways to check
-how to know if the timing chain is 'off' i think this is the more common problem faced by xr4 riders

Additional:

if got more things you guys are experienced in can feed back to me.

thank u all for contributing, good or bad comments no problem. JUST SHOOT. lets keep it open!

can call me at 91273995 if want to talk bout it too. Eden here. cheers, ride safe.

i think to check the EO comsumption is more important than FC

21km/L look good

ask AJ, he knows all about XRs, he eats drinks & breathes XRs, i think he aso deals in used XRs, and probably has a list of all the riders in sg who own XRs, when the ppl over at honda wanted to launch the XR, AJ was their technical consultant. AJ has been changing XRs as often as u change ur clothes. see AJ is aso a magician, he cn transform an XR into any other m/cycle, mayb even a Ducati D16RR.

dun ask me, i kno nuthin bout bikes..........
