Have a chance to even swap my 08 DRZ400SM for a 04 XB12r with 3400, yes that is correct, 3400 miles. The owner states that it stumbles a little off idle and that it has new injectors, pump and battery.
From the reseach I have done looks like a TPS reset and a tune should take care of it. I am no fan of the "stealerships" and do all my own work, but before comitting or spending too much time on the trade, I wanted to see what to look for.
Also, because no one can ride stock, I see the RSS and CC breather seem to be a place to start for reliability issues. I will probably do an exhaust and intake at some point and wondering what folks are doing for the programming {if needed}.
I am located in Austin TX so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 
Check for oil leaks around top of motor (rocker gaskets).

Check all 4 header exhaust studs to confirm none are broken.

Two things i missed when i bought my 2008 xb12r with 11k miles. $1k in repairs.
