35000 Mile 'steamer'

hi guys, just popped over from the 'classics' forum as I'm thinking of buying a Tiger to keep my TBS company...

seen one advertised locally - '96 model with 35000 miles on it.. just had valve service.. is there anything on a Tiger of this age/mileage i should be particularly aware of?? when did the sprag clutch cease to be an issue??

cheers

Neil

Cool

well I've just been and bought it.. ! collect it later today, a bit scruffy round the edges (like me!) but lots of stamps and receipts for servicing - had oil/filter, valve check and new inlet rubbers in the last couple of weeks...
