Greetings from Amritsar India. I am presently riding a Triumph Storm and going for Triumph Rocket X

[Harmit Dhillon]

Im going for a Rocket X which has only 500kms on it by its current first owner for last 2 yrs. Any tips on checks etc would be great.

Greetings from Australia. By the time the Rocket X come along most issues had way been resolved.

Buy it and try to get the stupid grin off your face.

500k... sounds like a weekend ride. Not even broke in yet. If the price is right, have a great time on a Rocket.

The only thing that would prevent you buying a perfectly good Rocket x would be an unrealistic high price....with 500 on the clock it is basically new....should have nil problems at all...go for it ...

 

[Harmit Dhillon]

Thankyou guys. All goes well, it will
Another quick Question, do i need to get it serviced and get oil changed before i ride it, as the seller and nearest service station is over 250kms from my place.

Thankyou guys. All goes well, it will be home soon next to the Storm.

I would...it may not have been done as yet and in that case will still have the "Running in " oil in it.
If you do it then you will be sure that its done and you can rest easy.
Have the dealership do the check for you...all the nuts and bolts etc will be checked to ensure everything is tight and correct...tyre pressures correct etc...get your service book stamped.

Get it serviced to be safe
And welcome from Australia
