I got a call saying that the battery was definitely shot, so I took over a battery pack and jumped her off & rode my first BMW and then bought it.
It had a 5000 mile engine put in it ~25K ago. I'll ned to lube the splines and verify that the alternator is charging well - with the dead battery @ ~2k it showed 13.7Vs and @4.5K about same. At idle showed ~ 11.2-11.5V.
Rear MC may need attention and rear disk is a rch under minimum.
Before I took it on the road I drove it around a rather tight hi-rise condo indoor parking garage cutting through slots in parking spaces and was pleasantly surprised at the way it handled at low speed.
Of course, my 250 lbs of near muscle probably helped - ha ha!
Remember - I'm used to 350 lb bikes!
All-in-all stoked and looking forward to working on this bike and taking some trips onit.
