Buying a used 2013 R1200GS

[jdeichmann]

I am considering buying a used 2013 water-cooled R1200GS from a dealer. It has 30,000 on it. I have read about the recall issue of the fork tube splitting from the fork cap and will check on it to see if it has been replaced.
Are there other issues I should be concerned about?
Have there been any problems associated with the wet clutch and the sharing of engine and transmission oil?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

This is a really stout bike and it has so few miles I suspect for the right price it will be a good bike for a long time. If you are no into your own maintenance get the fluids changed, incl the brake fluid and get the timing and valves checked and if necessary adjusted. Then you should be good to go....

You could always run the VIN at the dealership and see if there has been recalls fulfilled or not fulfilled. Possibly the service work was done at the dealership and there is a history.
