Welcome to the world of "Fazership"!
I have exactly the same model as yours-mine is a 2000 build(5DMA) but with a 2001 "Y" registration. Yours looks in good condition-mine came with the usual cracks on the nose cone where bike had been dropped by previous owner so have a bit of plastic welding to do over winter months.
Otherwise have done all the service/maintenance jobs including replacing the tired old rear shock & had the front forks overhauled by local specialist. In fairness mine is now showing 53,000 on clock & has a slight rattle from the clutch that disappears when the lever pulled in.
By chance I purchased a set of taper roller headset bearings & seals from "Marksman" but in the event after checking/cleaning/regreasing/readjusting existing ones I didnt have to replace after all. So if you are interested you can have these for £20 posted. Brand is "Codex"-they are good quality as are all products supplied by "Marksman"
I can vouch for their rear suspension linkage bearings which were a fraction of the cost of Yamaha OEM & every bit as good!
PM me if interested. Dave
