Sitting too long??
06/06/11 at 23:13:22
 
Looking to buy my first bike and found a 00' Savage 650 with 1700ish miles on it. It's running but it sat for quite awhile. They are asking $1500 and won't budge. Is this something I should worry about? Known issues are fork seals leaking and dents on the gas tank.

kbb says 1625 retail/1055 trade in.

pluses are extremely low mileage.
minuses are leaking forks.

fork seals and oil will run in the neighborhood of $60
a good tank generally runs $150/200

worth it unless you find something else.

I don't think I'm up to replacing the seals. I don't want to break it before I even start riding it regularly

Thank you for the kbb info. I drove it down the road and back today, didn't go far too.(still learning) The owner said shifting from neutral to first was a bit tough, and the engine sound like a sewing machine. (Adj the valves should fix it?)

I didn't really have a problem shifting. Just had to tap the gear shift a few times and it took.

Fork seals may seal back up once they get re-moistened... unless they're real gushers...
Definitely do an oil change and valve adjust... You'll get to know her that way...
...and let her know she'll be loved...  Kiss...
