I have negotiated purchase of a 2000 R1100RT with 19,000 miles. Very clean bike. Can't wait to pick it up in a few weeks. I will be flying in to pick it up, then riding it 1300 miles to home. The seller is second owner and has averaged 2000 miles per year for last 5 years of ownership. The bike has been to dealer for routine maintenance only / nothing out of necessity. Battery is 2 1/2 yrs old. The bike has obviously been ridden on an occasional basis. My original post was put in the airhead section (oops...still learning this brand) and had to do with hall sensor / ignition failure. Now a bit spooked by the concept of sudden and unexpected failure on the road and wondering if I should pack a spare for the ride home. Seems a little on the extreme to me but is this issue a matter of when and not if, there's a failure? Or, was the issue satisfactorily addressed by the year of manufacture? Comments appreciated.
