LAMS version here - it was the only version available when I got it...engine, ECU and exhaust are stock

Thanks for that - I'll get it checked by the dealer

Hey Guys, Anybody else had this: on my ride home yesterday I noticed while stopped at a set of lights that the gear indicator was blank....thinking I was between gears, I let the clutch out a little...bike rolled forward - I was clearly in first, but the indicator was blank. Changed it up to...

27,000 kms - no issues to report, apart from being a little more vibey than I remember it being when new.

Had it just over a year, 20,000km service due this week - no stalling issues nor engine issues, but I suspect my head bearings are gone - started noticing a weave from the front-end recently. Sprayed the water pipes after they started looking crap, rear tyre changed after the original PR3...

That looks well worth trying!

Yeah, seems to be the case. Try as I might I couldn't get them to a position where I was confident in them without racks, so I built a rack...

Hi All, I'm the least engineering minded person in the world - my ambition exceeds my ability a thousand-fold, but I managed to rig up a DIY saddlebag support this afternoon to support my Givi Saddlebags - paying $180 for Yamaha branded supports left me cold! The best bit is that I can put it on...

Not to worry guys - made some myself, I'll add the details to another post.

This may not be helpful - but I didn't want to spend the extra on the Yamaha saddlebags so I bought a set of (far) cheaper Givi ones. It does look as if I'm going to need the Yamaha side rails though, so the saving may not be as great as I thought initially: Update: I built my own support for...

My issue with Goretex (I have a Revit Goretex jacket and trousers) is getting the damn thing dry in the office once I arrive...any suggestions? Once the outer layer is soaked it seems to take forever to dry out and ends up smelling like a wet dog. As a result I'm experimenting with a cheapish...

I know this was long ago...but did you ever get sorted without the saddlebag racks? I just bought exactly the same bags...but it does look as if I'm going to need racks

That may well work! Alternately a wrap of neoprene around my frame sliders so that my boots don't slip off...gives me the space to stretch out the knees and hips!

Seems to be since I passed 40....before then it was all fun with no aches and pains!
