Hi, new to the forum. I'm aa rc51 owner (albeit a highsided one that is currently garage bound.... .... gotta love an unexpected leak on a side mount rad mid corner.... anyways....) I'm looking at a VTR and have come across one with 60+ on the odo sounds like it's been well looked after and ridden by a veteran rider with many touring miles on it. the maintenence sounds like its been well cared for. has steering bearings, and valves serviced "recently" and has the APE. So in general the rider sounds like he/she knows what they are talking about. With the great info on the forum I have learned about the CCT issue etc but I'm wondering if there is anything else that I might look into with a bike of this amount of road experience .... R/R perhaps?

TIA!

 

we need more details, such as year of bike, and 60k what (miles, km), color, other mods...

 

it's a red 98 with 62K miles. it has a speedo healer, 2+ in the rear, sargent seat, and some side racks and hard luggage.

 

that seat sounds uncomfortable, I'll trade you my stocker. but since it has apes, the r/r is the last you should worry about for a while except the regular maintenance items(tires, oil, filters, brakes etc)
