Your Personal Pocket Inspection
$5,000 is a lot to guess on.
Know before you go look.
A real mechanic’s judgment, turned into your report: fair price, mechanical risk, and what to check in person — before you’re standing in front of the seller.

Know what you’re paying for
AT ONSET WINDOW — cam chain tensioner failures on this engine family typically start at 15 hours. This bike is at 16.5, with no service history.
Asking $5,300 is defensible only with clean documentation and a passed PPI. I'd offer $4,200–4,400 contingent on proof the tensioner's been inspected.
There's a critical safety recall on this exact model — the clutch outer can break and lock the rear wheel. Stop-riding until confirmed remedied, at no cost.

Who’s behind this
Fifteen years as a mechanic, and I still question buying the wrong bike — what’s hidden, what it’ll cost me later. I built PitWrench so you don’t have to guess.
PitWrench isn’t an AI guessing at your bike from general knowledge. Every failure mode, suspension spec, and recall in its knowledge base, I reviewed and corrected by hand — the same calls I’d make standing over the bike on my own lift. The AI writes the report; the diagnostic judgment is mine.
If something in your report looks off, email me directly at support@pitwrench.com — I read every one.
How it works
Submit the listing
Paste the listing, upload the seller's photos, and tell us what you know — hours, claimed history, reason for selling.
Checked against 15 years of experience
Every detail gets checked against a knowledge base of real failure modes, recalls, and pricing — hand-corrected by a mechanic, not guessed by a generic model.
Go look, already knowing
Your report lands in 1-3 minutes: fair price, mechanical risk, and exactly what to check in person — before you're standing in front of the seller.
Know for $19. Find out the hard way for $2,000.
What you get
- Pricing read. Comps band (summer + winter), seasonal adjustment, documentation strength — the levers you can use to negotiate.
- Maintenance liability. Dollar estimate of what’s likely overdue based on the bike’s hours and what the seller did (or didn’t) document.
- Red-flag detection. Structured signals (VIN, photo metadata, hour-meter type) plus tone-and-language analysis on the seller’s listing.
- Mod profile read. Reputable brands vs. knockoffs vs. EFI-affecting mods that need a follow-up question.
- Mechanical risk by system. Engine top end, bottom end, clutch, suspension, electrical — each ranked low to critical with reasoning.
- Buyer action list. What to physically check at the seller’s. Which engine health test for this bike (leak-down vs. compression). 5-minute test ride protocol. Questions to ask before you commit.
Honest about what this is
This is an advisory report based on the listing, photos, and what you tell me — no one’s looked at the bike in person. If it says “suspension service likely overdue,” that’s an hours-based inference, not a verdict from a lift. Every report recommends a professional pre-purchase inspection before you buy — this report is what makes that decision, and that in-person look, informed instead of a guess.
