Hi,
As of yesterday, I'm a proud new owner of a 2013 ST with 7000 miles. Man is this a great machine. John from NM, if you're out there, thanks a lot.
So far I learned there is a CCT issue that needs to be addresses and a headlight harness recall. What else?
- Is there a an ECU flash/update that I should ask the dealer about when the harness recall is addressed?
- Any low hanging fruit to be picked with cheap/easy/free mods? You know, things like restrictor plates or baffles that can be removed?
- Any gotchas or flaws that I need to be aware of like the above mentioned CCT?
- Can I disable the rear ABS?
- On another ST I noticed 2 semi horizontal "mini" windshields on each side attached to the cowling by the top of the forks. Are these after market or missing on mine? For the life of me, I couldn't find these at Yamaha's part site. Now it feels like something is missing as four empty bolt/screw holes are staring at me.
- Other than the normal new bike stuff such as oil, fluid and filter changes, (as well as the other maintenance stuff listed in the owners manual), anything else recommended?
No doubt there is a question that I forgot and/or didn't know to ask. I am but a sponge needing to soak up ST knowledge.
Thanks in advance!
