Looks ok.

I have been searching for a near free trials bike for 6 months so far but with no luck.

This guy had a starting bid of $400 and said it had a whine and he thought the bottom end bearing was shagged,
Having talked to him on the phone it sounds more like its either got low oil or needs an oil change, its more of a tick that a knock or a whine and its only uphill,

He removed the ad after discovering it needed new rear wheel bearings and there was an issue with the clutch, having talked to him about these issues as well, sounds like the clutch issue rolls back to the oil,

Bike has another weeks worth of Rego and has a WOF until december,
I was pretty happy to go to $500 for it so long as he tossed in the gear he was advertising with it, I offered him $400 and he came back with $575 so I have made a counter off and he is going to sit on it for the night,

Will wait and see how we get on, if I get it and the bearing does go pop then worst case is I could about put a secondhand motor in it, or what not.

Looks like a possible chain to tight. Do you have shot of the other side? it could be chain and final bearing noise.

Car oil added is likely the clutch issue.

He doesnt seem to know much of much so im guessing car oil might be the go,

The noise sounds like over tight chain that has tight spot. The chain seems to be tight in photo and trail bikes get tighter when suspension lowers down with rider load.

Workmate who is a field service tech out there had a look for me, he said it looked like the chain had a tight spot otherwise sounded fine,

I have made an offer and he has accepted @ $475

Nice one.

Comes with some gear, so will probably flick them off cheap or give them to someone who needs them, they won't fit me.

Now to just recoup some losses by selling some shit on trademe to keep SWMBO happy.. haha
