# Pre-sale preparation and accepting the motorcycle

What pre-sale preparation covers and how to accept the motorcycle.

Before a motorcycle reaches its owner, it is usually checked and serviced. Let us cover what this includes and what to check on acceptance.

### What preparation covers

-   Diagnostics of the main assemblies.
-   Replacing consumables if needed.
-   Fixing minor issues found during inspection.

The scope is agreed individually, since each motorcycle is in its own condition.

### Acceptance

On handover, check that the motorcycle matches the auction sheet and documents, verify the frame number, and inspect the overall condition. All documents should be in hand.

### After you receive it

Before active use it is worth a full service with a specialist, especially if the bike stood idle for a while. This extends its life and adds confidence on the road.
