History
Left outside on a guys porch to fend for herself for 10 years I've decided to foster her.
I've just picked up very haggard 2008 r1200r with ESA, computer and abs. She's only got 19k kms on her but was parked on this guys front porch in the weather for the last 10 years. LOTS of surface rust, corrosion, and faded plastics. I wasn't looking for a project bike but got it for a steal so I guess I have a new project bike!

Keep an eye out for leaking output shaft seal since its been sitting so long. Not a cheap repair as I just found out.

Yeah I just did the clutch which was slipping. While I was in there I replaced the rear main and balance shaft seals which were both leaking. Lots of work.
