Probably not wear. More than likely it's the new owner getting accustomed to his new beast. With just 10.5K on the clock you either have recently replaced the rear tire or will soon do so. The rubber dampers are in the rear hub and are easily inspected with the wheel off. My bike has 137+K miles and still has the original dampers. The clutch cable on the other hand is probably due for lubrication if it has never been done. The original Honda cables have an inner liner of teflon that seldom need lubrication. If you do choose to lube them, make sure you use a lubricant designed for cables. An incorrect lube will just gunk 'em up.There's only 10.500miles on hut st. Could there be that ware.
