Hi everyone,

I just ran an AA lemon check on a FXR brought on Trade me http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_detail.asp?id=43732740, and on the check it came up with some unusual speedo readings.

5 - 02-09-2000 4,955 1,100 1 year and 7 months
6 - 16-08-1999 2 4,953 1 year


This sounds a bit dodgy to me, what does everyone else think? Could this be a typo, or does it sound like the speedo has been buggered with? Apparently the speedo shows about 5600kms at the moment.

Thanks a lot!

Stefan

Edit:The speedo is digitial.

pretty black and white really. Speedo might have been replaced or modified.

should probably have 10k on the clock. Still a reasonable deal though.

As Patrick says, sounds like damage repairs. Could even be a simple typo
