What are you MOST worried about when going to look at a used dirt bike?
Oil and filter been changed on time and no leeks coming from the forks.

For sure, leaky forks are super common! Have you bought a bike before that had problems, Preslav?

@@MotocrossHideout I did found it,was a pleasant time but already above 30 year's old,gonna transition from road to dirt biking,that's how I found your channel.Why I'm transitioning(?),a four wheel driver hit and pushed me of the road while been on high speed risky overtake manoeuvre,the least to say:always wear gear,I was tossed and smashed my helmet not my skull the rest was scratches and ripped clothes.

If the oil looked like milk, it's probably going to do it again and only get worse. I know it sucks, but I highly recommend getting it fixed or else it might be a bigger issue in the near future. Here's an article I wrote on blown head gaskets: motocrosshideout.com/blown-head-gasket/
