Looking at buying this HDJ100 cruiser with 250k kms on the clock and upon test drive and inspection today, I discovered 2 possible concerns. 1. is that their was a constant but lite/transparent puff of steam/mist coming out the filler cap during idle (see here) (ambient temp was about 15*c) and 2. quite a bit of oily gunk buildup around the rear of the engine, possibly a rear main seal leak?
Apart from that, engine sounds and smooth and healthy with no obvious leaks or other problems. Car drives and shifts gears silky smooth with no clunking or anything anywhere in the driveline. All electrics work fine except the idle up button. No problem codes read. Reasonable service records. I get a good vibe from the seller who seems honest and trustworthy. I just don't want to end up with a lemon!
Any thoughts? Cheers
