Cheers.
I will have a little root around.
Just concerned that now with that thing possibly being fitted and not knowing how long its actually been in place for, whether the mileage is correct?
Its a nice bike and first impressions of riding it seem pretty good, I sold my old FZS600 last year after a few issues, but this one seems to run better.
Would be a shame to return it, but i only do about 3.5k a year commuting and if its done an extra 20k then it doesnt seem as appealing.
I wouldnt be too worried about the mileage being on the high side provided you have some evidence of service history. Do you know how many previous owners there have been?
You will get this information when your V5C arrives from DVLA.
My own bike (FZS 600S) like yours was showing 51300 miles when I bought for £999 back in February. previous owner was an all year round commuter type rider so was racking up some miles-again not really a problem since I had receipts for servicing/replacement of exhaust studs & stainless downpipes fitted also had braided hoses(Hel).
Now the things I have focussed on so far have been to do with mechanical/rolling chassis work. A 15 year old bike is going to need some attention to suspension,brakes,lube of swing arm,linkages & headset. Also valve clearance check if no previous data came with bike.
Truth be told I am a bit OCD with bikes and over time I want to make this one run as well as poss also do some cosmetic work over winter. These engines are pretty reliable assuming oil & filter & cam chain havent been neglected. Your bike looks a good un so work out how many years you will have to ride to "go round the clock".
Have just replaced carburettor to cylinder head rubbers and fitted parts from carb overhaul kits. Bike is @ local garage today having carbs synchronised as I dont have a set of vacuum gauges-my mate does but hes away sunbathing & I want the bike for this weekend for Llangollen Bikefest!!!
Heres mine as she came in Feb:
