Hello!
I purchased my 2006 ST1300ABS in June and started doing some "routine" maintenance to get it ready to ride. Of course I rode it before I bought it and didn't note any issues, so hopefully this was all preventive maintenance... It had about 42,000 miles on it; but I think I got a good deal. It came with a Helibar Riser w/Outlet (and Ram Ball mount) and switchblade style highway pegs. Prior Owner also put in a Turbo Tom fuel pressure regulator which hopefully isn't a problem.
Once I got it home I did the easy stuff like oil changes, brake & clutch fluid changes, lubed the throttle cables- then I started reading the forums... and got busy:
I'm also attaching a picture. It's the only one I have at this point. I will eventually get a few more decent pictures.

Once I got it home I did the easy stuff like oil changes, brake & clutch fluid changes, lubed the throttle cables- then I started reading the forums... and got busy:
- Cleaned the Radiator
- Replaced the coolant
- Replaced the Plastic coolant Tee (which was on its last legs)
- Replaced the Thermostat
- Replaced Air Filter
- Replaced Fork Seals (and bearings)
- Replaced Fork Oil
- Installed Tipover Bars (GW style)
- Cleaned a Lubed Windshield Cables & Motor
- Serviced Rear Shock
- I also replaced most of the Tupperware from Black to Red due to some damage on one of the black panels (new panels were cheaper than bodywork).
- Switched all bulbs to LED
- Wired the Givi Box to Brake Lights
- Installed Quarter Harness
- Installed additonal aux outlet in side glovebox
- Istalled Heated Grips
- Installed Grip Puppy padding on grips
- Installed LED strips in Side mirrors for extra turn signal visibility
I'm also attaching a picture. It's the only one I have at this point. I will eventually get a few more decent pictures.
