2005 Yamaha TT 250 R 0.2L Petrol · LJ05 BYN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing with minor defects. The most recent test on June 26, 2024 at 6,045 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for a missing rear reflector. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable operating parameters, as no significant failures regarding the braking, lighting, or chassis integrity have been recorded in the decade of testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-one-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 288 miles annually. There is a notable six-year gap between the June 2017 test at 5,863 miles and the June 2023 test at 5,906 miles, during which the bike covered only 43 miles. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal oxidation of fluids, which are not captured by the odometer reading alone. A physical inspection should focus on the rubber-bound components that have shown issues in the past. The record previously noted play in the rear swinging arm mounting bush in 2015 and play in the lower linkage in 2013; a buyer must verify that these bushes have not perished or worn out due to age. Additionally, given the rear wheel bearing issue flagged in 2010 and the low brake pads in 2015, the braking system and bearings should be checked for seized calipers or corrosion to ensure the low-usage has not resulted in neglected moving parts.
