Brian,
Night Vision devices of the type you are looking at only work in total
darkness. If somebody turned on a light source in the area where you're
viewing, it would be magnified 100,000 times and your would be
momentarily blinded by the brightness. They also have a very limited
field of view.

I agree Jim. Of course, I think the very best thing is to do it yourself. I don't recall every buying a new or used bike that in the process of cleaning, detailing, tightening I haven't found something amiss. Yesterday, I was going through my son's XT225 with less than 2,000 miles. I was nearly through and said to myself, "this may be the first time I don't find anthing." Just then I brushed against the plastic brake disc protector and noticed it had slipped away from under a mounting clamp. I looked a little closer and found the speedometer cable misrouted and the tire rubbing against it in such a way that it was already worn through the rubber and starting to rub on the metal. For an older used bike I think "tune-up" ought to include a carb removal, teardown and cleaning. They always seem to have varnish and crud in them.
