This is a quick and simple replacement that you could probably do yourself. The only problems that the solenoids cause is a difficulty in starting the bike after months of not being used. If you plan to ride this bike this summer, you could probably wait to replace the solenoids after the season ends.-- Electrical issues. When this bike was repaired long before I got it, the mechanic evidently didn't do a great job with the wiring. This has caused some problems for me in the past - issues with tail lights, starters, etc. My mechanic has fixed every issue that has come up, and anything he's fixed probably won't break again. However, I can't guarantee that every single electrical problem has been repaired at this point.RECENTLY-PERFORMED UPGRADES AND REPAIRS (around 1000 miles ago):-- New Michelin Pilot Power 3 tires-- New front brake rotors -- New front and rear brake pads-- New front and rear sockets-- New gold chain -- New brake and clutch levers-- New handle grips-- New front right clip on (OEM)-- New right side clutch cover-- New battery (Installed this week)-- Oil and coolant changed approximately 1000 miles agoINCLUDED IN SALE:-- Carfax report, detailing the history of this bike-- Receipts from mechanic, showing history of all work recently performed.This bike is ready to ride.
