So if you were going to buy a used 05 Roadking with 30,000miles on it from a dealer what questions would you ask? :small3d008:
In General and based on issues with my bike and experience. 2004 RoadKing
1. Has the bike been layed down or crashed?
2. How many owners? Why did the previous owner trade it in?
3. Have the cam tensioner shoes been address? How? MOST IMPORTANT
4. Any motor upgrades stage 1, 95", cams. etc.
5. If stage 1 does is have a tuner? Or was a program downloaded. If downloaded they can tell you what program.
6. If it has stock exhaust, check for cracks in the head pipe behind the rear cylinder.
7. Check the shifter arm coming from the transmission behind the primary(rod from the shifter runs back to it). Is it loose? I bet it is.
8. Do they have the maintenance history? Was it serviced with them?
9. Does it decel pop when you ride it?
10. Check clutch and brake levers for pull. Ease of pull on the clutch lever and make sure the front brake lever does pull in to far.
11. Eyeball the brake pads.
Note; The same bike can be bought for 11K to 12K all day long.
