I figured it was time for a new air filter. I was right!!  Many thanks to Sugerbear who helped me out immensely today with some maintenance. Got the new filter in, new clutch cable, brake and clutch fluids changed and a partial desmog. |

Presently approximately 41,000 on the clock. Assuming it is the original filter. I obtained the Valk in late September and it had about 35,000 miles when I purchased it!!

Look like a lot more than 6k miles so it would be anyone's guess.  |
