Was thinking of buying new maybe... or at least from a dealer rather than privately. May pay a premium but prefer to have a warranty of some kind. I dont really know what you mean by swingarm play (I know what a swingarm is... but wouldnt know whats excessive play), side casings? that would be the sides of the engine? or what? where abouts are those on a bike?
Handy tips youve got clearly, but im more of a layman than a mechanic, any chance you can explain a little more?
