Any used purchase requires the "one step at a time" outlook. No 2 bikes the same...obviously vary in needs and complexity based on both what was and was not done....I doubt the "perfect" used bike even exists.
Steps of get running, get streetable, get legal...electrical issues, tires, chain/sprockets, mechanicals...many intricacies and expenses along the way are realities.
From prior owners ..I'd almost prefer non-existent, skipped service procedures as opposed to stripped spark plugs, fasteners/parts missing,or gorilla'd.. wildly screwed up adjustments, whacked out electrical add-ons or "improvements"....something is always gonna be there to some degree.
Yessir...tackle one issue at a time. Its good for the soul, gets you intimate with the inner workings of your ride. All in all, quite satisfying when successful. Take your time, enjoy the process.
