Re: bikes
The only problem I remember with the 02's were some had early u-joint failures. Some 02's had some problems as it was said that the tooling was getting old but was nothing radical no recalls that I remember.
Otherwise they had all the upgrades from earlier years in engineering. 88 to 2003 were outwardly basically the same but they did make some engineering changes though out the production years.
I had a 02 and it was perfect for 120,000mi.
What is the mileage and are maint records available.
Maint thru the years is more important than anything else!!!.Good luck and Ride Safe.
