  • The centerstand and electrical recalls have both been completed.
  • New headlight.
During the last 24K miles, the only problems have been:

Front and rear low fenders broke off, as they usually do. The metal license plate frame was removed, as they tend to cause the brake lights to fall off (to much weight on the plastic light bracket). These are all common issues (check www.f650.com for more info on these).

The right side centerstand pivot bolt has been replaced under warranty (vibrated out, lost on the trail somewhere). The ABS cancel switch was replaced under warranty.

The bike is located in Tucson, AZ.

Price = $7,500.

Reason for sale: The next project bike is on the boat ;)
