Throttle has 2 cables, check what condition they are in, as well as the carb linkage as mentioned.

If you are unsure of the service history and know how to wield a spanner, give it a service yourself. Will be a good chance to familiarise yourself and also spot any other potential issues!
Didn't come with service history, just 1 MOT and TAX, i'm very handy with a spanner intend to service it this weekend.

How does this sound to all, they are the mods it came with:

UPRATED FRONT FORK SPRINGS
GSXR K4 REAR SHOCK
Dyno Jet
K&N Air Filter
New clutch plates and heavy duty springs.
Wood craft bilet aluminium clutch cover
Front and rear braided hoses
Pair of Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corse fitted
Rear sets fitted
Carbon Can Co exhaust fitted
