Advice on purchase

[Theroofer]

Hello , I found a pretty good deal on a 2018 250xc and would like to buy it . Still have to go take a look at it though . My questions are is there anything to look for or known issues I should be concerned with and are parts going to be available ? Thank you

See if the starter works. Linkage bearings may need to be done. Other than that, they're pretty stout bikes.

Thanks gez . The owner says the starter works great , when he bought it there wasn?t a starter on it but he had one installed . Sounds like a good bike to me and I believe parts won?t be a problem . Thanks again for your reply

Its interesting you say it didnt have a starter on it when he bought it, I wonder what the problem was.
Rieju now are building the same bike using the 2018-2019 platform. This should mean parts will be plentiful and I have been seeing the new parts flowing in as well as a few new bikes too.

From what I understand it was owned by a dealers family member and he took the starter off . But the current owner had them install one . I think I?m gonna pull the trigger on it today . I spoke to the dealer he bought it from and he said he has an ec300 and it?s the best bike he?s ever ridden . Thanks
