This is now sold.
[s]Hi, Selling my LT for $1,000 with a whole lot of extras. The rego just ran out on the 25th and it needs a new set of tyres otherwise I'd re-rego it. Since lockdown ended I've been busy and let this slip past me. The broken Odo says 123900Kms, the same as the day I bought it (: I've put about 3000 more Kms into it, but the actual number is an unknown.
Bike has served me well. Did 3 trips out West NSW with it in the couple years I've owned it. Rides well enough for a 27 year old bike. I'm not doing the job I was when I got it so I just need a little nipper for the city and can't keep on top of the care and attention an ageing bike needs without garage space.
It has a few... "Bush" fixes I needed to do when I was out West hiding from Covid. The "ON" key switch wire was shorting and would cut out when you turned left so I re-wired it through the hazard light switch (who needs hazard lights on a motorbike anyway?). To turn the bike on you unlock the steering lock (I have the original BMW key that fits it and the panniers) then just flick the switch, push the starter and you're off. The cover for the radio is screwed down because the latch became brittle and snapped. The black plastic pannier frame has been reinforced with steel where it had cracked and been painted black. Strong enough to hold everything fully loaded for 2 trips West and back.
Has been kicked over parked at the train station so has some proper scratches on the RHS mirror plastic and a replacement mirror glass.
Has the "touring" clutch plate on the off chance it developed (which it did) a slight oil leak from the RMS. It will slip if you wring its neck in top gear, but is stable for normal riding. There's a whole thread about it in my history. I reckon the stop disc needs to be a 1.25mm one not the 1mm that's fitted.
Left, right touring panniers are in 27 year old shape but don't let water in, L one has a bit of a loose latch that attaches it to the bike. I sling a ratchet strap around it and the frame for big trips to be safe. Top box lid has separated from the hinges. Again I just sling a strap around it and it stays on fine. Also have a BMW branded cloth liner bag.
Radio and remote control works (antenna missing but still picks up stations fine), electric windscreen works, ABS works, battery is good, changed the oil and filter, gearbox input seal, RMS/clutch about 400Kms ago. Front brakes were reconditioned, rubber seals and pads replaced by Procycles in Jan 2020, 3000Kms ago. Prior to that it had a full fuel system clean and fork seals replaced in Dec 2020 Has a folder full of service history with it going up to 2020.
Clymer manual has seen a few greasy hands over the years.
It would suit a K aficionado that has the garage space to diagnose the RMS issue or someone with frankenbike plans. It runs well enough, took me 300Ks back to Sydney end of lockdown without complaining. It just has the RMS weirdness and needs new tyres and you're on. [/s]
