Bought a used bike with 40k - guy had receipts but not for a valve check. Swore he had it done. Maybe BS ? At about 52 running in cold and very wet conditions after parking 45min a valve stuck. Didn’t get it fixed, picked up a different ST with about 20k. Certainly going to have them...

Hi Cyclops, I’m at my storage and can send pics of the parts bike. NOT crashed. Missing abs pump and headlight cowl. Has headlight but two small tabs broken. Clean title in my name. Mark ‘Gonzo’

Hi, Hanover powersports in NJ did the diagnosis on the parts bike (stuck valve). Both bikes are located at Goshen NY. Haven’t sold anything. Seriously want to sell 1) the on the road bike with the Sargent seat + original and low+high windshield @ $9000. The parts bike with the extra body panels...

Hi, I crashed on my crash bar bags and tore up the bag and most of the stuff inside. Just saying.

Yes, $11,000 with a free motorcycle and parts bike ! Seriously, not looking to sell parts, it’s a package.

Hi, I got burned by a ‘promise’ that valves were done, but just short of the second check/adjustment running in cold and rain when parked and cooled down a valve stuck . So won’t do that again. Make sure you have service records. Gonzo

Hi , I’m fine to separate the bikes and yes, there is a title for the parts bike. It’s missing the abs pump and the headlight cowl. I do have the headlight but it has two small tabs broken. I can get more pics. Gonzo

Hi, I have two STs. One road ready and the other is a parts bike. I’m needing to sell both (landlord gave me 90 days - going to remodel this crusty farmhouse). On the road is a ‘16 ES. 20k, new tires, two windshields, sargent seats, altrider skidplate and engine guards, auxiliary led, touratech...

My abs light came on getting out of mud. Turned off traction control and gave it the beans. ABS light came on and didn’t reset. Got lucky - have a parts bike and my shop swapped it out. Still was an expensive repair but didn’t have to buy a new pump. Have heard of bypassing the pump. Good luck.

Hi, I have one on my parts bike if you want to keep the same. Let me know. I have a happy trails and like the size. Not much heavy luggage that far back so no strength testing.

I’ve been told to replace the bearing (and o ring) when doing the seal on the final drive. Anyone know where to get - Yamaha #93316-01403-00 What’s the chance it’s bad at 18k ? Although this bike was riden extremely hard by the first owner (who also was a hack mechanic) so assuming the worst...

Hi, Pretty sure it’s a Yamaha filter, don’t recall. I’ll check.

Hi Boris, I drained it on the centerstand tipping it front to back, although now I’ve heard to also put it on the sidestand to get the last out. All my other bikes have a dipstick. Don’t like the sightglass, stupid design in my opinion. Anyway, feel pretty confident that I got most if not all...

What do you think, ignore the light and possibly replace switch next oil change ? I have a parts bike - ‘15 - so… Soon I’ll write the story about how that bike puked.

Mostly. Have caught some air off road.

Hi All, I added the remainder of the gallon and it did make a difference. The light is back to intermittent. Certain rpm’s it’s off but comes on more or less anytime. Haven’t noticed a pattern so much. Anyway, a bit better. Might go for the ‘tape fix’ and cover it. So f’ing distracting...
