1995 Yamaha RD350 0.3L Petrol · C6 KBX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a minor return of hydraulic system issues. The most recent test on 14 May 2025 at 22,533 miles identified a slight fluctuation in front brake effort and long travel on the rear brake. These findings mirror a fault recorded far back in April 2013 at 18,485 miles, suggesting that the braking system or master components are prone to degradation despite the low annual usage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 727 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2018 and March 2021, where the bike covered only 225 miles in three years. Between 2021 and 2025, the mileage increased by just 202 miles. This sporadic use indicates the vehicle spends long periods in stationary storage, which often leads to the deterioration of rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, given the recurring reports of fluctuating effort and long pedal travel. The 2010 failure due to excessively deteriorated brake hoses highlights a risk of rubber perishation due to age rather than mileage. Inspect the hoses for cracks, check the master cylinder seals for leaks, and verify the rear wheel cylinder is not seizing. Additionally, the 2021 failure for a loose handlebar retaining device necessitates a check of all critical fasteners and steering components to ensure they remain torqued after periods of inactivity.
