Default Thoughts on this purchase...

Hey all. I am in the process of possibly trading in my current ride and buying this bike.

https://www.rumbleon.com/buy/1HD1KVC19JB636033
Obviously, you're only going by what you see. But what stick out to you here?? I am not sure if I am being over paranoid about this sumping thing, or if I should be worried. I looks like there is a full rinehart exhaust on there, and that WILL void the factory warranty, correct?? So if I was to get sumping, I would be screwed?? Any thoughts here would be appreciated. Besides the reviews for RumbleOn offering low $$ for bikes, most reviews I have seen for purchasing, have been good. But that bike wouldnt be up here for a bit, and its getting cold here. So Im not sure I would have time to give it the run down this year. (of course, this is WNY and it could be 80* next week.)

Thoughts??

RumbleOn is a low ball scheme anyway, so take that for what it’s worth. As always, your bike is never worth anything, but when it’s relisted for sale, it’s gold with platinum and diamonds.

I think you answered your own question. A full exhaust that’s not moco will void the warranty. The exhaust can be swapped, what’s can’t be known is if an aftermarket tuner was used.

Spend a little more and get a new RKS with a full warranty

So, did you buy it? It's now listed as sold.

On the flip side, warranty may or may not be in trouble but looks like you are getting about $3k or so worth of extras, the warranty thing has been beaten to death, but I personally know some who have had warranty engine work done with header and TTS tuner and then the guy on here who was denied for an FP3, kind of a crap shoot I guess.
