    Ok guys who has done the most miles/km, and hows the bike looking.

    I had my 12K done on a trip back to the UK in September at Rob Speed in Cleethorpes. Very pleased with the service (Loaned me a Z1000TX for the day) It cost just over £150, a lot cheaper than Woking Yamaha! Im having no problems with it and it needed nothing. The only comment was that the...

    Who,s not had yamaha flash and if not why

    I may get mine done ( when I'm in for the loom) but since a 'reconfigured' the throttle cam, I don't have a huge issue. I'm guessing if I do get it done I should replace my throttle slider as well We'll see

    What causes a speed wobble (high speed weave)

    This may or may not be of any assistance but mine had awful weave (I mentioned it somewhere on here) Seemed to be back pack related!?! But it has now simply disappeared ? Whether I use the back pack or not, I haven't changed anything, it just not there. Unless it's shifted much further into...

    Optimate battery charger and tester

    I used an Optimate 3+ on the Mrs bike. Hooked up the battery, plugged it in and let it work its blinky light magic. Battery fully charged the next day. It couldn't be more hassle free unless it connected itself! Wasn't cheap though, I think about £45

    Cheers, I think the link is probably still on here somewhere If it's the same company, I mailed them yonks ago, no reply And their option looked like Meccano and seemed to carry the number plate plus light and indicators And I recall it was around €250 TBH even that is beginning to look like an...

    getting wet butt !

    You'd need a meter long rear hugger to make any differences I don't know why peeps keep posting suggesting extensions to the original as an option to prevent 'wet arse' I think the biggest mistake most of us made was getting rid of the original tail piece and fitting a 5x7 number plate If...

    Snatch Is Starting To P*ss Me Off

    I went for the DIY throttle cam mod with a needle file. Not at all difficult and 20 minutes tops

    Street Rally!

    Too me its appalling. Highlights all the aesthetics I don't like about the bike. I'd love to see some to their 'bad' ideas

    cruising speed

    Glad to hear you aren't having issues, so not an inherent design problem. And have to admit, I wasn't aware of it to begin with Yes typically wear a Kriega R30 I will experiment and see if I can effect it.

    cruising speed

    In the 90s its very cool. Ton+ its shite, wants to weave like a bitch WTF. Weird thing is it doesn't get progressively worse as you get closer to incarceration speeds. Gotta say if this isn't solvable it'll be going on auto trader

    Pyramid Plastics Rear Hugger Extender

    That looks better than that French one (which Im sooo close to getting) Im sick and tired of the mess Hi TT, let us know how you get on long term with your Rizoma tail tidy solution. Does it change the position of the plate substantially? It wold definitely be a better option. A picture would...
