Posted November 27, 20231 yr Hello all. I’m thinking of picking up this ‘15 with 33k on it. No maintenance records and it’s 6 hours away from me so I won’t be able to go look at it in person. I notice a kind of whiney sound and am wondering if that is normal for these motors. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
November 28, 20231 yr It seems to have Michelin Pilot 5 tires Paddock stand bobbins Full Graves exhaust Tank grips Grip puppies Sliders Engine guards FJR1300 foot pegs Tail tidy LED signals V-stream touring windscreen ...and he's done something with the brake line banjo bolts, but they don't seem to be braided lines ? Anyways, I think the slight whine you're hearing is a result of the exhaust. Sounds OK to me 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / GIVI E52 Maxia top case / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / GIVI DS2122S windscreen / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount
November 28, 20231 yr FWIW - that sounds just like my 2015 at idle. i.e. perfectly normal - at least in that recording of the sound.

November 28, 20231 yr How much? Oh U just said 3.5 Sounds OK to me. Some tasteful not overdone mods. The exhaust alone is worth over a grand. Is the stock shock spring also red, I can't remember as the K-Tech is red too? Is it as-is no warranty but with the helmet? LOL

November 28, 20231 yr The whine you describe is normal. Same for my 2019. There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession.

November 29, 20231 yr I found the first Tracer I made a deal on had an outstanding lien when I was standing in the owner's driveway to pick it up. Told me they couldn't clear the lien until they had my money. I walked away. The girl at the bank was surprised when I came back with the bank draft and had her cancel it. There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time.
November 29, 20231 yr Those could be the Spiegler steel brake lines - I have the same color banjo bolts on mine with the back tubing. Never done a lien....
November 29, 20231 yr If it is a local bank, you can go to the bank with the seller, give the bank the money, and they will release the lean through the DMV. Make sure they put you as the owner of the title. I had an issue with my car when the bank for some reason put the PO on the title, even though it had my address on it. I had to have the PO sign the new title over to me. A little bit of a pain, but the PO was a good guy.
