        The pipes being blue and discolored are a sign that they are getting too hot from running lean. It is often said here that cracked intake boots or old o-rings joining the boots to the head will cause this. I might run fine but it can burn valves and pistons. With the lows miles of your bike, they are probably original. Cheap insurance to check it out. Check your valves, it really improved the performance of my 450 when I adjusted mine. You have a fine low mile bike there, it is worth fine tuning into proper working order. Where are you located?

              Very nice indeed! Looks pretty well maintained cosmetically, hopefully the same mechanically
