Your Personal Pocket Inspection
Before you wire $5,000
for a used dirt bike,
get a real mechanic’s read on it.
Submit the listing, photos, and what the seller told you. You get a structured inspection report back: hours-based risk, likely overdue maintenance in dollars, red-flag analysis of the seller’s language, and a list of what to check in person before you hand over cash.
Know what you’re paying for
AT ONSET WINDOW — cam chain tensioner failures on this engine family typically start at 15 hours. This bike is at 16.5, with no service history.
Asking $5,300 is defensible only with clean documentation and a passed PPI. I'd offer $4,200–4,400 contingent on proof the tensioner's been inspected.
There's a critical safety recall on this exact model — the clutch outer can break and lock the rear wheel. Stop-riding until confirmed remedied, at no cost.

Who’s behind this
Hi, I’m Ryan. After fifteen years as a diagnostic technician, most recently in powersports, I got tired of seeing people spend their hard-earned money on something that wasn’t what they were told. I’ve seen a lot in my career, and people getting stuck with a bad bike is the worst. I can’t look at everything, but I can use my experience to help you make better decisions. So… I built PitWrench, your Personal Pocket Inspection.
PitWrench isn’t an AI guessing at your bike from general knowledge. Every failure mode, suspension spec, and recall in its knowledge base, I reviewed and corrected by hand — the same calls I’d make standing over the bike on my own lift. The AI writes the report; the diagnostic judgment is mine.
If something in your report looks off, email me directly at support@pitwrench.com — I read every one.
What you get
- Pricing read. Comps band (summer + winter), seasonal adjustment, documentation strength — the levers you can use to negotiate.
- Maintenance liability. Dollar estimate of what’s likely overdue based on the bike’s hours and what the seller did (or didn’t) document.
- Red-flag detection. Structured signals (VIN, photo metadata, hour-meter type) plus tone-and-language analysis on the seller’s listing.
- Mod profile read. Reputable brands vs. knockoffs vs. EFI-affecting mods that need a follow-up question.
- Mechanical risk by system. Engine top end, bottom end, clutch, suspension, electrical — each ranked low to critical with reasoning.
- Buyer action list. What to physically check at the seller’s. Which engine health test for this bike (leak-down vs. compression). 5-minute test ride protocol. Questions to ask before you commit.
Honest about what this is
This is an advisory report based on the listing, photos, and what you tell me. No one looked at the bike in person. If the report says “suspension service likely overdue,” that’s a hours-based inference, not an in-person verdict. For any purchase over a few thousand dollars, a professional pre-purchase inspection ($75-200 at a local shop) is still the right move. This report is what you bring to that decision — not a replacement for it.
How it works
Submit the listing
Paste the listing URL and text, upload the seller's photos, and fill out what you know — hours, claimed history, reason for selling.
Two-stage AI review
A vision model reads every photo first. A second reasoning model cross-checks that against known failure modes, recalls, and pricing data for your exact bike.
