Thing to watch for is the left radiator mount. It might crack and cause a small leak, which is covered under warranty that you don't have anymore. But it is an easy fix by any radiator shop...should actually be faster than waiting for ducati to warranty it.

Thanks for the info. is the radiator leak a cpmmon problem in the 08 848s or have u seen the specific bike in person? i checked the radiator ans mounts yst
and they looked cleaner than my old gixxer's..
ive done an icbc history report on it and
it does indeed only have one
claim.. the drop that made it a "salvage" title so if i like how it rides im going to buy it most likely. im buying the duc to ride, not to look at, so the few scuffs dont really bother
me.
edit: ok i've looked into the whole radiator issue, they just seem to be really poorly welded and in some cases squirt coolant fluid from the posterior side. i'll take another look at that while the bike's running when i go pick it up tomorrow. thank you again for the heads up!
