Hi everybody.
As I introduced myself here : https://www.gt-rider.com/thailand-motorcycle-forum/showthread.php/40779-Passing-by-SEA the bike and I have done many miles together. Selling it is not an easy decision, but it would be the easiest way to achieve the rest of my trip, saving cost on shipping and Carnet de passage for Australia (I will the new one there, and skip importation hassles!).

The bike has french number plate and 2 keys, registered on my name. I don't know yet how to proceed to sell it in Thailand, so any suggestions are welcome !!

Here is a picture from last month in Cambodia (many more picture on my facebook page : https://facebook.com/Asierider/ )

- I replace the mirrors by double take mirrors from adventure-spec. I want to keep them as well.
- gearbox shaft in perfect condition, i always check my chain tension to avoid any tension there.
- reinforced front brake line
- batterie YUASA (changed at 46 000 km)

Spare parts :
- original fuel pump and regulator
- brake and clutch lever
- accelerator cables (already on the bike ready to be swapped)
- clutch cable (already on the bike ready to be swapped)
- bearings front and rear wheel
- rear brake pads
- clutch plates + clutch seal (needed when you open)
- spark plugs

Oil+filter change every 7-9000 km
New cooling liquid
New brake fluid

The bike as some repair on the front fairing : no crash, due to vibration and tension due to the big tank i was using (48 liters, still posible to swap if you want). The bike had no rust whatsoever!

Never had any problem with the engine. With new mirrors and a trailtech speedo, the bike is ready to go! If i can't sell it i will keep going with it in Australia, New Zeeland and America (South to North). I trust this bike, the mechanic is in perfect condition and i wouldn't sell it otherwise.

I'm asking 5000 USD for it, which I think is a fair price, considering there is 3500 USD accessories on it + all the maintenance done on it. I can take 400 USD off the price if I keep the double take mirrors and the trailtech voyager.
