Leaving for a week in So. Cal on Sunday, so have some time to stew on this. The guy seems to be a knowledgeable Duc owner and I suspect he's representing the bike as it is (offered to drop off bike for PPI if I wanted, etc). He had purchased a set of take-off FE carbs assuming it would be the easiest path to resolve rough idle. In the meantime, his dealer instructed him to run some fuel additive and he said it mostly resolved the issue. Also has an aftermarket set of CF slip-ons that were never installed. Had belts replaced last year and the bike sat almost unused since.
Will ask him about seepage around cylinders/heads and the color of head-studs. Gotta stop looking at the pics and reading your input about how much character these bikes have and how fun they are to ride. I have an R1150GS Adv, but when a shot of adrenaline is needed, it falls short. The itch continues...
Thanks for the input and advice. Keep it coming!
