The epa mandates a lean adjustment on the carb.
this adjustment runs great in denver
can be adjusted, but don't ask the dealer to do it, he can't
we have instructions in the tect section.

most people don't complain, they "comment" affectionally.
It grows on you. Grin

9300km=5766 miles...

Hmmm...some folks here recommend a valve adjustment at 4000 miles.
That could be good bargaining info for you, if it hasn't been done...

Does the PO (previous owner) have maintenance records?

What is the price of the bike?...check the NADA and Kelley Blue Book values on the bike:

Make sure to plug in your zipcode. Pricing varies according to where you are located...

Also check your local Craigslist to see what the bike is going for in your area.

HTH! (Hope This Helps)

Cool
