This is my unmolested, one owner, out all year round, 86000 miler.
It gets out a lot in all weather
Looking good, shame about the colour. 86k good going. Had many issues over the years unfazed. I have to say the bike looks sharp.
As least mine has a colour
yours is still in primer awaiting your decision to paint it some colour
3 problems in all that time,
1. The dreaded sprocket nut issue where Danfay the Irish Yamaha dealers Focced up and did not repair it properly leading to them supplying all the parts requires to repair it at half price when I lost the plot with them at the 72000 mile mark. I posted my own fix in the downloads section. It has been fine since.
2. A burned connector from the ignition switch under the tank and I replace it at around 50,000 miles.
3. Clutch cable changed at 60,000 as it started fraying.
Changed the clutch at 40000 miles and the camchain at 50,000 miles, Hard riding and track days took its toll on both, still as quite as a mouse.
Only modifications K&N filter at 3000 miles, Hagon rear shock, progressive front springs at 20,000 miles with 15w oil. scottoiler.
New Motad downpipes since the picture was taken last year. When I changed the downpipes, I removed the sump to check the pick up filter as the pipes were off, see picture and this was at 84000 miles.
Oil changed every 4000 miles and filter every 8000 with out fail.
It has been down the road 3 times, once my own fault (made the wrong choice out of 3) the other two due to the actions of others.
I have never used polish on it, I using Autoglym to clean, wash it down and when dry cover the Tyres and Discs which old sheets and spray the lot with WD40. (5 liter can and spray bottle) Wipe it off the paint and plastics and end can and leave it burn into the engine and down pipes. It keeps the engine shiny and stops rust taking hold.
Would not sell it for anything, love the 1000 but the 600 is just special.
