Ben, Boxer was very good about maintenance on his bike. But he may have slacked off a bit concerning keeping the antifreeze in the tankside radiators serviced on a regular basis. Might want to check on that. Very important. Thanks! I know this is an oft over looked item. I'll check them immediately...

Looks like most of the noise I'm hearing is worn throttle shafts, mainly so on the right side. I would imagine this is also creating a vacuum leak and only exacerbating the already common surging problem. I've ordered the build kits from Bing and will be tearing into both TB's soon.

My location is in Atlanta, Ga. Any fellow riders here?

Thanks for the warm welcome! I do realise the mileage is high and could be a concern, but I will be performing all repairs on my own and do have a very extensive tool set and parts at dealer cost. I rode the bike again today and and falling in love (without letting the seller know this!). The only d...

Hi guys, first post on this site and love it so far. I've always been a BMW car fanatic, also a technician for several years and now service manager. Had many different BMW cars, but looking at my first ever BMW bike. Had several Hondas and loved them; well made, reliable etc. Hadn't really consider...
