Yeah same here mate. Mine was corroded to fk in the end, and screen was shite. I ended up with a very short sport one, I loved the throttle response in a mode, proper hooligan

For all those that have had them reworked by whoever, are new springs / bushes (if needed) and oil enough to make a significant difference to the ride without the revalving? Or are they still choppy over bumps?
My bike is generally harsh at slow speed on shitty rough B roads, but once I’m flying it’s firm but it takes The sting out of high speed bumps 80-100mph. That’s what I wanted tho as I don’t hang about. It’s track bike hard and doesn’t dive much under braking. I’d probably have progressive springs and a proper revalve if you want proper smooth comfort for moderate speed touring

I had a tracer 900 for 2 years, loved it. Suspension wasn’t the best and took a lot to dial out the gremlins, but the new GT version has decent fully adjustable stuff and it’s fully sorted. If I had the money I’d have the GT version

Bikerz in stoke did my knackered forks with ktec linear springs for £205 all in

Yeah when I hit 120 on a straight along a local [size=78%]B road, I usually start screaming in my helmet and then back off and break seriously early for the bend just in case like [/size]   [/size][size=78%] even if the road was shut I doubt I could ride much quicker really, maybe 10% or something [/size]These guys are God’s

I just got mine sorted, it was dangerous . Had the forks rebuilt with stiffer ktec springs by bikerz in stoke. Firm but comfortable. Fitted early bronze s1000rr shock, easy job, and it’s awesome now. Rear is an inch higher too

So wich one should I choose? The one with the silver fork or the bronze fork?
I’ve got the bronze one. It’s epic

Angel gts on this bike. Decent but not as soft and sticky as the st I had on my tracer
Rear will be done in a thousand miles so I’m going for an m7rr

No split link on these, it would be suicide imo
Jt sprockets and a dud chain off eBay seems good value, with a chain tool to rivet the thing
As for your linkage, I did the s1000rr shock, easy mod, I used an early shock, bronze body 2008 iirc. This has transformed it, and the rear is an inch higher. I’m on tiptoes but I love it !

Anyone on OEM brake lines should seriously get them replaced on safety grounds, Yamaha suggest a lifespan of 4 years for them !!!! Wezmoto on eBay is your best bet price-wise, exactly the same kit as Hel and the same lifetime warranty.
Ok cheers mate What fluid do you all recommend?

so I’m a big lad, 22 stone, but damn these brakes ain’t sharp ffs. It’s done 45k and I don’t think much has been done to her other than oil changes. Engine is sweet, just had valve clearances done and pretty much all of them were miles out. But the brakes are crap. Pull the front brake hard and it will stop but 3 finger pulls are poor at best:(
I’m thinking a fluid change would be a start, but then steel braided lines at same time will surely improve the performance?

I have a mivv titanium oval on my Gen 1, with no baffle in. It’s absolutely lush lol, crisp and rather audible, but no way is it too loud ! It’s just nice even at an 80mph motorway cruise Compared to the motad full system I had on my tracer900 it’s very quiet. My ears used to ring the day after a decent ride out with that bloody thing, but it was sexual

Raped the absolute cnt off of it, chasing my insane mate on his srad 750 Tbf I won I the straights. I let him go on the corners because he’s a mental

occasionally my start button does nothing. I whack the right control block a few times and it works, although the Whacking doesn’t seem to actually do anything and it works when it wants too ...
Also I’ve had the 7k exup Rev fault display earlier at same time as starter was being funky. But I’ve rebuiilt the exup and set it up correctly, cables aren’t too tight etc and bike goes like fk and pulls away from my mates srad that did 130bhp on dyno ...

Who? The ones who think they're better than they are, who go across there and wipe themselves out? If it's an accident black spot (which it is) they install cameras and then is spoils it for everyone who knows their limits and rides within them.
That’s just natural selection. Doesn’t mean the rest of us should have to suffer

Just been on first proper thrash with my biking mate on his srad 750. He said I was pulling away from him at one point so I’m well happy with that. It’s a bit of an animal tbh

I’m a big lump at 22 stone, probably helps keep the front down in second, I have to short shift first as it lifts for fun. If I’m “on it” so to speak, as soon as I whack the throttle open I always stick my head down just peeking over the fairing, elbows all most touching knees and anything over 70/80 you need to tuck or you’re getting blown off the bike almost  But yeah I probably change just before the limiter tbf, just as power starts to tail off. Thats needle hovering over the ton

It pulls like fuck all the way to the limiter, it’s not like you lose power

I don't really understand why you would want to?
You being serious? Why wouldnt you want to

I dunno but my gen 2 certainly does 😅
I would have thought an ivanised Gen 1 could do it? Not that it's generally a good idea to stress the components that much on a regular basis
Eh ? Who doesn’t redline their bike in second? I thrash the arse off my bikes always have, what’s the point otherwise lol

only just started to proper rape this, being my first litre bike. I swear earlier on, I did a 4 car overtake on a twisty single lane A road off a roundabout and as I changed into third as it hit limiter, I looked at revs/speedo and I was doing 100mph Is this right ? Will these bad boys do a ton in second on stock gearing ?

Apparently bed liner spray is pretty tough
