Anyway, I am looking around the local market - not a common bike around, but I found one for a decent price (by local standards) with 25k km. Went to look at it and the guy is a lawyer in his 50’s using it to commute from home-office-courts.
Chicken strips are capable of holding 3 boeings.

He was mainly complaining about extreme heat, but had a very documented file about everything done to this bike, besides valves.

So a couple of questions:

1. As much as I studied - valves require religious approach, every 20k km. How critical is the missing first inspection?
2. I had some chatter with local aprilia owners and one of them told me there are one time use parts (couldn’t be specific about it though) , when doing valves, which require replacement, but are notoriously hard to source and not every shop has them. Does anyone know more of this?
   3)How’s the heat? I mean, the lawyer is probably grandadding it on the right lane, but still, how bad is it and are there known solutions?
