Welcome to the fast yellow club, although it has a bit of an outbreak of the black rash, it should still be able to outrun a blue one :D

Welcome :wave: :wave:

I do notice from one of your photos the bike is running with the OEM CCT's (cam chain tensioners). These could be the stopper moded varient in that case all should be fine. If they are not or you are unable to verify, get them upgraded to manuals or the stopper mod asap. Please read the knowledge base on the CCT issue. there is also the reg rectifier issue with the older pre 2002 models or is it pre 2001, again it is all in the knowledge base. As you will find out these are to only 2 major issues this bike will suffer from if not addressed, once dealt with they are bullet proof, of course depending on riding style. lloydies drinks loads of oil but thats mainly due to spending half it life on one wheel :lol: :lol:

However, feel free to ask any questions & you will get answers pronto & dont send the bike to the local dealer until you ask on here first as invariably the advice here is far more accurate than even the local Honda dealer :plainsmile
