    Hi all, am new here. Looking to buy an xb12s that has been dumped and frame has a dent in it. Doesn't look too bad from pics, but I am wondering how I can check for cracks. Is running the bike and looking for leaks the only option? Since it's not my bike I am obviously limited with how much of a test I can do, but is there anything else I may be able to do?

    Thx in advance

    well if there was a crack in the side im assuming it would leak if there was gas in it... have to owner fill it completly to the brim and it would leak if there was a crack

    Ok thx , I was wondering if hairline fractures would show leaks like that right away while running it? If so great!
