What to check before buying
- Verify M23 frame and engine number with a BSA dating source; the M23 Empire Star/Silver Star is not interchangeable with the M24 Gold Star.
- Check the oil system, return, leaks and service history before an extended test ride.
- Test magneto, plug, carburettor and fuel system cold and hot for even running.
- Inspect clutch, gearbox, chain and controls for safe operation without jumping out of gear.
- Check frame, forks, brakes, wheels and spokes for corrosion, cracks and age.
