Am considering buying a second-hand Uly with 15,000 miles on it - what should have been done with that kind of mileage apart from normal servicing? Looks like a nice bike, one owner, just want to know if there's anything specific I need to find out? |

Looks like a nice bike, one owner, just want to know if there's anything specific I need to find out? just the usual oil change history,wheel bearings ,front disc thickness/pads ,exhaust condition,make sure the gear box shifts ok (dont know of any issues with uly trans though) ,headstock bearings...oh & that you can touch the ground  ...whichway?

Sorry - I didn't think it was such a stupid question? I thought £4k for a Uly with 15,000 miles, full luggage and a new Remus was a bad buy, but just wanted some helpful opinion So apart from bearings (wheels and headstock) nothing else out of the ordinary that 'goes' around that mark then. Thanks Whichway |

Uly with 15,000m - what to look for? One with less miles and less 'extras'

i recently bought my Uly with 10k miles and it runs sweet... as long as its been looked after - i dont see any issues with 15k miles... i ran a recent poll on the us badweather forum and these guys have got some high miles on Uly's and they seem to go very strong...highest mileage i think was 93k. go on, buy it... its half price from new and will give you a permanent grin...

Check out the Nallin site about the inadequacies of the XB drive side main bearing. I don't know enough about engines to argue with his conclusions. |
