Anyone know this bike in LA/E. Long Beach?

A friend of mine is looking to join the fold, and we've been talking about what to look for. He found this one in LA and I looked here, doesn't appear to be posted for sale on this forum. He would be flying in from South Carolina, and riding back - I know we all approve of that!

Don't know the bike, but he should check if it's a California model or a 49 state model

I would check a few things:

Was first valve clearance check/adjustment performed?

Has the Throttle Position Sensor recall been done?

Has the weak Cam Chain Tensioner been replaced?

That rear tire doesn't look like a Michelin to me, but whatever, it looks fairly new, Dunlop Maybe?

Its a very nice bike for not a lot of money. Gen 1 FJRs rock!

Have you seen this one from here just posted today? Could be a better value and a bit closer for a fly-n-ride.

Thanks. He's looking in SoCal because a buddy of his is buying a bike out there, so they're both doing the fly-and-ride together...

Isn't that just a matter of removing the canister?

There is no problem running a CA model in any other state so its completely a non-issue.

Its only the other way around that is tricky and even then its only on sub-7500 mile bikes that it matters....
