Free motorcycles and scooters Zuerich (Kreis 10): what to check first
Motorcycles and scooters given away free by Zuerich (Kreis 10) owners have often sat unused for a long time — the battery is almost always worth replacing immediately, since it degrades even without regular use. Check the tires before riding: even if the bike otherwise looks fine, cracked rubber from age is genuinely dangerous on the road.
Paperwork gets checked just as carefully here as for a car — a free transfer doesn't remove the need for proper documentation of ownership in Switzerland.
Motorcycles listed for parts only show up often too, and can be a good source of components for anyone with a similar model.
Chain and sprockets on a bike that's sat idle for a long time frequently need replacing due to corrosion, even when the rest of the mechanism still looks intact.
Check the headlight and mirrors for cracked housings and a proper seal — moisture inside a headlight housing damages the wiring fast and is expensive to fix afterward.
