That’s good news (hopefully). Still, you should check out the bike thoroughly. Age of tires, rubber parts (hoses) quality, etc. Also, since the bike hasn’t been ridden a lot, I would recommend a change of all fluids too, so that you know that they are fresh and when they were changed - I am sure that you will ride the bike much more than the PO did, so knowing that info should give you a good base line to start, and you can begin your own scheduled maintenance.I said “hopefully” about the PO being a good mechanic earlier. I wouldn’t count that as meaning much. When I worked in a bike shop, my bike was probably in worse shape than most bikes I fixed. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😀" title="😀" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" />Welcome to the forum too!RiderJoe</blockquote>
