Buyer 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.

Run an inspection — $19One-time. No subscription.

Who’s behind this

Ryan Ebner. 15 years wrenching across gasoline, diesel, EV, light rail, and powersports. Most recently diagnostics at a powersports shop — dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs. The report uses the same logic I’d use if you walked the bike onto my lift: hours-based risk tables, locked repair-cost ranges, red flags I’ve seen sellers run a thousand times.

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.
