[Stock parts from 2001 Bird]

If the shock is still available I will take it.

Before I go all Ebay I thought I'd give you, the true lovers of the marque, a shot at some of the remains.

Stock exhaust--Header and cans, pretty much perfect, about 5K on them $225

Stock seat, flawless, 5K $125

Stock shock, 6.5K $75

Stock fork cartridges and springs, 6.5K $50

Stock bars with grips, including switches and throttle, 5K $125

Prices plus actual shipping from Chicago. Local pickup welcome/preferred.

About these prices-- I don't really know what this stuff is worth, but most of these parts are literally like new, with very low miles, and never damaged in any way. If you guys think I'm out of the ballpark with something here, please speak up. I'd put these parts on here as "best offer" but I hate ads that don't at least show what the seller is thinking.

Also, I'm going to be radio silence for the weekend as I'll be out of town starting tomorrow, so if I don't get back right away it ain't because I'm rude. Monday.

Thanks very much!

[Front fender]

I have a front fender off a 2000 that has a gouge/scratch.

[R/R and Loom Fix questions....]

It is in front of the rear passenger foot peg. It is under the tape of the main wire harness at the bottom. You can feel the square shape and that is where you have to carefully cut out the connector.

[FI light]

The ECU being loose caused my Bird to stall at intermittent times and once I strapped it down no more problems.

[WTB...itty bitty Boots]

We have an Teknic Ballistic jacket Ladies size 6 which was only worn once. A few years old but in great shape.

[Stalling]

Thanks for all the tips as I will get busy checking things!

[Stalling]

My 2k bird is running smooth but it goes through a period of stalls. It will ride fine for a few days and then it will stall under deceleration. Idle is smooth otherwise and this problem is intermittent. Just curious if anyone knows what I should be checking.

Thanks

[Hard Luggage]

Thank you Joe!

Do the side cases get in the way with the rear foot pegs?

[Hard Luggage]

I am looking for some suggestions for hard bags for the bird?

Is Givi the best option?

Thanks

[K & N air filter recharge]

Hi,

A word of advice. Dont over oil K&N air filters. They make a big mess of your engine casing if you do.

Just curious how you know you over oiled the filter once it was buttoned back up?

[dead battery----charged battery???]

I had a battery problem a couple of months ago on my 2000 bird where as it would loose it charge on hot days. In my case I had to charge the battery to bring it back and after going over the electrical troubleshooting it was the R/R. Since replacement there is no more trouble and on a side note I was told the R/R was updated since the original.

[My Reg/Rec]

Ok, so I'm back with more charging issues. I've finally had enough, and I'm going to be replacing my R/R. But as you can see from the pic, it's not the standard R/R that some 99/00 birds have, that's why I was so hesitant to replace it. But finally, I'm not getting any charge to the battery, even though the Stator is putting out about 50VAC at 5K rpm.

I had the same problem back in June as I replaced the battery and after a few days the battery would not have enough charge to start the bike. I also had a reading of 50VAC at 5k so I ordered a new R/R and have not had a problem since.

[Headlight Problem Question]

Thanks Joe as I will follow your suggestions to narrow the problem down. I wish it would just go but when it comes on intermittently it is always more difficult.

[Headlight Problem Question]

This evening I was out riding and when I went to start the bird the headlight went out like normal but after it started it did not come back on. The high beam was also out but all the other lights on the bike worked fine. Since it was getting near dusk I started moving to get home and a couple of miles down the road the headlight came back on and the high beam also worked with no problem the rest of the way home. I checked the battery and it is fully charged so I was wondering if this sounds like a problem with the starter button?

Thanks for any insight and it is a 2000 bird.

Placed my first order with Mike Barth thanks to a tip from airborneXX. Price was the best I had seen and include that with excellent communication and fast shipping. Delivered on Friday just before the long weekend and I could not be happier.

[Wire Loom Fix]

Porterb123,

Thanks for taking the time to for pictures and information on the wire loom fix. I just picked up a 2000 Bird and the FI light would glow with the operation of the turn signal or high beam. I did take the connector apart and cleaned out the corrosion and there have been no other incidents of the FI light coming on with other components. Not sure how long the cleaning will work so I appreciate the hard wire fix information.

[Chain and sprocket life]

The stock chain and sprockets have 27.5k and are still holding up but the time is drawing near for replacement.

Are you the Gary I rode with last year when Tim (TJontheroad) crashed?

Either way welcome to the nuthouse

Hey Brett,

That day is one I will never forget and thanks for the welcome. I think Tim gave up riding for a while to follow other interests.
