    Raceways Fleetwood

    Just have to say what a great bunch of folk these are. Have no connection with them but have been in for service, warranty work and new tyre recently- didn't buy the bike off them but I'm sure you won't find a friendlier dealership in Lancashire.... Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

    Normal unleaded or premium unleaded

    Just wondering what the concensus of opinion was.... Is it beneficial to use premium unleaded and pay the extra or do you not think there is any difference? I tend to put premium in but have used the normal stuff and can't say that I noticed any difference between the two. Cheers Tony

The straight edges I am using are not flexing...

    Wheel rim trims

    Anyone got the oem rim stickers? I've tried Wheel Rim Tape Reflective - Jesters Trick Bits Limited but with not much success-very difficult to get them sticking down flat against the side of the rim as they are supplied on a roll. I think the Yamaha trims come in 4 sections for each side of the...

    Getting on the bike with bag on seat

    I've often seen riders mount their bike by standing on the foot peg whilst the sidetand is still down. Im of the opinion that this puts excess load on the sidestand. But with a dry bag strapped to my pillion seat it does make mounting difficult. So would you say the sidestand can take the...
