Bike For Sale 2007 BMW R1200 GS Adventure SOLD

[spdtrpl]

2007 BMW R1200 GS Adventure
I bought this bike specifically for a 5000 mile road trip this year, so I went through the bike and replaced any worn components (clutch, driveshaft, gearbox seals, sidestand, etc, etc,) at the same time as I like my bikes to look good I replaced any components that looked old or worn (headlight, turn signal lenses, handlebar pad, heated grips (bought the OEM grips)screen winglets, etc, etc). I installed a set of ELKA shocks which are fantastic and transformed the ride and handling, also with the preload on min the seat height is a low 32.5”.. I’ve spent a large amount of money and time to get her into excellent condition and she’s a very nice bike to ride…Now the summer trip plans have changed, and she’s for sale.

I suspect its also had its recalls: fuel pump, front brake lines, rear hub update? Did it lose a rear main seal which is why you did the clutch seals update? It is a nice looking bike.

Thanks Ed,
When I had the bike apart to replace the clutch I found the balancer shaft seal was weeping. As it's a relatively big job to get to the clutch it seemed a good opportunity to replace the gearbox seals while they were accessible.
Other things I had forgotten - Alternator belt is new, and I replaced all those small plastic covers that go over the pannier locks - admittedly they are very small detail but usually they are bent or missing.

Sounds like you did a good job on it. What did you do with the shaft?

So, I have to be 'that guy'... Did the recall stuff that Ed mention happen? I'm new to this. The bike does look clean. I'm in SA.

Ed,

I pulled the driveshaft as I wanted to check both the front and rear UJ’s. The rear was good but the front wasn’t perfect. Luckily I found a low mileage driveshaft in good condition so I replaced it.

thank goodness it sold! I'm wondering if those older gen shafts had higher quality Ujoints than current ones now undergoing the "service bulletin inspection for rusty u-joints (something like 2013-2021 or so). I have not had my 2016 apart, but ridenow did the check and said it was fine. The bike had never seen moisture of any kind though.
