hiya the black frame is carbon fiber covers sprayed satin black to match the swinging arm, and i stripped down the front end to spray the top and bottom yokes myself. you cant beat the good old yamaha speedblock design. Still looks good 40 years on!!!!
hiya , you are doing the right thing putting the meter between the neg term and the battery, i work on cars and a12 volt system is a 12 volt system. A good reading would be 0.07 amp or less ( 7 hundreath of 1 amp) even better get an amp clamp, then it saves you disconneting the negative lead...
Just taken out my bike after stripping it down over the winter months for a paint job, Well pleased with the paintwork all done by tony at cyclesprays in surrey.
it sounds spot on , dont forget to file the contact surface where it touches the silencer a little. Its makes it far easier to get in and out. Good luck
