I recently got a 1200Rt as a small project. i.e. ABS not working, ESA not working, Fuel strip not working. The bike had done 10,000 miles.

Stripped all plastic and tank off. ABS by pass was quite straight forward easy to fix. Split the Dash, put sponge foam over red ABS light.

ESA front shock damper was rusted up and goosed, but shock is okay. i.e. oil &gas.
Rear shock faulty damper but can work re load by bypassing control switch.

All back together took and passed MOT. Tester commented, the bikes like new.

You can put ACF50 on the outside of your bike to stop it rusting but look at the shock absorber they seem to be rusting from the inside out.:eek:

With a deep clean and polish, some stainless fittings and ACF50, it looks good and rides very nice. Pleased with it.

Going to try the prezzo fix on the fuel strip next.

Got a pressie coming from Timaloy for the bike.

Wife likes the comfort of the RT.


Must do a report on my K75RT Ultima this week.
