Odometer rollback? Too blue? (Read 105 times)

Scott2.0 YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 43 Detroit	Odometer rollback? Too blue? 06/09/11 at 15:05:33 I just got my 2004 LS650 on Tuesday with 954 miles on it. It now shows a little over 1,000. This never crossed my mind when I was checking it out but could a bike with less than 1k on it show this much blue? Did I get shafted? It's too late now but it's making me wonder. Sorry for the blurry pics.

Someone said 15 minute warm up was all it took for him.

[/quote]What's it doing when you shut off? [/quote]

When I shut it off it backfires. Maybe not a full backfire but more like a puff of air. Also, when cruising around 30-35mph in 3rd it seems to hesitate every so often which leads me to believe it's fuel starved. I know that could be caused by a million other things though.
