Subject: I'm going to buy an XRV and I need some advice.


I've been lurking around the mailing list for about a week now, because
I've finally managed to find a secondhand (fourth-hand, actually)
XRV750L to buy. I just need some advice from owners of these fine beasts
if there's anything in particular I should be looking for? Is there
anything which is known to give recurrant problems? Anything which goes
bang? You know the sort of things. The bike in question is an April 1990
model, UK spec with 29,000 miles on it (about 46,000km). Is the engine
likely to be good at this age - the receipts I've seen prove it's been
services every 5,000 miles with oil, filters, plugs etc.
The only thing I really noticed about it was that the clutch was very
tight to operate - is this likely to be an old cable that needs
oiling/replacing or the clutch itself.

Any help / advice / tips would be greatly appreciated, to help me
upgrade.
