Sure, anything CAN, but I was playing the odds.

OP - I don't like his solution to Startus Interruptus. But past that there aren't a lot of things to worry about on em. Plastic tank might deform a little. The dash failures are major because they are expensive.

Personally I found mine to be hot as hell in warm weather. It just didn't move air well around the rider. But it was a really solid bike to pound miles or attack curves.

Neither do I, as it doesn’t sound like the fix that ive heard of on this board. But, owner says it works, and the starter only acts up when it’s cold out.

I wasn’t aware that they are hot, as it doesn’t have bodywork…who knew

Here is a pic…

Generally yup, though I did replace one on my 750. ;-)

1200 Sport claims 5 more hp.

The rear suspension linkage should have been disassembled and lubed before now, so ask about it. Not hard to do, but request a discount if appropriate; look for a video on YouTube for the procedure on the very similar Norge of that era.

This dash seem less liable to moisture failure than the Griso one.

Talking about the dash means big one. The CARC ones has dashes that failed more often than normal.

You can but try. Don't hold your breath though.
That indicator mounting is commonly used on Italian and some BMW bikes; have had quite a few broken ones before and ended up just replacing them, whee required.

I have a 1200 sport. I think it’s basically the same bike except for larger motor, fairing and seat cowl and the forks are fully adjustable with tin coated forks. Mines a 2008 with the original gauges so some hold up ok, I think the important thing is not to let them get wet. If I’m going to be parking in the rain I cover them. I’m the second owner and have put 13,000 miles since I bought it. These have really nice shifting transmissions and some have covered very high miles. The best of the 2 valve motors.
