Hey all,
Just picked up a 2004 VS1400 in very nice shape. Turned 9,000 miles on the ride home. Maybe not mint but pretty close - the paint and chrome appear perfect, and I've never seen cleaner mechanical nooks and crannies. New brakes and tires too.
Had quite a few bikes over the years, mostly enduros and dual sports. Made the mistake of selling my V-strom last year. Only 1 day of riding on the intruder, but so far I love it. Very different, but a nice way to take in the sights.
Does the clutch engage very far out on all of them? Mine grabs about 90% out, and "grabs" indeed.
I also lack an owners manual and shop manual - any good links?
Anyway,
Glad to join.

Lots of us had 1400s and a few still do.
