i'm a old skool oil boiler fan, now after 8 years of playing with my 2 gixxers
i'm wanting something different. i've been looking at a couple of tlr's and a tls.
what i'd like to know is what the problem area's are. what i should be concerned about and about what they're worth. any help would be greatly
appreciated. thanks

rod

since they were never as popular as the gsxr's there resale is slightly lower. I owned a tl1000r for 9 yrs and loved it. The TLR makes for an awesome street bike but not so good on the track due to the rotary rear damper, and weight.
Biggest problem I had was the clutch push rod seal would leak and I had to replace it twice but in 8-9 years I guess it aint that bad. There is a fix using a drinking straw that I tried last time but sold the bike the next year so wont get to see how it worked out.

things to do:
shim the rear shock to raise ride height to help with turn in (or buy a penske/ohlins/bitubo)
a member on a tl wrote a sticky on a fuel filter mod- removing the fuel filter in the tank and putting in an in-line - makes changing a breeze.
TRE - throttle is real jerky down low without it
best comfort mod is a corbin seat
tps setting and throttle bodies synched are import maint on twins
cant think of anything else right now :dunno
