Your local stealership is the LAST place to go for ANYTHING on these bikes. Other than the Biloxi MS dealership, every place I've ridden mine (WA, TN, MS, AL, FL, LA, AR,KY) despise the LS. They can't keep them on the floor, and when I bought mine new in 98 Mike told me that he was allowed 2 new ones per year. Of course the dealer wants you to buy something else.
Mine has been radar trapped (at a track) at 115 mph.
I removed the speedometer/odometer a couple years ago, so no idea what kind of total miles are on her, but the last valve adjustment was at least 16K miles ago.
Find yourself a compatible CDI box, hit up Bike Bandit for the relay to the decomp assembly, and get her back on the road.
These bikes don't need much babying. I change my oil occasionally, have had blown fork seals since 5 minutes after I took possession, never wash it, keep it outdoors year round, ride year round...
Worst trouble with mine is keeping other people off of it, something about those F'ng apehangers...
