    Not a lot to say about it for the moment: the bike has almost 77 000 kms on the counter, previous owner has ridden it for three years, no issue. THe guy has various models of bikes in his garage, mostly trail and/or ice-racing bikes, and a RZ350 too (that is for sale).

    I'll bring my baby in a big storage barn closer to my place during this week, but this is not a storage I can easily access whenever I want to wrench or anything else. So I'll take more pictures the day I'll put it in there and then say goodbye until spring.

    Feel free to send me your observations, I'm sure I haven't seen all the obvious flaws, lol!

    Congrats on finding and buying a 900!!

    First of all I'd give it a good bath which will also help you notice more things requiring attention.

    Valve clearances, brake line age, tire age, fuse box, and brake pads are the things i would do/look into first!

    Thanks for the answer, that's pretty much what I had in mind.

    Yep, this is a dirty little thing! The guy should have ridden it late in the fall.
