    This is definitely a track bike , the zip tie on the front fork is use to check the suspension travel to know if u are braking too hard or too soft and also as a marker to adjust the suspension. I dont think it can be used as a rag for leaking oil :P <br>Although nice video dude, really important key point.

    I really like your videos, it&apos;s at a steady pace and it helps me understand section by section about motorcycles themselves, keep the good work up!!

    Thanks it was helpful. Because we all know when you start looking at a bike, you kinda get excited and you overlook a lot of stuff. That’s why it helps to have a list. Thank you.

    the ziptie on the fork is most likely to help finding the suspension setup and not put a rags

    A couple things I noticed when you were walking around the bike. The rear turn signals are after market and are underneath the bike attacked to the aftermarket fender license plate holder. Also the rear brake level is also aftermarket and is adjustable to be able to move forward or backward to the comfort of the rider. The fairings are aftermarket as well as you mentioned. Just my two cents on what I noticed.

    That’s a good race bike forsure

    It&apos;s hard to find used bike that has never been dropped. But the most important thing is that bike has a potential to be repaired. <br>Maybe it&apos;s mistake, but I think that this 636 has a lot of potential. But I&apos;m interested what you will say about engine when you dig into it. Keep up the good work, I really love your videos! <br><br><br>Btw sorry for my english, respect from Croatia

    Key things are salvage titles. &nbsp;Cracked cases/oil leaks-&gt; oil starvation. &nbsp;Check for a cracked frame. &nbsp;Title matches the frame VIN. &nbsp;Person selling is the person named on the title. &nbsp;Bike should run, always. &nbsp;These are the key things/reasons to walk away. &nbsp;Everything else is manageable. &nbsp;Reason this guy cheers so loud when a bike first starts up is because he took on a huge risk in flipping non-running bikes- profit easily becomes a loss. &nbsp;Last key thing, never buy a bike from bike flippers that have owned the bike for a couple months or never titled it in their name- just left the old title unsigned from the previous seller. &nbsp;Engine condition and frame integrity aren&apos;t they&apos;re concern- this channel proves it..
