[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1449319, member: 19880"] With 5200 miles, there hasn't been enough time for poor maintenance to have had a serious affect on the bike. If the first break-in oil change was done then there is nothing to worry about. If tires are original then they will need changing soon. As for the matte paint, you either love it or hate it but is will show neglect sooner than other glossy paint. I love the "liquid silver" on my current 2011 and the "black cherry" that was on my '07. I would check it over very carefully. Check fasteners for tightness and/or proper torque, clean and lube everything (levers, brake pedal, shifter linkage etc.), flush brake and clutch hydraulics, change r drive fluid, change oil/filter and ride the crap out of it. Check the screws for the side bag locks and apply blue Loctite if it hasn't been done already. Might want to get an appropriate adapter and check steering head torque as well. [/QUOTE]
