Hey fellas and ladies, I've had my Gen 1 thou since Nov 04, new then. Since then it's taken me on a coupla continental trips and never missed a beat. Due to circumstances I've had to rely on it for daily transport so it now has 61 plus thou on the clock, battered tank, dirty, cracked nose fairing, Devilsyam has seen it and and almost cried. But the bits that matter are fine, still pulls like a train, ivanised by Mike in 05, R6 shock. I'm seriously thinking of selling. I'm 54 tomorrow and don't think I can handle another winter of commuting 300 plus miles a week. It's got a good set of BT023's, recent new front pads ( Carbone Lorraine A3+) serviced regularly by me, ( I do know what I'm doing!) Any idea what I can ask for it? I swear the bike is sound, despite the looks. I'll get some pics on here when I can. Just thought I'd offer you guys an option for a restoration project or just as a winter hack. I won't sell to just anyone, I want the bike to be looked after like I used to be able to afford to. Any comments welcome.

| Replacing water pump inlet pipe |

After eventually getting enough hours of not rain to go out and inspect 'Bee, I've traced the coolant leak to the water pump inlet pipe.
I've a replacement set of assorted water and oil pumps coming from the Bay of Flea, but after that I'm not sure what to do.
Anyone done this?
Looking at the service manual it appears to be a case of drain the coolant, remove the radiator hoses from the associated pipes, unbolt them and just pull it out.
Fnar.
HOWEVER, experience says that Yam have a habit of making things slightly more complicated than that.
Not me, I'm a veritable mechanical genius...
:rollin
I'm fairly happy playing with things (did the R1 fork mod/rebuild mesen, service her happily, swapped the butterflies out etc) but is this gonna turn around and bite me in the arse is my question.
She's my daily commuter, so could really do without foccin' her up.
