Buying an F650
Hello all!
I am currently in Germany and am about to take the plunge and purchase an F650 to ride around the Caucasus, and was wondering if anyone had any tips/recommendations about what to look for, or weird F650 specific problems that I may not notice when buying it.
I am looking at the pre 2000 carb models because from what I've read they seem a bit more reliable and of course easier to fix (is this true?).
I am fairly mechanically minded and generally do most of the work on my bikes/cars at home so the usual things that one looks for (chain/sprocket wear, oil/hose condition, strange sounds etc etc) are OK.
Are there any things that are specific to the F650 that I should be wary of?
Thanks very much!
Marty
