Can't really see how they could become worth very much unless the disks didn't follow the vehicle at point of sale and said vehicle became a pristine classic.
I've got all the tax discs for the bike and like others I doubt they'll be thrown away, just kept in a tin by all like Greenshield and Coop stamps 

I too keep mine in a tin next to my greenshield stamps which sit next to my unopened blister pack of star wars figures

And Smurfs........

each to their own---------I dont judge

Todays the day then----------which one are we going for

Ah ha so I can remove it now then, its just that when it has been talked about by politicians/ news they used words like --- roll out -- transition which made my think it would be a slow process as each vehicle was taxed after 1st Oct

Its not just resting, what I have seen is that they have both feet down- flat foot about an inch off the ground and they ride along like this all the time, not just pulling away from lights, and its scooters

Just a bump for this, but I am still 50-50 if I can make it

Yep I had a light on hard accelerating issue a while back, the level was where it was supposed to be so I poped in an extra 50ml which cured it, this was after about 500 miles after new oil and filter, I must of changed the oil about 5 times in the past and always used castrol act-evo but this time the oil was hein gerrik so im pointing my finger at the oil being slightly different I know it shouldnt be but the fill level has always been the same yet with the hein oil I had to pop a bit more in.
Yes I know 50ml is only about the size of an egg cup but that was the difference between tripping the light and not 

when you pull the wheel back the distance between the calliper torque arm point and the swing arm fixing point stays the same,the holes are round not elongated, what changes is the calliper rotation which is catered for by a greased pivot point at each end of the arm held inplace by a 23nm bolt that still allows for a pivot on calliper rotation when the wheel is pulled back.
That's how I am seeing it. 

just have a look at that haynes for us a minute and tell us which way to turn the key in the seat lock - I'm not sure ?! cheers

It says clockwise--is that wrong then because you are not making any sence now because you said

 you are better off with a Haynes if you are new to Yamahas or indeed perhaps new to bike DIY in general

So are you now saying I should take no notice of haynes

Yep I see it all the while they always want to have a "go" its like they dont like being over taken by flitering, if we are next to each other at the lights I just let them go, I dont feel the need to prove anything to a silly boy in a car. And then at the next lights when he is 3 cars from the front I just fliter right past him to the front of the que. Whats the piont in anything else.

Now then tonyw im with you and all that about tailgating but are you not popping a wheelie 8 seconds into your clip-------------just sayin

Im still scratching my chin on this whole tourque arm thing.
How come then if you should loosen it (both ends ) before you pull back the wheel-------- how come you CAN still pull back the wheel without loosening said arm.
And what exactly is the tourque arm providing tourque against or what tourque is it countering, I always thought it was to stop the caliper spinning around the disk when you brake --- but isnt it bolted in place?

I supose I shouldnt take this thread off track. And you are right there seems loads that have done it. We dont know if this is what caused kebabs because he has not come back to his post.
But here is kebabs picture before it broke, compared to the OEM it is a lot lower and makes for a greater angle on the arm which inturn puts extra stress on the swingarm mount point. (to me anyway)
Edit--- or has he mounted the hanger differently
