I went up to Ligioner PA with my Wife to visit her family for Christmas and this followed me home. I found it at the Honda Dealer in Spring Mills PA. Only 10779 on the odometer. $3999 OTD. They serviced the engine oil, oil filter, final drive oil, and replaced the front & rear tires with Metzeler Roadtec Z8's.

Since its been home I stripped it completely and cleaned & inspected everything. There's not a missing fastner or any cracked plastic. Brakes look good. I cleaned and gapped the plugs and replaced the coolant. Massive Farkle on order.

Its a 2006 model, non ABS, my other MC is a 2006 Goldwing which I will keep. This thing is SOO MUCH easier to work on vs. my Goldwing!

That's what I do also when buying used equipment. I like to find issues when I'm in my garage, versus on the road!
Bleed the brake and clutch fluid while the panels are removed. Specific sequence for bleeding the brakes.

Welcome from Southeast Georgia USA! The '06 non-ABS is the fastest and best color ST 1300. :biggrin:
 
Well I got it back togeather, wrapped the header pipes, installed some rear crash bars, installed the Heli Bars Riser with ball, installed the new VStream windshield, installed the Oxford heated grips, and installed some charging ports for GPS & air pump. The McCruise cruise control has shipped and the Corbin seat with Smuggler trunk was ordered. Took it out for a couple hour ride last weekend before the winter storm hit. Juno is guarding it for now ...
