Just got back from a motorcycle trip to South America, and looking for a new bike to replace my beloved ninja 250. Came back broke, so money is tight.
I'm looking at an interesting bike right now.
2006 s40, 40k(!) miles, runs but cam chain tensioner needs replacing. $800.
I've got the tools and the time, so I'm not afraid of replacing the cam chain tensioner. My questions are:
Is 40,000 nearing the end of the life of the engine? This will be my daily driver and will probably log 10,000 a year, and some road trips. It would be nice if I could get a few more years out of her before she pops.
He says the bike just started chattering. If the bike still runs, is there any possibility of damage already being done? Would the bike be OK to drive 15 miles home, or would it have to be trailered?
Also, let's say a 6'5" guy just did a 15,000 mile road trip on a ninja 250 and had no comfort issues. Would this guy have a problem with the ergonomics of a savage?
