CAPS LOCK ON WEBSITES IS CONSIDERED YELLING! IT'S ALSO MUCH HARDER TO READ.
Are you looking for a buyers checklist?

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

(B) The brake fluid is clear to light tan and perfectly transluscent (not murky nor brown nor black).
(C) The bike runs well. This is the best indication
(D) Spark plugs look like they should (see http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/tech_su...d.asp?mode=nml to compare yours to theirs).
(E) Engine doesn't make excessive ticking noises after it's warm.
(F) Lack of vibes (esp. in the 4500 - 6k RPM range).
But honestly, the only way to know that a bike has been service properly (outside of receipts proving it's been done) is to do it yourself
