Price dropped to $6,000 here and at ADV. Rather make a deal here than sell it on eBay. Make me an offer. Email: RanchoBob at gmail.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate that.

I put thousands of miles on the Electrosport with it driving the HIDs, PHIDS, grip heaters and my jacket liner. Dunno, but no issues for me. FWIW, I am including the OEM stator as well.

Yeah, you're right, I should strip off the farkles but I'm just not ready to do that. I figure someone will come along who wants a turnkey bike and I'm not stuck on six grand. I just kinda looked at Cycle Trader to see where things were and put it there. Hope springs eternal. Oh. It's got...

Photo of the dash. Thanks for looking. :)

Thanks, Cav. Really going to miss having this baby in the garage.

Hate to sell, but I've put a R1200GSA in the garage and the FJR just doesn't get ridden enough anymore to justify keeping her. I'm starting with an ad here before I go to the world because I got so much help from this forum. Not giving her away, but don't feel like I'm being outrageous in my...

Heh. Definitely not. Most of the time I prefer to ride/drive my vehicles into the ground. That said, my wife has told me that if I sell my old M3 ragtop (which can't pass smog without spending more on it than it's worth), my XR600R (plated) and her Ninja 250 I can add a BMW 1200 GS Adventure...

*mutter mutter mutter* Oh well. Great in concept.

Interesting. Does my theory hold up? Is the Gen 2 cooler than Gen 1? If so, what would be involved in a retrofit? Pump, fuel pipe, injectors....

Strange. I'm used to my groin getting cooked by a hot tank, but never considered surgery. ("Ballectomy." Ouch. I thought the vasectomy was unpleasant enough.as an option.) *head scratch* I'm convinced part of the problem is that fuel is pumped from the fuel tank to the injectors and back into...

The oil has quite a few miles on it. Might as well change it now, eh? Suggestions on where I can get a new glove box for the bike? The lid got ripped off quite a while ago and I might as well put it back in. Kinda handy on occasion. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm a bit behind on some maintenance, but the only thing I really must do is change the engine and fork oil. Thanks!

I'm going to be taking the FJR on a longish (1,100 mile) road trip and was thinking I should go through her from stem to stern and make sure all is well before I hit the road. Suggestions as to what I should check in particular or any links to lists? Haven't had much luck with my Google Fu...

Leather is slick and I'd go a different direction if I had it to do again. I'd give velour a shot before I went with vinyl, though. Of course, if you get velour you should probably consider painting your bike avocado or harvest gold. :D Rancho
