....were they kick AND electric start or electric only?

Going to look at a used 06 soon, owner sent me pics and its got a kick starter. Its got the radial mount brakes and appears super stock, but the kicker threw me.

Mine is electric only. The kicker was someething you had to add, IIRC.

It's the only option (extra) for the 450/510. I just put a TE skid plate on my
510 SMR fits perfict.

Besides the fork leg oil leaks, any other common ailments I should be inspecting for when checking out a used one?

Anybody have a kickstand laying around in case I buy this thing?

 

[510SM Santa Cruz]

HA HA I am just about to remove my kick stand.
It aint for sale though.:Funny:

If it runs perfect, steers straight, wheelies and puts
a smile on your face buy it. :thumbup:

the fork leg leak is not a common issue. things to check are the valve adjustments, oil changes, and coolant catch bottle (see if its melted at all). small things like wheel bearings, steering head bearings, the usuall dirt bike stuff.
