I have K7 but it came with the K6 cluster....is there any code scanners that can read the odometer from the ecu? Want to find the true odometer reading w/o dealer..last time this bike was registered was 2009 and the mileage was 3200miles...i was told that A LOT of bikers take clusters off during their ownership and just plug them back up when they sell to keep mileage down

As far as I know, the only place the mileage is stored is in the cluster. The ECM does not store it.
I know that car/truck/industrial engine ECUs store run hours or mileage. I don't see why a bike ECU wouldn't.
Yea this is an unfortunate part of buying a used bike. You can try running a CarFax on the bike maybe that will give you some more information. Was the bike sitting for years?
A well looked after engine can run past 100k miles.
A badly looked after one can be destroyed within 10k.
There is no electronic record that you can ever search that can tell you that.
Engines may look the same from the outside.
How does it run, is what is important. Mine's now at 56k and I hope the reliability and performance it has demonstrated since I have had it continues.
In some ways, as a POV maybe right maybe not, bikes with higher mileages early on seem to be better, as mileage means they are getting 'ridden', not 'trashed'. I think mine had its first owner for a few years and they did some proper solid mileage on it. Bedded it in nicely.
If it ends up with someone who likes to rev-bomb it every few miles from new, then expect it to blow up quick.

If you post some pics of the bike, focusing on front and rear wheel areas, rear sprocket etc... it should easy to tell if its been clocked, at that mileage near enough every nut and bolt should still look as new...

Check that the protection coating is still on the chip and the legs not scratched
That an indicator that the chip has been readed and or written
