Any hints to make life easier getting centre stand springs off and on again?


Cheers.

Spoilt riding 1000cc+ bikes for the last 20 odd years forgot how good the feeling is getting the best out of a screaming 14000rpm, 600cc,  been out today on my 600 Triumph speed four  finally got back into the way to ride a 600. I was 63 going on 23. I got back with aching knees, wrists, and various other bits,  but with a massive grin on my face reminded me I'm 63 not 23 when I recover I'm out on it again.   

The above event taking place at Lynn's Raven Cafe, Prees Heath, Whitchurch, Salop SY13 2AF.  Always well attended and a great day to catch up with old friends and view the vast array of bikes.

Hi anyone in or around the devon area

[color=rgb(29, 29, 29)]Hi all, recently I lost a key for my Tracer and after many days of searching admitted defeat and ordered a replacement from my local dealer. Guess what? Sod's law prevailed, the lost key was found (like, two days after I re-ordered! Grrrr!)and the dealer declined to cancel the order as it was a "special" (Grrrr! again). So - I have £49 quid's worth of blank (uncut, uncoded) chipped key. still in its packing. with original receipt. To you sir, £40 with free and quick delivery anywhere mainland UK (Yamaha UK took over a week to send this out) all you need to then do is nip to your dealer with the red key to get the new one cut and coded. [/color][color=rgb(29, 29, 29)][/size]Part no 5SL-82511-08 and should fit any current / recent YISS equipped Yamaha but a quick call to your local parts bloke will confirm. If this ad is still up then the key is still available. Tell your mates.....[/color]

So I've finished with the suspension, wilbers fork springs and new fork oil, and an R6 shock. Time for a service. Air and oil filter, plugs and oil change not too difficult. Hmm what's this exup thingy. Not much happening when I switch on. Flap itself moves, cables are OK. Took an age to wiggle the servo out, connected it to a spare battery, and it moves - but quite slowly. Any thoughts - should it turn quickly, is it worth taking it apart to have a look, or buy a 2nd hand one?

Always thought (and still think they are) that all original headers, 2001 to 2005 models are exactly the same and all years are obviously interchangeable, but at present there is a set on e bay, brand new being sold by Fowlers Yamaha with the part number pre-fix 1C2 (usually 5LV).  I emailed them as they said that it would only fit a 2005 model,  they assured me that Yamaha state it is only for a 2005 model! I believe this could possibly simply be a superseded part number, which sometimes happens as parts change in a very insignificant way.  Any thoughts?

occasionally my start button does nothing. I whack the right control block a few times and it works, although the Whacking doesn’t seem to actually do anything and it works when it wants too ...


Also I’ve had the 7k exup Rev fault display earlier at same time as starter was being funky. But I’ve rebuiilt the exup and set it up correctly, cables aren’t too tight etc and bike goes like fk and pulls away from my mates srad that did 130bhp on dyno ...
