The number of worn parts I've had to replace beggars belief…. discs, pads, drivechains/sprockets, tyres, suspension/steering bearings, downpipes, centrestand, carbs, engine*, the fuel tank rusted through… and to cap it all, it actually broke down once!
All this in just 15 years and 158,000 miles. It's a disgrace.
I thought it was just me, but if others have been having trouble too we should group together and demand compensation from Yamaha.
These big companies only respond to litigation and if we don't fight them they'll keep ripping us off with shoddy rubbish like this.
* (Well, OK, perhaps I should only put that down as cam chain, but I was too lazy to investigate and had a cheap replacement motor available.)
