I think Some are missing the point of my earlier post, so here's a cut'n'paste from a reply teacherman made in another thread:
I picked up a 06 AE yesterday with 5900 miles on it in pristine shape for 7900. I searched for several weeks. Not a lot of them were out there in CA. Sell the bike as stated above.
It appears to ME that teacherman has purchased an '06 to replace his rat-infested '03. Granted, it's an assumption on MY part, but he clearly states in a post dated December 28th at 1:26pm that he's purchased another FJR. That certainly post-dates his most recent reply to THIS thread, which was 12/28 at 1:20pm.
Whatcha wanna bet there's NOTHING wrong with his '03, other than some trashed-up throttle bodies?
