I would definitely recommend Digger Seats. I have had mine reprofiled to give a lower seat height and better support for the pillion. Similar to the one pictured. Contact digger and he will do what you want with your original seat base. Takes about a week. Very reasonable on cost.
I can do 8 hours in the seat and am just starting to feel uncomfortable. Not bad for a 70 year old.

Hi That raised a few comments. My final word - If you are in any doubt as to wether you are still competent on the road, take the IAM course or something similar. I took mine in 2007 at 67 years of age and was surprised at the amount I learnt and how it changed my rideing style. Try it !! Regard Mike

Hi It sounds as though this all could be solved with a good service by a competent yamaha mechanic. Sometimes you just have to cough up the cash.

What the hell is the matter with you guys. If you feel like riding just ride. I am 74 years young and am visiting spa in Belgium next month for the classic meeting. Stop counting and keep riding. Good luck and ride safe.

Hi Problem solved with sat nav bike dock. It appears that I was sold a faulty bike dock. Had to consult a sat nav technician. Supplier replaced faulty item and sat nav now works on bike and car. Anyone who wants a good sat nav technician, I have one. Although he tested everything but could not rectify the fault on the spot, it was NO CHARGE and he spent a couple of hours checking. Good man.

Hi I am not being petty but make sure the sight glass is at least to the maximum level mark or even better completely covering the window. Ignore the maximum and minimum levels quoted in the book. Best of luck. Mike

Hi Keep your oil topped up to the top of the glass. The oil level light is very sensitive. Had this episode some years ago but not since I took the advice of a Yamaha mechanic. Regards Mike

Hi Thanks for all the suggestions. I have gone through all of them except checking voltage at the dock end of the cable as I dont have anything small enough to go into the sockets. Working on it. Regards Mike

Hi Has anyone experienced problems with operating this sat nav from the bike battery. Mine stopped working from the direct battery cable and will not charge. I have changed the cable to the battery and the bike dock to no avail. Any suggestions or solutions please. Regards Mike

Hi All
First, thanks to Tori for arranging a brilliant lunch. Nice to see a few faces with common interest. Should be able to get together in the summer for a rideout. I am sure we can find a common point for all of us to meet without going too far. Regards Mike

Hi The warm up sessions finish at 11.00 and the superstock race starts 11.50 that way we only miss the Ducati 848 challenge. Outside the Kentagon on the wooden benches seems a place all can find. Regards Mike

Be aware !! The problem is not in the fitting but the removing at a later date. I have had damaged paint in the past. A Bagalux tank protector and tank bag solves many problems in one move, and for the life of the bike usually. Regards Mike

Hi I am waiting for my "squidgy" earplugs from Ultimate Ear. Had moulds taken at MCN Show last month. Will let you know what the result of the first use is. Maybe a few weeks. Regards Mike
