Go for it.
Used purchase question
Hello,
First post in the forums so here goes. I am looking at a used 17 FZ 07 with 3750 miles on the clock. Owner says he has not done any maintenance to the bike since he bought it but it has been garaged (original owner). My question is should I shy away due to no maintenance done yet or can I pick it up and do all required and not worry too much about it? I can get it for a low price which is the appealing part. Trying to decide what to do. Thanks

Thanks! Going to look at it in a couple of hoursGo for it.
Picked it up for $4200. Needs maintenance and new handlebars. Fell over and bent bars. Just pick up stock bars or is there a good aftermarket set? I wouldn’t mind them being a little higher as I am 6’2”.Go for it.
taller body longer arms ?? haha,
bars may be ok,and not bent ,if so {till you get new ones} try loosing pinch bolts and tweeking bars back to position
i have 12 k on my 2017 and the only maintenance ive done is regular oil change,,lube and adjust chain,,clean air filter ,,just changed plugs but they looked good.
sounds like you got a sweet deal,,first thing i would do is dump that oil and filter ,,then dump the oil again after a few hundred miles
