hello. looking to buy a zx9r soon and I'd be grateful for any advice or information. Is there anything I should have a specially good look at beyond the basic stuff like chain, sprockets, tyres etc? Whats the lifespan of things like the rear shock, fork seals and steering head bearings? How often do the valve clearances need doing? I'm looking at bikes made between 1999 and 2003. thanks.

I've got a ZX9f2 on 2004 plate and thinking of selling it if you're interested.
