A '99 with 430 miles??? Wow! That's hardly enough to keep the gas fresh. Does it run ok? Usually these bikes have problems with the carbs if they sit too long. Best of luck and welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum... one thing to watch is the automatic cam chain tentioners or CCTs - they have been known to fail and cause serious valve damage. They usually get noisy before they go but it could be just seconds before... Some guys say to replace them with the manual versions to be safe... do a search for more info.

 

At 430 miles? Maybe we should ask him what kind of oil he's running!

 

My bad typeing , meant 4300 miles .

 

On a warm day (80F and higher), on the open road, just below the straight up position, in traffice just straigth up or a little beyond at which point the fan is triggered. Below 75, on the road it runs noticeably below that point, but stopped it can quickly go right to straight up again.

No recalls. As mentioned, watch/listen for CCTs. Suspension upgrades transform the bike. They should be your first mod. That, and a Sargent seat.
