I have been riding sense I was 13, (55 now) and wrenching for almost the same amount of time. I seem to have a fascination with torque and mussel bikes, that is why I am here. I picked up a in fair shape Valkyrie two yrs ago and it just not what I thought it would be. I am a standard rider and like to sit on not in a motorcycle. Daily rider is a Bandit 1250S with a lot of Mike Walker parts on it. Also really like my Vtwin Intruder 1400.
The R3 has really got my attention for my next power cruiser bike. I am trying to do my do diligence and fined the issues with the yrs ect. Seems the shifting spring is the big issue on the older models? I would be looking at a 2008 that seems to have a broken spring.
Just wondering if I should buy a R3 with a known shifter issue? I think I have a good background, tools and knowlage to accomplish or learn accomplish the fix.
Thanks in advance.
