Here she is...





It has 18k on it now. Other than heat wrapping the exhaust and adding a frame brace...is there any other popular mods or anything else that should be done?

I'm going to change the oil in the motor and trans...is there any other maintenance issues that I should worry about with this many miles?

I guess I've got some reading to do...

Thanks,

Jim.

Oil pump drive gear, make sure the updated primary chain tensioner is in there. Maybe a new detent plate for better shifting...

Hmmm

I am sure others will post up...

Make sure it is the -02B oil pump ...

Be sure to check the PINs on the shifter drum if you replace the DETENT PLATE ...

Remove the clutch SPRING PLATE( AKA grenade plate) with one steel and two fiber plates if not done already ...

Have a lot of HELP "INFO" if you want, just PM me ...

EBC prolite front rotor and new pads, if the front rotor on there is shaking. If not, then see above, and just enjoy the beautiful bike!

Thanks guys.

I plan on taking care of it, however, I'm going to use it as intended....to ride!

I think I'll enjoy it.

You guys think $2500 was a decent deal?

Decent deal?...That's good. I wish I had some extra cash so I could buy me one of the earlier tubers.
