2012 Yam F80 Carb. Any Problems?

One of my boys is eyeing up a rig with a pre injection F80 hanging off of the back. Anything in particular to look out for with this lump? Thanks

Carbs can be a nightmare especially if left stood for a long time make sure it ticks over ok & goes as it should without flat spots etc. I'd say a sea trail is essential unless it's cheap & your expecting to work on it.
Also worth checking the timing belt situation

I thought that I'd 'shuffled' off. After I offloaded the Vipermax, I kind of stepped back from ribs. I still have the SR4 which the Wife and I tootle about in. The SR is actually due another refurb which is on my list.

I've snuk back because the kids grew up. They range from 28 to 32 now. Where did that go? One of the lads announced that he'd like to buy a rib, so off we go again.

I hope that you're all fit and well lads? I'm seeing rib brands for sale now that we'd never heard of back in the day.
