Hi
You have good taste and so we welcome you!
Apart from the usual checks, look at:
Valve guides - Some early bikes had issues. Mine is on the list but runs like a dream!
Rear wheel bearings - Expensive so make sure there's no play wse.
Tank warpage - I'll let someone nearer to you talk about that!
Cambelts and tensioner bearings - check them.
Clutch pack and release bearing - check.
Front discs - Some were prone to warpage - replace with Brembo serie Oro.
Fuel gauge and rear brakes don't work very well but most of us just live with that as
the rest of the bike is AWESOME!
Good Luck
Booney |

I think you could find one in the same price point with less miles. Sub 15k |

looks like the "service light" is on, might want to check and see what service is recommended due and how much it will be |

It looks darn good. Generally the valve guide issue showed up by 20k miles. Likely if it runs well and doesn’t use oil it is ok. But it is very easy to check the horizontal exhaust valve guide. Might be worth doing or taking to a local shop for a checkout first.
Fuel tank expansion is another potential issue. From the gaps it may have some. I’d ask the seller and see if it has had the fuel pump gasket recall done.
Is it local to you?
