What's really bad is that you have to do all this just to change the air filter as well. It doesn't look like the part that's indicated by the Error Code is even serviceable. The whole throttle body assembly might need to be replaced.
This was a change of pace Jack. I know why I work on Older Bikes and You just showed Why LOL LOL! If it won't get fixed with a screwdriver pliers and a wrench You can have It!
Yes it was William. I don't usually work on my touring bikes but I was hoping this would be something simple. No such luck. It looks like I may be tearing into it again with the parts cost at $1300 and figure another couple hundred for labor. I sure love old 2 stroke bikes. They aren't much good for touring though.
I love the workshop very clean and organized this bike will be a good project to watch you fix up lots of cool added accessories
Thanks for watching. I never considered my shop to be either of those things though. The V-Strom goes to the dealer tomorrow.
That’s the reason I like the older bikes there a lot more user friendly.
Exactly!
All of this plugging in of computers, there's nowhere on the BSA to plug it! Best wishes, Dean.
Even if I could get at the damn black box, it's a sealed unit and I couldn't do anything about it. It's off to the dealer tomorrow.
Good morning Jack. Those newer bikes have so much crap on them that you have to take off just to be able to do anything to them.
