Hi all,
I am looking into buying a 2001 996 and I found one a few days ago on the local craigslist.
I went over the bike yesterday and here some of the things that stood out:
- bike starts up fine. I am yet to take it out on a test ride
- forks seals look good
- No service history
- The seller mentioned that new belts were installed by him
- 5600 miles (how is that possible? :surprise: )
- Leak on the alternator cover side
- Needs new tires
While I am fairly comfortable working on the 2V bikes, 4V are new to me. Anything else
I should be looking out for?
Thanks!
