I had a set list. Apart from the usual 'test it'
I'm paranoid, so walk away pretty easily. If the tyres are particularly bald or flat, and the chain is tensioned a lot, kinda gives me the idea that the owner leaves things to the last minute.
Aside from that.6k and 12k services.
R/R has been replaced. Good to check on the condition of the stator as they can get burned by the dodgy early regulators.
Blinkers and the wiring condition that runs to them. I can't remember why, but a mechanic told me people replaced them due to an entirely different cause that was an electrical pain, but was misdiagnosed as blinkers. Electrical issues seem to come up frequently.
Oil leaks. They bolts Triumph used were cheesy and under torqued and the casing had symptom of leaking.
Rear shock condition and functionality. 1st gen tended to lose damping.Also as a heads up, they're a thieves wet dream, and are known to be pretty easy to nab. Mine didn't last two months in a garage anchored to the ground.
Now I want one again dammnit.
Even though this one looks like it's not for him, feel like he's decided on getting a triple, which is progress. Any other advice of shopping for a 2nd hand Street Triple much appreciated, and thanks for the help!
