I'm not finding any records anywhere of my bike having 18k or even 12k service. It has about 20K on it right now.
Assuming the worst case scenario - that the guy who sold me his bike was lying through his teeth and these two major service points never took place - are there obvious (or even not-so-obvious) signs that could confirm this? Should my engine be running like a smelly pile of dog excrement? Or would it be something that slowly wears my engine down to the point that it finally suffers an early, painful death?
It seems to run fine despite the charging problem I might still be having. It's finnicky in the lower RPMs, but this is to be expected of a monster, right? I have yet to do an accurate MPG check, but I'll do it next time I fill up. It seemed to be a little low last time I filled up, but again I didn't make note of any empirical figures.
