Why would you have any concerns as it's not even run in if those kms are right, some buy a new bike because it looks great to find out after it's not the bike for them, when I brought my new 2016 Thruxton S in 2018 (new old stock) one of my riding mate brought a new 2017 Street cup the same week, after 2 weeks and a few rides together he knew the Street cup wasn't the right bike for him and he traded it in on the same model Thruxton as mine, he was lucky the dealership he brought the SC from gave him a good deal on the new Thruxton S so he didn't lose much money from the deal just had to pay the extra for the 1200.
Do you know the reason it has only 500km on it and the reason the owner didn't ride it, if it's been stored right fuel drained out it should be fine after a full service and fresh fuel.

 

Thanks. 👍 First, I was wondering if it's possible to roll the odometer reading back?

Second, I was wondering if it could be bad for the machine to just sit there for 8 or 9 years? Would the seals be alright? Would the fluids be alright?

Stuff like that...

 

Hi all,
I've got a lead on a 2017 Street Cup that has less than 500km on the odometer!

Since it hasn't really been ridden, should I be concerned about anything?

Thanks.

Oil & filter. Check air filter so nothing has made a nest there.
The OEM Pirellis are not good to start with so might be a good idea to change them directly.
Check cables at left side in front of tank so the clutch wire does not damage them. There was a recall for a new holder.
Otherwise nice bike, have had mine for 7 years now and no mplan selling.

 

Thanks. Good suggestions.
What tires did you go with on your Cup?

 

I replaced the Pirellis on my T120 with Conti Road Attack 3’s and the improvement was dramatic. Unfortunately a forum member recently posted that the RA 3’s are no longer available.

 

Thanks. The other Street Cup that I'm interested in (8000 kms on the odometer) has Road Attacks on it. I'm not sure if they're 3s or 4s.
It has about 2000 kms on them...

 

Tyres are too old, change them.
brake fluid is too old, change it.
Oil additives have degraded, change it.
Check rubber components for degrading.
Battery is probably sulphated and degraded after sitting for so long, replace.

but still a rare and wonderful opportunity.
