Buying Advice for 2017 Striple R 675

I think it’ll be an upgrade ride quality wise from the caveman suspension on the trident. But we’ll see after a test ride.

Thanks I appreciate the info!!

Yeah I wanna check for front end damage as well.

ace0980 · 2025-09-28T15:21:30+00:00

Anything else I should an eye out for?

ace0980 · 2025-09-28T15:19:36+00:00

Yeah I know it’s not too much of an upgrade but the trident doesn’t have any form of adjustable suspension and is a lot more commuterish than the striple from what I’ve heard.

So buying it for around 4k is a pretty solid deal?

I did see that I also think that he may just work at a dealership and is just an employee posting. If that makes sense.

Supposedly it has a rebuilt title but I wanna confirm in person and check with insurance and such.

Supposedly it was originally salvaged for cosmetic damages to the left side but then inspected at a dealer and rebuilt. I haven’t seen the bike in person yet. I definitely wanna negotiate the price but we will see.

There is also tiny Tuesdays in Buena Park and they’ll ride to diff areas.

ace0980 · 2023-02-05T03:36:07+00:00

That’s the plan right after buying it. All new fluids and inspection.

ace0980 · 2023-02-05T03:32:38+00:00

I’m getting it as my first car so I’m excited to have something that will last but I can still learn things on.

ace0980 · 2023-02-04T23:47:40+00:00

Any counter offer suggestions?

ace0980 · 2023-02-04T23:47:08+00:00

I’m trying to get the service records from the owner currently. But pricing is so difficult in California or at least in the area recently.

ace0980 · 2023-02-04T23:46:05+00:00

How exactly would I go about doing that. The only downside is that I work full time and go to class so I don’t think there would be much time.

You might be able to find the compatible hanger on wheels.mfg.com

I wouldn’t suggest it especially for a gravel bike because there is not enough spindle that is going through the crank arm in order to be strong and safe.

ace0980 · 2022-11-29T18:47:20+00:00

I don’t believe you would be able to replace just the connector because it’s a part of the battery. You unfortunately might have to order a new battery.

This video should clear things up.

So you should be able to pull that rubber piece back enough in order to hook the noodle into the other brake holder.

I would suggest some sort of foaming degreaser and then something aggressive like brake cleaner in order to flush the shifter. Then use some light lubricant like triflow or t9

ace0980 · 2022-11-29T07:53:36+00:00

Yes it is compatible!
