Who Leg'Inn bike is what I like. Take the 14 and make it a V-4 Supermoto. The KTM is too expensive for my blood, so I can just have a little entertainment watching instead. Then I sort of got sick to my stomach to thinking these are some big 500cc pistons. But damn if I ever saw my Honda XR500 belch like this bike does. I don't know where to throw this thread being a how-to buy a used or shit, even a new over priced bike like this one.
I heard a new intro had these things blowing up under the bike editors for 2010? I don't know if it was this model in particular? I would beat that moto bike the same way I do the 14. Chicken drift in the water, not all dry and high side. I can't take the body abuse too many more times... Or can I? Na, I'm just fooling myself is all.
It's lucky these guys are just riders, not mechanics. They did not catch an embarrassing clip you can hide if you were keen on the throttle hammering. But this bike is going to hurl the crankcase, EMPTY? I said, empty my rattling rings I can't keep the oil from gaining chamber entry. Either that, or the valves are way wobbly... Puff the Magic Drag Gone is my 10WobbleU40.
Bike kind of wobbles too. A real (((neck shaker))) if you watch it on the highway. Looks like it has that move from traffic, be safe, fast, getaway. This is WOT die like about saving my ass is, ahalfass'd chance at it with the 14 or one a bit lighter with gobs of torque.

Or, is this more a How-To find/buy a used bike? I will always let the owner ride his bike and I follow. Cold bike is how you walk up to it first thing. Someone warms up an engine, they are hiding something. I learned the hard way. Trust me.
Like the camera car flowing the mosquito bomb on two-wheels, I think I need a second set of eyes that this video is not deceiving me, I see puff. Say I see either a mid muffler gasket with a leak? Or, say it might be the tiny hole they use for condensation buildup after shutdown?
Either way, I have about 6 time frames that either hit the mark or might go past the puff/wobble points to this leaker/shaker. The factories have a fleet they rotate to the bike rags. So, figure this bike has some miles on it. And beat to crap with every skill level taking turns on it.
You might pick up some words, but there is nothing hooligan going on with the bike. Boring parts unless you segway to the times to see the puffs on accel and with a bike exposing how expensive it is to own a bug repellent on wheels, you can recover your purchase is spray make contract with county and spray the neighborhoods come summer time.
Time Points are approximate minutes:
1. 1:33 ~ Puff out the back.
2. 1:43 ~ Hauls the mail past traffic smartly.
3. 2:02 ~ Head Shake at the front wheel.
4. 7:02 ~ Poontang.
5. 7:25 ~ 4 seconds of Bad News till 7:29
6. 7:38 ~ A re-clip of the same puff they should have clipped out!
Buyer Beware!

Am I seeing things or did you notice it too? Would you buy this bike? And if that crankcase breather is closed loop? Then that looks about right if the pistons are that huge, maybe. But if that is open crankcase vented to atmosphere, then it is a loose intake valve guide(s). Or, rings leaking as in, cannot wipe down some areas that push past the cocked ring angle.
