I sold my 2008 ST1300A to a guy (and new member) in Utah. Today I emptied the bags, put the stock screen on, cleaned everything up and took 160MB of pics for him. It sits on the Tender when not in use and literally ALWAYS starts... but this time it didn't and I had to jump it. The battery is only 2 years old and I hope it was just a fluke. I'm putting my Antigravity kit in the saddle bag for him just in case, since the bike will sit 2 weeks before he gets it. I ride it to the shipper on Monday morning about 20 miles away (temps gonna be around freezing when I leave).
I bought the bike new and only got to ride it around 28,000 miles total. Working from home seriously limits mileage. Other than a mouse eating the wiring and this battery issue, I've had no problems with it. It's just time to move to something smaller and significantly lighter. So I'm searching around for another Vstrom 650 since I like the one I have already out in Phoenix.
So, Monday it goes away, but I'm not going away from this forum. I've read a lot, learned a lot and contribute when I can. I look forward to many more years of riding, just not on a ST. Hope to see you soon on my new ride!
