- ✓Check the clutch pedal feel; it should be light. A heavy or biting-high clutch indicates it has been ridden hard around town
- ✓Look at the front tyres for excessive inner wear, as the tracking is easily knocked out by potholes
- ✓Test the "City" steering button, which makes the power steering ultra-light for parking
