I am selling my lovingly maintained 03 with all the farkles. It is a great bike and has been absolutely 100% reliable for the almost 10 years I've owned it. A few years back at the FJR rally in Sonora I was told it was the cleanest 03 anybody had ever seen. All services always done on time and...

I have an 03 and I recently came back from a trip and after a few days there was a small drip on the floor under my right front fork. I found brake fluid is leaking from the bottom brake hose junction on the right side. I went online to order a new hose and they aren't available, on backorder...

We have a road trip planned starting Saturday morning May 31st and returning Sunday June 8th. We'll be leaving from northern LA going up the Sierra until we pick up the Cascade and when we hit the Columbia river turn west to the coast. One flex day on the coast of Oregon then returning via the...

I have an 03 with 48K miles on the clock. In the last few months I've noticed the rear brake pedal seems to be a liitle sticky and sometimes it doesn't return all the way by itself. It doesn't seem to be dragging the brake but it does keep the brake light on. I reach under it and I can pull it...

I'm doing the valve check on my 03 (CA model). I was told by a motorcycle mechanic friend to make sure I replace the seals where the water lines come out of the head. I don't have it all the way apart yet but I see two metal pipes coming out between the spark plugs that look like water lines...

My wife and I are riding our bikes from LA to Portland, spending a few days vacationing and then taking a leisurley ride on the the coast highway back to SF before beelining back to LA. I'm looking for the best day trips out of and around Portland. The Columbia Gorge and Astoria look pretty...

I live near LA and we're planning to take 3 days to tour up the California coast roughly to the Oregon border before turning inland and coming home down the Sierras and stopping at Lake Tahoe. I'm wondering if anybody knows of a nice place for my wife and I to stay somewhere near the California...

I have an 03 with 22K miles and we're planning a 3K mile + tour from LA to Vancouver, BC in a couple of weeks. I want to make sure my bike is in tip top shape but I'm not clear on what maintenace needs to be done. I've read my manual but am looking for some real world advice. 1. Oil and filter...

I bought my used Gen I with a VStream which is great in the winter. But it's summer in LA and I'm cooking. Does anybody have an old short Gen I windshield laying around they'd like to sell? I'd like a stock one but aftermarket could work too. Thanks, Jeffery [email protected]

I bought a used 03 last winter and the PO has installed an accessory plug on the left side of the fairing near the flasher button. I hadn't even looked at it becasue I had no use for it. But in a few weeks I'm going on a long trip and would like to power a GPS. I looked at the plug this weekend...

I'm looking for somebody who knows of a good solution for touring clothes. I have a set of Tour Master jacket and pants that are waterproof and have a removable thermal liner. (I live in CA by the way) This is what I wear in the winter for day trips. I have a set of First Gear mesh jacket and...

I've figured out the PO of my bike somehow moved the handlebar cores our further than the stock position. The flange surface of the bar end is 8 mm away from the end of the handlebar when it is bolted down tight. So I need to get the cores out and re-position or replace them. Does anybody know...

I recently bought a used 03 in cherry shape with 12K miles on the clock. I love it but am fine tuning a few things to make it work for me. One of the two previous owners added new grips which are ribbed and tapered, I'm pretty sure they are BMW grips from searching past posts on this forum. They...

I want to add tank protection to my recently purchased 03 because I wear riding pants and I've found them to be hard on the tank finish. I've searched all over the internet and can't seem to find many options. I want a tank bra that covers the full back half of the tank. I ordered one from...

I am trying to change the grips on my 03 and on the right side the bolt that goes into the end of the handlebar will loosen and start to come out then it stops. It seems the bolt should just thread right out, is that right? I'm a little afraid to twist real hard because I don't want to break it...
