Check to see if the front sprocket nut has been changed to the updated one yet. If it hasn't you might want to consider getting it done.http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?PHPSESSID=af91pi5hghk1u4r66hu5p65um4&topic=92.msg362#msg362
Check the downpipes. They tend to rust through to little holes.

I've got a complete Motad system to fit when I get round to it.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. The downpipes are black, but these could be aftermarket/upgraded. I'll have a proper look when I go to collect it and check the chassis code.Looking forward to riding it, I've only been on a CG125 so far
