I'll go through the bike ( as you do)  but it's the obscure things that owners know about - so thanks to you all for replying.
The slave seal sounds worth doing Eric- I usually have a Scottoiler - but maybe not on this one.
And the sprocket bearing - cheers Seth.
Looking for stuff online the headstock grease issue seemed to come up often and it's an odd one coming from a Japanese manufacturer.
I've been looking for a few weeks and I am going for a bike I saw yesterday. If it all comes together I will put a quick post in the other section.
Hope to meet up locally sometime Chris. 
Hooli's 180k is just incredible.
Pleased to have found this forum. Thanks again to you all for replying.

I've a scottoiler on mine, not an issue with the slave. I clean it out occasionally (every couple of years probably) and still on the original slave seals etc.

No slave seal here either. I use grease to seal the metal plate of the slave. Apply to the edges and a blob around the outside of the hole where the pushrod goes through. Catches all the crud swirling around. Not a lot of crud though, thanks to the Grog method of chain care! No crud comes up into the master cylinder at all. :boogie:
