now i know for a fact i was scammed!!! 2 years ago i bought my SP1 from the biggest Honda dealership in South Africa. with only 8 000 miles on the clocks. the bike looked brand new and spotless. so i reconed the miles on the clocks colaberate with the overall condition. soon there after i decided to do the valve clearance check. and all 8 shims were out of spec. but with a HUGE margin. i found it very strange. but either way, i replaced all 8 shims. so with all 8 shims out so far, i think someone screwed around with the speedo. what the saying; "nothing sells as easy as a low mileage vehicle" damn bastards! whats the easiest way to determine true mileage?
