T.M. Roe Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The ST is not the bike you pile 30k a year on. They have no problem doing it, it's just going to cost you. Now if you ride between 6k and 12k a year, can do some fundamentally sound wrenching (and dig doing it), and lust for the look and feel, this buds for you. It's like I own a Maserati Bora (only cheaper). If I were riding 25k a year like back in the day, I'd have a VFR...... Link to comment

lkraus Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) "Only known problem with bike is gas gauge is not accurate (I reset odometer every tank fill up to keep track of fuel level)." Sounds like the seller is unaware that BMW extended the fuel strip warranty. Or he's replaced so many strips he gave up... Edited January 18, 2017 by lkraus Link to comment

George S. Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Not trying to be a smartass, but to me a "find of the day" is either something not seen very often, or something that's common but offered as an exceptional deal. Edited January 23, 2017 by George S. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 to me a "find of the day" is either something not seen very often, A sixteen y/o BMW with 7500 miles is a pretty rare bird IMO. The money, maybe you're right on that. $3800 (I'd toss him 34) seems cheap to me after buying a few new BMW motorcycles.

Yeah, that would be nice, if there were lots of good deals or cool bikes out there. But, it's winter and times are slow. This thread has recently kicked up some good discussion about bikes I'd never think a thing about. Link to comment

szurszewski Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I sold my RT in Olympia to a guy form B-ham back in September for a few hundred more than that - similar miles and I think a bit better condition, though not a whole lot. Well, the tires were better anyway Link to comment

Dennis Andress Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nice! He says the clutch slave cylinder is bad, and that he'll soon replace it himself. For all that work the rear seal and clutch plate should be changed at the same time. Link to comment
NickInSac Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nice! He says the clutch slave cylinder is bad, and that he'll soon replace it himself. For all that work the rear seal and clutch plate should be changed at the same time. Ditto! You beat me to it. Along with tires. Looks great in white though. I got my 99 RS for $2200. It had 38K, no bags, and the front face was cracked. I got the front plastic off ebay for $200 delivered. The brakes are a little off, I rebuilt the Master and changed pads. The brakes are still a little off, or it's just the way the ABS goes on these, not sure yet. Now at 45k needs a rear tire, and now it leaks a little oil at the clutch. Link to comment
NickInSac Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Heh, just found this 99 Checkered: $2100 50K http://modesto.craigslist.org/mcy/5973939526.html Cranks, no start. Sold as-is, for parts/repair. All controls indicators function. Clutch and transmission are good. Requires work to become street operational. No bags I wonder if its a sidestand problem.

Dennis Andress Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Registration expired, no plates. A clean California title will be included. Almost sounds like a salvage title... The bottom of the rear main seal sits ~1/2" below the top of the oil when it's full. Running 1/2 a quart low on oil will reduce the amount of oil coming out. If there's a weep hole in the bottom of your bell housing: But the bike in say 3rd gear Wrap a bungee around the clutch lever to hold the clutch open Spray carb cleaner straight up into the weep hole and into the clutch while spinning the rear wheel. Clean up the mess Link to comment
