Just sold my 2008 Yamaha XT250 and I'm planning to join the ranks of the FZ6R group very soon!
I'm looking at a 2009, private sale, which has about 2200 miles. By the owners description and photo appearance, the bike looks immaculate. I'm going to look at it tomorrow.
However, I asked about the break-in procedure they followed. They have kept the revs down and gone easy on the bike. Then I asked about the 1st oil change. They changed it after the first season, which was at about 1000 - 1100 miles. I know the manual says to do it at 600 miles.
Am I asking for huge trouble buying this bike, or is it really not too much to worry about? My optimistic side says they kept the revs down, so the actual engine usage may not be quite that high ...
Opinions welcome.
