2013 Yamaha YZF R1 1.0L Petrol · LF13 FFO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test in April 2025 at 10,367 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for a missing rear reflector which was rectified on site. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components are meeting minimum legal standards, as no recurring defects or advisories have appeared in the record since the initial exhaust issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 800 miles per year. The data shows a significant deceleration in use, with only 253 miles covered between June 2022 and August 2023, and just 253 miles recorded in the final two years between tests. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing often invite age-related degradation such as rubber perish, fuel contamination, and internal corrosion that mileage alone does not reflect. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as testers flagged a noisy exhaust in both the 2021 and 2022 tests. Although the bike passed subsequently, the recurring noise suggests potential internal baffle wear or a leaking manifold that requires verification. Given the low usage, it is also critical to inspect the tyres for flat spotting and check the brake fluid for moisture absorption, as these components often fail when left stationary. Check the fork seals and suspension linkages for signs of seizing or cracking from the long intervals between use.
