You can have safety check done on the bike @ your local dealer. If your in michigan i will do it for you for around 75. The dealer will charge about 125.

At that milege you should start to replace wheel bearing and rotating parts. The head stock should be checked but I really dont see it needing changed if the bike wasnt out in the rain much or in sandy salty climate. I would look @ the cush drive and how it shifts. The GSXR should shift kinda clucky. You should feel every gear when you shift into it. I have owned 6 GSXRs in my life and they all shift the same. Also listen to rattle in the head area, CCT was big problem with this bike. If it rattles stay far away from it.

If you need anything else let me know.
