Picked up a 2010 NT 700 V about a month ago, PO said every thing works fine, so here is what’s wrong: no truth in advertising, but the price was more than reasonable. 1: bags would open, but key would not pull out. 2: lots of JB weld on bag latches. 3: very, very dirty under seat, must have lived on dirt road. 4: right hand bag exploded when I was checking out the latches. 5: both front fork seals leaking, I thought I had tied it down too tight, but after further inspection I found they had been leaking for a long time.
what I have done so far: replaced right bag (price of bike was low enough, so I paid Honda an exorbitant price for new one) , removed all latching mechanisms, installed external latches. Replaced brakes, installed a pull ring to remove the seat. Next I will clean the front wheel, replace the fork seals, then touch up the sliders, and plastic around the radiator. ONE GOOD THING THE TIRES ARE GREAT.
