Got another RT Good thing, ESA Stuck BAD Thing...

Well I knew it going into the purchase but thought/hoped that it would be an easy fix. When has that ever been the case, right? Got a pretty sizeable discount on it but still nowhere what it would be to replace with a new one. This 2005 had 16000 on the clock and was owned by a female IBA rider. Good for her!

After tearing into the ESA unit what I found is that the ESA pre-load is stuck, can't move it and won't budge but the motor is still operable.

Other than that love the bike as I have my past ones, even two up riding. They just GO and GO!!!! My past ones have gotten me from the NW to SW and back without a hitch. Wish I had the time for more distant adventures but that time will come someday. :)

Good to see you on.
Please try to remember that "commerce" such as "want to buy" and "want to sell" need to be in the flea market.
We have things set this way so the forum doesn't end up like the bulletin board at the grocery store......full of outdated confusing clutter.
Thanks,
The Moderator Team.
