I believe this varies by area, due to soil differences and things like that. I'm no expert, but have heard differing things in different parts of the country.

I don't recall it, but I sold my Katana 1100 with 100k miles on it after buying the XX.

I didn't have cats, so maybe it doesn't compare, but I did full throttle for a pretty long time once on I-8. No heat spots.

I'm no expert on STP since I use it once a decade, but from memory... STP is rarely needed. If you use it, there's a special male connector. That goes into a device with a special female connector that grounds it. You ground both ends IF they have a common ground, only one end if you don't. Ask me how much money I've made replacing shit when people grounded a cable on two ends with separate grounds, and lightning induced voltage into one end (even though the building wasn't hit, it was just in the air). An attic should never have STP, that's crazy. Oh, and in outdoor applications you ALSO need a surge arrestor with its own ground. If the device is PoE, then obviously you can ground both ends. My last run of it was almost ten years ago, to go around 450 feet (yes, out of spec, it worked) under a boat dock. The far end was specifically ground tested to be sure it was equivalent to the head end, and we grounded both. Again, no expert on STP, but I think if you have existing ungrounded runs of it, you're going to be fine. I don't think there's a need to remove it.

The heat damaged exhaust is really weird.

No, I mean how will you ground the STP cable.

You'd be a fool not to, Oscar has a great place to drink.

Are the devices on both ends compatible with shielded Ethernet cable? Are you aware of the grounding requirements?

Agreed, and I think everything here has been respectful and helpful.

I failed to follow our own rules. My apologies, this section is not, indeed, Sparta. I stand by all of my comments and think all comments in this thread are accurate. Note that even I can be moderated, if the mod team feels like they should.

The OP just reported the post whining that we're all trolls and trying to sabotage his sale.

Another honest thought... I would look at your bike and move on. You're so far from anything I'd consider paying that I wouldn't even bother to ask.

No problem, totally understandable.

There are a bunch of LED tail light options, most with built in turn signals, on aliexpress.com. I shopped and then decided I really did like the stock light and even turn signals. One signal has a bad lens so I just ordered OEM replacements on Aliexpress for $16.

When you get to under $3k, you might have takers. That might even be pushing it. Nicely upgraded bikes, with FI, sell around that range. The low miles is probably not meaningful to any XX buyer, they last forever anyway.

The ideal place for one of my bikes is probably going to become the space behind the compressor, so some sort of roller may help. Right now the only reason for the roller would be to work on them. But first, I need to put down pavers or concrete so the Jeep top stand can get out of there and into the back yard.

The downside I see to that one is that it's for the sidestand only. So *working* on the bike that way might suck. And yes, it can be modified, but by then you might as well build something or buy a different one.

This is what suggests fraud. Partly because of the decline part, and partly because he was willing to pay hundreds in fees for doing that.

Accurate. My brain just learned to shift about one second after pulling it.

We need a professional root cause analysis here.

What.The.Fuck Who the hell would even think that a check to buy a vehicle is going to fly?

That's Monkey yellow. Did you paint that? Did you clean it with acetone first?

A motorcycle shop I used to go to had one of those for display bikes. If the bike doesn't have rails, they would put a piece of plywood under it that had foam glued to one side.

I'd love to pop the wheels off right now. And it's also just awkward to move it around when it's mostly disassembled. Or to stop your work to move it and gain space when needed. Goddammit I may be talking myself into a welding project later.

That company has dozens of them listed, by specific motorcycle types and models, just to get the search results. The one in the first link really needs a strap if it's being used for anything bigger than a dirt bike.
