2009 GTR Buying Advice, Know this bike??

[zedmeister]

Hey Guys,

Thank you so much to you all for the replies!! You've been a great help with advice on these machines, it's also great that some of you are so local, could be good.....

Well, this morning the dealer emails me and asks if I've made a decision etc, I email back saying that it's a little on the expensive side for a phase 1 and has only had basic servicing so far but I like the bike and am thinking of a potential deal to put forward.....

Come back to an email saying the bikes now sold :-(

Aye buddy all of the above .
On the battery ...
Because the KIPASS draws a current constantly it's a deffo it has sat on a trickle charger all of its life .
So in all probability it's ok ... me personally would hoof a new batt in coz then you have a deffo start point .
The twat nav and grips is an easy self doo .
If ya gets stuck just holler 

Actually, the KIPASS system doesn't draw constant current.  If anything is drawing, it's the clock and that's my nute.  The KIPASS system only draws after the key knob has been pushed down.  The red light goes off in 24 hours.  I've let mine sit over a month without issues, sad to say.  I've never had a battery tender on it.  Possibly you're drawing in negative waves causing the battery to discharge prematurely.

Nice low mileage.  Needs a new cooker knob and a battery in the fob, by the looks of it

Landshark i honestly wonder if hes putting you on and told you that because he didnt want to do a deal. That seams extremely quick to sell a touring bike out of season. Well if hes true then it wasnt yours anyway and if hes not then he will have it hanging around and end up reducing price anyway. Either way your name is on another bike, the one you were meant to have eh. Chin up n dont give up eh 👍👍👍😁

Take ya time I say.....I wanted a 2010+ bike and looked at a few, fell in love with a few, got disappointed with a few then came across a 2013 model with 325 miles on it from new at £7500 - snapped it up and rode away two days later.  Took it straight to my local garage for a full service and have never looked back. That's nearly 12 months ago now, and it's still only got 4500miles on it.

Great bike

Ebay item 152310962262 currently listed on a 62 plate @ £7500 with 10k miles if it helps ?
