The story thus far.
I had some running around to do this morning so I stopped by the dealership to take a look at it since it's only a couple miles away from me.
I was not looking at it to purchase it. I was pretty much looking at it to see what was wrong with it. This is what I found.
It has a vstream tall windscreen, ram mount with some kind of connector on the left grip (gps???), aftermarket seat (maybe corbin), stock seat.
Looks to be in good overall condition, but hasn't been washed very well. Exterior is clean, but definitely road grime on swingarm, pegs, etc. Appears to not have been detailed for some time. No obvious signs of damage. May have been sitting outside for a time. Black plastic on side bags is somewhat oxidized and turning grey. Not much care was used in washing some areas of the fairing and looks like a dirty/sandy rag was used to wash it. Will most likely polish out, but you can definitely see the scratches. This was limited to the front areas where bug spatter is likely to occur. No scratches on the side or the tank.
No dents in the exhaust.
Bridgestone BT020 tires with good tread on the front. Rear tire was down on indicators in center of tread. Didn't check the dates but very likely OEM.
Amber tint to fuel in gas tank, but no signs of rust around filler neck. Gas is still clear though. Has that old gas smell during idle.
No liners for side bags.
Key worked in both bags and trunk.
Yamaha rear trunk with backrest. Metal plate on bottom of trunk, so if there was a recall for this year it's been complied with.
Started right up. Little rough idle, definite hesitation on cold accel under no load.
No obvious engine sounds when cold.
Put on center stand and ran it through a couple of gears. No obvious issues.
I did not ride it.
Right fork has oil on it and has dripped oil on right caliper and wheel.
Tool kit was there along with the saddlebag cover plates.
There's probably more, but can't think of it right now.
