Buying a used bike.....

I'm test riding an 11 plate S1K from a BMW dealer this week, any tips on what I should watch out for?

(Any niggles pertinent to the bike)

Watch for the little orange triangle on the dash.
Any rattles from the front of the engine.
Make sure all the switches work.
It will still be under warranty so not much to worry about.

Okay thanks - what's the orange triangle, a hazard warning light/symbol?

Its a warning that somethings going to blow if it turns red its fooked

+1 on the front end rattles the balance valve can wear and sound like a bag of spanners on start up so check from a cold start!

Thanks everybody, so that's cold start, rattles, switches and dash symbols....

Of course Nick all of this will go out of the window when you're brain is turned to jelly and you won't be able to utter a word through the permanent grin on your face.
