Other Motorcycle: anything I can get.
Get the VIN no and there is a site on here you can check all the recalls have been done.

Frame will have been changed.

As DD says, check VIN. Some early ones were partial to eating 4th gear. Although not an official recall there should be info available on this site giving the questionable VIN range.

Listen for nasty noises when starting the engine - could be the sprag clutch which is no small job.
