Based on my limited knowledge, quite a few things could go wrong with a less ridden motorcycle if not taken care off properly -

1. Prolonged periods of zero riding leads to gasoline destruction which is harmful primarily for the carb. Gasoline is a composite of water and acids, so prolonged periods of non riding could break it down and the acids may harm the inners and fuel lines, not to forget choked carbs. (Need no explanation on that)
2. If optimum tyre pressure is not maintained, it may lead to cracking of tyres due to the motorcycles weight. Not worried about tyres going brittle since you mentioned it was stored underground.
3. Engine losing its viscocity or even thickening up
4. Oil seal may dry out and cause leakages
5. The chain - less said the better since with less / no lube that would be the first to go kapoot
6. Battery gets charged through the coil (do not remember the exact name off hand) however with a motorcycle doing only about 90 a month I wonder how much juice there would be. Was the battery charged regularly is a question you may wanna ask
7. Underground storage - Was the area well ventilated though since in 8th standard I was taught that fungi thrive in cool moist areas. You may wanna keep a watch out.

Do not get me wrong but I have no intention of discouraging you. You may wanna check for these pointers, check the servicing record of the bike if that was done regularly since there is a day interval to that too. If you find all is intact that you may have pretty slick machine on your hands for you to love and enjoy. All the best bro

I do fuel tank to fuel tank plus I keep a track on fuelly.com. The benefit of fuelly is that you can choose to do a partial fuel up and then the next time you tank up, the mileage is calculated accordingly.

Hahaha. I really dont know the technical aspects of a bike dude. Ask me about a human body though, i can tell you a lots of interesting stuff(i am a physio)
I am not ashamed to admit that i am a noob. Its a gradual learning process and i guess xbhp is one of the best places for that. Thanks for the clarification

Everyone starts as a noob Just don't takes jokes personally, and concentrate on the learning process Cheers.

Hey! Not taking in in any other manner than it was said in. I know you said it in a friendly way
And i am gaining a lot from the knowledge you people have! Mean it!
Cheers mate:thumbup:

Ok, I read the rest of the backlog now. So you advise us about treatment for our backs, and we prescribe treatment for your bike Deal!!

Great one man. I didn't notice them though until you fix the puzzle. How much should I pay for? Body is scratchless, Tyres as good as new, engine was smooth and there was recent service just couple of weeks back.

I know that I could find the service records in user manual which gives the free/paid service coupon. This is what you're referring too as you mean the service records right??


And its Magneto is what you meant.

Ummm 72k is quite high for 13 model
And insurance's value would be around 67k
Any thing between 62 to 65k would be a great deal [emoji111]

This is the pic of the bike. Do let me know if something is weird.

Is the paint peeling off from the muffler/down tube is quite normal at 3k odo and two years ? (Registered Oct'13)
Did they had any know issues in those production batch? I have mentioned the vin and engine number for reference


He is stubborn at 70k. Should I ignore the deal?

issue in 12 and 13 batch of NS is vibrations weird chuk2 noise from front fork(i've seen only 4 or 5 cases now having same prob [emoji52]) [emoji28]
Bike looks new
65k would be good deal

Bhai the bike seems pretty well kept in the pics however it could also be a result of a good wash and a polish. The tyres seem to have a lot of kms left in them. The paint turning brown on the muffler is something I have on my bike too and also all NSs I have seen out here, so I guess thats pretty normal. Cant say for sure if there were any production issues in the 2013 batch, folks here who have a '13 model would be able to advise better on this.

If folks on here say that there were no production related issues, you put it through a thorough inspection and it comes out clean then you would need to be making a call - if you find that you have a connection when you ride it and there are not the minutest of niggles you could go in for it.

Well kept machines will be priced higher than the going market rate most of the times since the owner has taken that special care however in India most of the times, sadly, people try to pass off abused machines as well kept ones.

BTW you could have mine for 72K

Any decode of mfg date from chassis number?

Chassis MD2A36FZXDCG29***
Engine JLZCDF22***

This was registered in Q4 2013. So, I beliveve this would have best of both worlds (production/qulaity issues being fixed after first few batches and value enginneeirng not being carried out)

Any key points I should check? I have driven RE Electra CI for last five years and nothing much apart from it though. Would you suggest me to take some garage mechanic and get it checked before closing the deal?
What would be an ideal price should I go for this machine?? I want a head turner in most part and hence the mustard yellow. No offense.
I am right away fixing the AS200 visor into it and looking for any probable tank cover or some mounts for carrying daily errands alike my bullet which has ton of storage space all over. Any suggestion Gaurav?
