how can yamaha justify the price of the exup bearing price? it is £41.10 inc vat for what is just a steel tube,luckily there is a motorcycle dealer selling them for £16.35 plus post which i think is still expensive,and why do i need it,both of my bearings are very worn,luckily the replacement exup valve is from a low mileage bike so has little wear on it but the breakers where i got my down pipes from took the bearing out
here is the ebay page if anyone needs one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290615237103?s...1438.l2649

I am about to get an Ivans carb kit for my Gen 1. Bit confused about this full monty people keep refering to, is this a different kit or is it the same kit with mods done to the airbox, filter, & intake rubbers. I want extract the max performance from the bike, but being a Yorkshireman dont want to compromise the excellent fuel consumption. The bike is fitted with a Beowulf legal can. Any advice appreciated. 

Rode into London today with mine out and a lot of bikes are still louder than mine. Ok I know a lot keep them out so are technically illegal, but at idle or low revs its still a lot quieter than any of the HDs I encountered.

Have a good look around - not at the content but at how it is laid out on your particular device(s).

UNBELIEVABLE Truck Crash

My lid got scratched by falling off the passenger seat,  when I was busy putting the disc brake on. The lid is a viper RS -V 121.  Also, anyone know where I can get a battery for the bluetooth?


(Edit - erroneous photo removed)

is there any foccer nearby that could please help me understand how to unpartition matts hard drive, at the moment one bit is full, but i cant work out how to move stuff over to the empty side- like all his i-tunes - as then when he goes to play them it cant find them - so i have obviously missed out a needed and simple (not for this foccer) process in it all.

i could bring it round to a foccers house, or probably do it with a bit of phone help

we are in kettering and its an acer pc

thanks

I've got carbon fibre fairing infills, and side panels, and the two box type covers on my gen1.  On a couple of the pieces,  around the corners,  there is a slight discoloration where the lacquer has lifted a tad,  leaving small white marks.    How can I repair this.    I heard tell that you can rub it down back to the CF then just pain lacquer over the top.

Question - what should I use to rub it down,  and what type of lacquer - name, where to get it, method of application, should I use for the job.   

Any ideas?

thanks
