Just one in the F800GS
gang.
[ Monday - March

Oh the beauty of owning an '09 F800GS. I still count my
blessing as my problem manifest itself as a hard to start problem only.
Most of the other folks out
there are encountering problems with stalling, which is a lot more
dangerous while on the move. The below Youtube
video has an owner's bike stall
after stall while riding a trail. Not only that, it
even stalls while he's on city streets. He keeps on pulling off
to the side of the street to re-ignite his
bike. All this under a beautiful blue sky.
Poor Coyote50. He has it pretty
bad.
Who said the bumble bee version is immune?
What does this all mean? It means I get to haul the 8GS into the
dealer tomorrow and leave the bike with them until my hard to start
problem
is fixed. In the meanwhile, I'll be putting money down on a
reliable R12R just so I can get myself going again. I never
should have
gotten rid of the 12R in the first place. Now the question is,
can I get the R12R that I want? The other reason why I'm going
back to the
12R is because I never got rid of all the accessories from the 12R in
the first place. I'm
all set if I get the 12R with the configuration I want.
