Should I be worried? 1973

[smollberg]

I think im gonna buy this bike from an old friend. She have not had any problems with it but its a 1973 and from what ive heard they seem to have a few problems with that model.
Here u can also see the non matching numbers of the engine and frame.. should that be a problem?

Greatfull for any help. 
Best regards.

Looks like it has the deep sump and an oil cooler=upgraded version, less problems ;-)

Cheers

I agree with Peter. Most of the issues back in the day were oil related, and the deep sump and oil cooler should mitigate them. I would also "assume" the engine includes the other improvements that came along over time as spelled out in the various service bulletins.
