Hi guys

Ive an 06 XTR 35k miles on it, just had a front puncture repaired and noticed that the pinch bolts casting on the RHS fork has a crack on it like what is documented for the X only this is now on an R.

I know there is another guy from Tyneside who came on here recently looking a fork leg who had the same problem with his R.

Im pretty pissed off at the moment as now the milage is pretty high the problems are all showing there faces (bearings, electrics etc) and as the bike is my only means of transport i either have to luckily get a lift into work with my dad (same area of work) or nick my mums car (again luckly im on her insurance but hassle of organising her to get to work etc)

Any body else had this problem on an R?

Am I still safe to ride the bike? (hard question really but need to ask)

Chances of getting this fixed by yamaha? (even though my bikes out of warrenty a good time ago)

Any ideas where and how much a RHS 06 XTR fork leg is? (not yamaha prices as i will just cry)
