Been a few busy days in the garage
While my wheels are away being re laced in stainless spokes I thought I would give it a bit of a strip and a clean, glad I did, I've never seen such poor quality plating, quite shocking realy on a 7k bike in this day and age, no excuses Yamaha, spent the week painting bits and replacing bolts with stainless, stripped and greased all the calipers, painted the backing plates on the rear pads and all three brake discs where they were starting to corrode where the pads don't run, stripped rear mudguard/light unit, cleaned and rebuilt with stainless fittings, had the standard exhaust de-catted and baffles drilled out, blocked off the ais with a marble. Also got DNA stage 1-2 to fit but I'm going to wit to fit them until my kev fuel mod and O2 thing turn up so I can fit them separately and feel the difference.
All this on a bike that has not even had its 1st service yet! 580 miles
