Do you know what mileage its done ?

Early bikes had soft valve guides ask if they have been done.

if its had a top box check rear frame just around where the rear loop joins back into main frame ....it snaps off.

http://www.multistrada.net/forum/viewtop...t=snapped+frame

is the dash misted and/or missing readout .....its vital to the bike running ....misting means water damage, can be replaced ....Multigatto does them for about £400

slow starting indicates corrosion of earth point...easy fix .....clean and grease.

Keys ...1 red +2 black (needed to activate new dash)

a belt change is easy 1hr job with minimal tools (belts£108)
