    I wouldn't be surprised, but maybe he did a lot of commuting with little to no in town stop-an-go.
    But I think I would figure it into the budget, just to be safe.

    Yes, bike has been used for commuting and always used T6 -5W40 in it.

    Will ask more about OCI and valve adjustments today.

    Bought that puppy today.

    As per owner, he never adjusted valves and have always changed oil in 4K-5K with Rotella Synthetic 5W40. He rode all year long too.

    Have a few things to sort out on it and will be posting those in the coming days...

    Absolutely, will take some tomorrow and share.

    Not sure if it's a smoking deal or no, but I was like what the heck?

    I'll be slowly working on it to iron out few small issues which I noticed on my ride back home.

    It came with PR4's on the front and back with a lot of tread.

    Quite a few other good things, of course with some issues here and there too :)

    Tires not too old? Check the code on the sides.
    I hope it's not smoking.
    $800 sounds like a real good deal from here.

    Tires are from 15 and 16, I didn't notice any smoke of any kind.

    Although, I did notice a small hole in the exhaust and water(exhaust gases) coming out of it, maybe a weep hole for muffler?

    Yes the small hole at the front bottom edge of the muffler is for water (condensation) drainage.
