2006 K9 with 25K Miles?

[MH2OS]

Hi,

I am looking for a K9 and having a hard time finding a low mileage unit for sale. I have found one with 25K miles on it. It appears to be clean and straight. Seller states that an updated EHC and a new complete harness installed. Is there anything I should be looking for? What are your thoughts on the value of this bike? Concerned about the mileage and longevity…….

Thanks!

I wouldnt be concerned about the mileage as we have several members in the 100k Club. If you can lay eyes on it even better. Look for the obvious, oil leaks ect. Start n ride is helpful. Price is whatever someone will pay, much like everything. Do a KBB look n see if seller is out of line.

Ask the seller about any transmission issues. Quite a few of those have had mainshaft failures…. What is the price they are asking for it? Pics would help.

I bought one with 8k miles and had to put 6500$ in it to get her right. The mileage isn’t a concern as much as being prepared to spend on getting it right. Good luck and welcome

This is the one I am looking at.

Thank you all for the advice!

Nice looking k-9. I would buy it for that if it all checked out in person as it looks online. Check date on tires , fluids etc. The obvious stuff. Run it through the gears and see how it rides. Good luck

I wouldnt be concerned on that kind of mileage...really that's no miles at all...if it has been taken care of cosmetically and mechanical then that's a good price.

That’s a Dakota Digital speedo, so you don’t really know the miles unless you know the miles of the original speedo. Compression test would be OK too. Look at the pegs, grips, sand pitting on front fork lowers, etc.…..not a bad price for a decent running K9.

I want to thank everyone for all of this helpful information. I will let you know what develops.

After checking out all the above, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this bike. Looks like a week or two bringing back all the aluminum to its original glory. Best of Luck.
