   Purchasing a used motorcycle can be very rewarding but it can also be a daunting task. This used motorcycle buyer’s guide highlights 10 things to look for when purchasing a used motorcycle.

   1. Has It Been Crashed?

   Congratulations on purchasing your new pocket bike, before you start riding it there’s a few things you should take special care of to ensure you break it in properly. Proper break-in procedure is critical to ensure a long life for your engine, and to get the maximum performance and reliability out of it.

   The first think you should do is add fuel. Most pocket bikes have two cycle engines so you’ll have to add the proper gasoline/oil mixture. While breaking your pocket bike engine in, you should use a higher oil to gas mix - preferably about 30:1. This will ensure proper lubrication is present while the rotating parts in your motor get worn into a pattern. During this time there will be excess heat and friction, thus the higher oil… Continue reading
