I want to finally introduce to you all my 01 Girly I bought back in Nov 11. I have had it now for about 8 months and have been riding for a bit, then tear it apart and wait for parts. I am now a pro at removing the tank thats for sure!!
I purchased bike for $600 because it wouldn't run. The bike sat for about a year. The owner pointed me in the direction of the fuel system. He was right, it was the fuse to the EFI computer. I replaced the fuse, and it fired right up. Hard to argue with that! Here is a list of what I have done thus far:
-Powerbronze taller windscreen
-Heidenau K76 front tire(PO had put on a wrong size dunlop street tire)
-front and rear brake pads
-BMW handguards w/ Touratech handguard spoilers
-Buell Uly mirrors and turnsignals
-SE ProTaper ATV mid-rise handlebars
-all brass 90 degree elbows
-new spark plugs
-mobil 1 4T oil change
-Nissan radiator cap w/ Engine Ice coolant
-Metal fuel fittings(PO had removed the original plastic ones and installed AN fittings straight up to the fuel rail.)
-K&N air/oil filters
-new battery
-19T front sprocket
-Happy Trails 45L panniers
-Givi 39L top box
-SW Motech centerstand
-Thunderbike crashbars
-adjusted fuel table tune via TuneECU
-good over all cleaning, instrument lights replaced
Things left to do:
-airbox mod
-tank bag
-headlight guard
-exhaust guard
-exhaust
-replace rear Metzler tire with Heidenau K76 rear tire
-replace chain
I have yet to do a real trip because I have been trying to get all the bugs worked out and for me to feel totally confident in the bike. I am planning to take a 4 day ride up to southern Oregon and back down the PCH(Pacific Coast Highway) over the 4th of July.
Here are some pics, not the greatest, but pics
