If it does turn out to be an import, is that a bad thing? It's in mint condition considering its age, rides well, etc.
Could you have an imported bike and someone has changed the facia on the speedo to get that to read mph?I don't think there is a way to change the odo from kilometers to miles without getting to the ecu.
Clocks: should I just leave them as they are? Guess I could buy those off ebay and put them on when my bike reaches 16,000 - but that's £200. I'm planning a long Euro trip on it in the summer, KM tripmeter might be quite handy![/l][/l][/l][/l]
Headlights: They don't appear to dip down either side, I'll check next time I'm out at night - I guess this would have been picked up in previous MOTs.
Restriction: I saw a post that mentioned removing the plastic mushrooms from the carbs. Is this quick and easy to do? Saw this and got worried... (http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/carbremoval.html)
Legal stuff: Do I need to tell the DVLA? Do I need to tell my insurance?
Value: is it worth less?
Ask the obvious: Should I just stop worrying about this, and get out and enjoy what is a cracking bike on a nice sunny March morning?!
As to your comment about headlight alignment. From my experience I would go and get them checked. The reason I say this, is that the previous owner of mine never told me when I bought the bike that it was a German import. Though the clocks had been changed and he had owned it for 7 years, it wasn't until I had my first local MOT that the testers told me the headlights were European ones They could have failed it, but in the end put tape on the lenses and passed the bike. Rather than buy second hand headlights at stupid prices on ebay, I sent mine to Haslam motorcycle technologies in Doncaster and they converted the lenses to UK spec for £70.00 inc postage. I still had to play around with the adjusters on the back of the units, but once this was sorted, no problems with MOT'S and flashing lights from disgruntled on coming drivers.
