things to check/ask

has teh front fork oil been upgraded (standrad is 5W they work better with 10W)

Check teh rear suspension, if the spring is weak figure ~£200 to replace

check for scuffs to engine casings

is it an import (speedo marked predominantly in KM), if so ask if teh headlight is UK spec

Check teh front forks/mudguard for signs that its had a disc lock on and tried to set off (cracks/marks on teh fork legs). not major but a bargaining point to get a bit more knocked off.

If teh SH is by Chorley Yam then its been well looked after as they are one of teh best dealers round here

Thats a very good price for a top motorcycle. I think I even have a few goodies left from mine (Haynes manual etc)

I'll post some more tomorrow when I've thought some more
