Pete
Fuel gauge is fine, you just get a huge reserve amount of at least 100k's. Look in the mod section to find out how to better tune your bike. This will help reduce twitchy throttle and vibrations. Also cushion drive mod will help. Gearing down will help with high first gear and still allow a reasonable hwy speed. Lots of possible solutions on this site for buffeting. I found repositioning by tilting the whole screen back has given the best results. I truly believe it's too upright. Good luck, get sorted, and see you on the road. |

Thanks again Schnidely, I know nothing about mechanical stuff and wouldn't have a go at these things. Would a Yamaha dealer do the fuel mapping and cush drive mods? Do you know a bike mechanic that would do them for me?
I would like to try lowering the front forks by 10mm too while the lowering links are on. Cheers Pete |

Any bike mechanic will help you at a cost which makes them 'not so cheap' mods. The mods are very straight forward. A layman can do them with the right approach. And once you're done you will feel more of a connection with the bike.
Any probs along the way and the forum guru's are there for support. |

Hey Pete, I have the B & B rack which is aussie made and fairly cheap, about $90 from memory.
You're welcome to come on down to m.bah and check out my mods. We could drop your front end while you're here...easy job. |

Hi Schnidely, that sounds like a great offer. How about Saturday mid-morning or late afternoon? PM me your number and I'll give you a call.
