Not necessarily. If the neutral switch is failing or the light flickering, then I would start there. You can probably bypass the switch as a test.

Have you checked forums for your particular bike? Ever had major repairs done to it before?

This what I'll probably buy, but not until next season. Might be worth comparing to a the RT https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/d/west-mifflin-2015-bmw-r1200r-lc/6903982643.html

For sale. I'll add pics when I get back from vacation 2014 CB500x with 10,500 miles SW Motech crash bars, SW Motech belly pan, Leo Vince Exhaust. 2 complete sets of wheels/tires with brakes discs, etc...1 set up with street tires, and one with knobbies. Comes with stock & extended windscreens...stock levers and shorty levers. Luggage rack and top case. Center stand. Probably some other things I'm forgetting. If you heard me talk about this bike, you know it has been off road and it has been down. Crash bars did their job and there was no real damage. Tank, forks, frame, handlebars, even the levers were completely undamaged. I did replace the shifter & crash bars (they were scratched up but still fully functional). I bought this to get into adv riding, but was surprised at how good it is on road. It's quite capable in corners with lots of ground clearance. It even did really well on last year's 2,500 mile Gap Trip. It'll cruise all day at 90 mph and tops out around 110-115. Mechanically and functionally it's 100%. Cosmetically is in good shape except for some mud I've been too lazy to wash off. I think $3,500 is a really fair price. GPS could be negotiated.

I've been seriously considering a BMW boxer twin lately. Probably a 2015+ R1200r (maybe an R Nine T). It's a naked with bag and windshield options that make it a fully capable tourer.

Sorry my slow bike couldn't be there to lead.

I road part of the KAT last year. That was some good off road training.

Hmmm

In my experience this is true for the Deals Gap area. The popup storms typically aren't huge and with a little route planning you can mostly ride around them.

Last time we changed our route to avoid a storm on radar that never came. You're better off watching the sky than the forecast.

I wasn't asking for advice on how to make OR great again.

I did? Maybe you should read it again. Or are you just trying lock down this new title of retard???

Right. One of the few times I actually prefer the cover.

I prefer the Johnny Cash version 😉

Ask for advice>>reject advice>>shit show>>claim you weren't looking for advice>>I told you so>>retard Did I get that right? I wasn't paying that close of attention.

I had brand new RRs covered for a lot less

I pay less than $400/year total for 2 bikes with State Farm. As you might have guessed I have a few speeding tickets.

I beat it against rocks while I'm still wearing it.

I don't think they were bad bikes by ujm standards, but they were heavy and expensive. IIRC they even had fuel injection.

There was also the not-so-popular 6cyl KZ1300

Splitting hairs??? This thread is extra dumb.

I thought Wu Tang only provided financial advice. Didn't know they had songs
