I like that seat ! Where did you get it from, Bumpyride? We still have stock issues from Yamaha NZ so it looks like I will have to get one from overseas. Yamaha NZ have it on their website at NZ$ 325
PM 2017, I have owned both 2016 ( standard exhaust) and 2017 ( fitted with an Akra TI ) The. 2017's fueling is a lot better than the previous models. THe problem is the Euro 4 emissions requirements forcing the manufacturers to run the very lean at lower revs. When they run under 3200rpm they...
